The new rules are coming! Shenzhen furniture industry will completely ban solvent-based coatings

The reporter learned from the Shenzhen Municipal People's Living Environment Committee on the 17th that the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone technical specification "Limited Quantity of Hazardous Substances in Finished Furniture and Raw and Auxiliary Materials" (hereinafter referred to as the new standard) will be officially implemented on January 1, 2017. This means that Shenzhen has completely banned solvent-based coatings and solvent-based adhesives in the furniture industry, and the green transformation of the furniture industry will enter the fast lane.

According to the relevant person in charge of the Municipal Human Settlements Committee, in recent years, with the continuous deepening of atmospheric environmental management, the air quality in Shenzhen has been continuously improved, and the national air quality secondary standard has been stably achieved. The problem is highlighted. In 2015, the number of days of ozone as the main pollutant exceeded PM2.5, becoming the primary pollutant in Shenzhen. As a precursor to ozone production, control of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) is critical.

The furniture industry is not only the traditional industry of Shenzhen, but also the industry with the largest emissions of VOCs in Shenzhen. There are about 1,500 furniture companies in Shenzhen, including more than 300 large and medium-sized enterprises.

The furniture industry is the industry with the largest emissions of VOCs in Shenzhen.

The person in charge said that the new specification will be officially implemented from January 1, 2017. From that date to the end of April 2017, the transition period will be used, and eligible solvent-based coatings and adhesives will still be used; until May 1, 2017 From the beginning of the day, solvent-based coatings and solvent-based adhesives will be completely banned from use in the furniture industry in Shenzhen.

At the same time, the new regulations apply to furniture finished products sold and produced in Shenzhen Special Economic Zone, and raw and auxiliary materials for furniture sold and used. The finished furniture includes wooden furniture and metal furniture (only applicable to metal furniture containing wood materials and soft covering materials). Upholstered furniture, other types of furniture can be referred to; furniture raw materials include adhesives, wood coatings, wood materials, textile fabrics, leather, except for other types of furniture.

The person in charge said that in the next step, Shenzhen will also provide financial subsidies for the company's supervision, and the subsidy standard will be unified to 25% of the cost of water-based renovation of the production line. Shenzhen furniture industry as the key remediation industry for Shenzhen VOCs emissions, after the completion of water-based transformation, the VOCs emissions of the industry will be reduced by more than 80%.
