The development of the coating industry needs environmental protection optimization

At present, China's total economic volume has ranked second in the world, but the cost is greater, some local ecological environment carrying capacity has been near the limit. Development and transformation is a hard task, future growth must be premised on improving quality and efficiency, supported by resource conservation and ecological environmental protection, and driven by scientific and technological innovation and technological progress. It is in this way of thinking, china recently issued a dense list of negative market access (pilot version) and other environmental protection policies, covering VOC governance, the elimination of backward production capacity, etc. , is to reverse the "high input, high emissions, high pollution, low quality, low efficiency" growth mode, so that China's economy can be sustainable and healthy development. However, in the context of the overall macro-economic adjustment and transformation of the paint industry, can not stay out of the situation, will inevitably be affected by macro-policy.
, China's paint industry development for more than 30 years, the source of competitiveness is mainly the comparative advantage of resource endowment. Therefore, in a long period of time, the large investment of labor, land and natural resources is one of the advantages of the development of China's coating industry. Development so far, China's large number of paint enterprises still stay mainly rely on low prices of resources to enhance the competitiveness of enterprises on the development of ideas, "high input, high consumption, high emissions, difficult to recycle, low efficiency" extensive industrial growth mode has not fundamentally changed. However, if the development model of collage resources and environment continues to exist, it will not only bring about various social contradictions, including environmental problems, but also be detrimental to the sustained growth of the coating industry. To solve the problem of the current mode of industrial development, it is necessary to optimize and transform the industry.
industry optimization and transformation need a carrier, and environmental protection is a breakthrough, with environmental protection indicators to promote the transformation of industrial development and promote the optimization and upgrading of industrial structure.
We see that most of the ten measures mentioned in the Air Pollution Prevention and Control Action Plan policy are closely related to the paint and chemical industry, such as the implementation of comprehensive waste gas remediation, chemical enterprises must implement special emission limits for atmospheric pollutants, orderly promote the environmental protection of heavy polluting enterprises such as chemical industry relocation, transformation, promotion of the use of water-based coatings, encourage the production, sale and use of low-toxic, low-volatile organic solvents. In addition, other environmental protection policies are also mostly related to coatings and chemicals, and the requirements are extremely demanding.
fact, in a sense, the development of strict environmental protection requirements, it seems to be the development of the paint industry ruthless, in fact, the treatment of the industry's traditional development methods of ills. The special function of environmental protection to optimize the development of paint industry is more prominent today when there is an urgent need to transform the way of industrial development.
environmental protection is conducive to promoting industrial restructuring and transformation. Industrial restructuring is the basic strategy to control PM2.5 pollution. The control of air pollution can not only start from the end, the severe air pollution situation reflects China's extensive economic structure, only to optimize the layout of industrial structure, fundamentally improve the quality of the air environment can be achieved.
It is also based on this, the State Council deployed ten measures for the prevention and control of air pollution clearly put forward "with the law, standards 'reverse forced' industrial transformation and upgrading", "air pollution prevention and control action plan" also explicitly mentioned "adjustment and optimization of industrial structure, promote economic transformation and upgrading"; In addition, other environmental policies also involve structural adjustment and transformation and upgrading. We see that some environmental protection policies clearly put forward the prohibition of new solvent-based coatings projects, vigorously promote the development of non-polluting water-based coatings, water-based coatings instead of solvent-based coatings. From this policy content, will undoubtedly effectively adjust the proportion structure of China's water-based coatings and oil-based coatings, water-based coatings in the future will get more opportunities for development.
environmental protection is conducive to speeding up the process of technological innovation. Michael Porter, a U.S. business competitiveness expert and Harvard Business School professor, points out that strict environmental regulations promote competitiveness by encouraging innovation and technological progress, because companies operate in competitive markets, not at a standstill, but often in innovative ways to cope with pressures from competitors, customers, regulations, and so on, so well-designed, good environmental standards can help lead to innovation, by using raw materials, energy and labor more efficiently, to reduce the total cost of products or increase product value, and thus improve competitiveness. For example, Fuste recently used new technology research and development to produce light-energy self-cleaning paint, is a new technology, new products, which is in line with the mainstream of market consumption, with a higher added value, will inevitably bring economic benefits.
environmental protection is conducive to accelerating the pace of green development. At present, China's paint VOC emissions are serious, how to reduce the paint industry VOC emissions has become one of the focus of environmental protection policy management. There is no doubt that to control VOC emissions, enterprises need to water-based coatings, powder coatings, high solids or solvent-free coatings, UV curing coatings and other low-polluting coatings as an important development direction; On the application side, more measures such as fully closed operation, reducing un organized emissions and comprehensive recycling VOC are taken to promote green development. In addition, environmental protection requires environmental carrying capacity as the basic condition for industrial development, and encourages industrial actors to strive for technological innovation, improve the efficiency of resource utilization and make the most of recycled resources.
environmental protection is conducive to improving the level of industrial development. To implement the requirements of environmental protection, it is necessary to raise the entry threshold of the industry and change the market access conditions, especially to implement mandatory standards of resource, energy and environmental consumption in the coating and chemical industry, and to establish a system of compulsory elimination of backward processes, technologies and equipment with high energy consumption, high water consumption and high pollution. Only by eliminating backward production capacity and effectively integrating the factors of production can we provide greater resources and environmental space for the coating industry to become bigger and stronger. Only by eliminating those backward technologies and enterprises, so that paint enterprises with advanced productivity have greater opportunities for development. In order to comprehensively improve the development level of the entire coating industry.
, China's paint industry is still a high energy consumption and high pollution of extensive development mode, lack of competitiveness, the urgent need for transformation. From the point of view of environmental protection policy-building, environmental protection is a rare opportunity for the long-term sustainable development of the coating industry, which can optimize the development of industry and promote the transformation and upgrading of industrial economic development. Environmental protection is an important measure to optimize the development of industry, and will certainly continue to maintain steady and rapid development of China's paint industry input positive energy.
