In the first half of the year, exports became an important support for the rubber industry, and a breakthrough broke through at a new starting point

On August 30, the second council of the 10th Session of The China Rubber Industry Association and the 2022 China Rubber Annual Conference were officially opened

Stabilize growth, promote transformation, and make every effort to enhance the international competitiveness of the rubber industry

This year is the most difficult year since the new crown pneumonia epidemic 3 years, the domestic epidemic situation is frequent, and the production and operation of the entire industrial chain of the rubber industry have been greatly affected

Xu Wenying, president of the China Rubber Industry Association, said that at present, China's rubber industry is in a new period of strategic opportunities and a new starting point for achieving carbon peaking and carbon neutrality

Shen Jinrong, senior vice president of the China Rubber Industry Association and chairman of Zhongce Rubber Group Co.

Lei Changchun, vice president and secretary general of the China Rubber Industry Association, explained in detail the current economic operation of

Lei Changchun suggested that enterprises in the industry take the initiative to strengthen communication with upstream and downstream, local governments and associations, and actively feedback on the difficulties and problems encountered; At the same time, the industry's leading enterprises should actively play an active role in stabilizing production and stabilizing the market, face many difficulties, effectively control costs, open source and reduce expenditure, do a good job in epidemic prevention and control and normal production and operation of enterprises, and strengthen coordination, tide over difficulties with suppliers and distributors, accelerate the pace of international development, make full use of domestic and foreign resources and two markets, and make every effort to enhance the international competitiveness

Wang Yuanhong, deputy director and chief economist of the Economic Forecasting Department of the State Information Center, predicted that in the second half of this year, China's economy will gradually return to the normal track, maintain a reasonable growth range, and strive to achieve the best results

China's rubber industry has entered a new era of intelligent manufacturing

According to the development goals proposed in the "14th Five-Year Plan" Guiding Outline of the Rubber Industry, during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, the rubber industry will adopt digitalization, intelligence, platformization and greening to achieve transformation through structural adjustment, scientific and technological innovation and green development, promote quality change, efficiency change and power change, and achieve higher quality, more efficient, fairer, more sustainable and safer development

Fan Rende, visiting professor of Qingdao University of Science and Technology, introduced the process of China's rubber industry entering a new era of intelligent manufacturing:

In 2014, China issued the "Research on the Development Strategy of China's Rubber Industry Power", which clearly put forward the strategic measures for intelligent manufacturing of the rubber industry and the roadmap

In 2016, a major breakthrough was made in the construction of smart tire factories, which was the beginning

In 2017, a number of tire companies have built smart factories

In 2018, the intelligent manufacturing of the rubber industry continued to advance steadily, the intelligent tire equipment continued to improve, and the software such as MES was deeply implemented, and the relevant standards for intelligent manufacturing in the rubber industry began to be paid attention to

From 2019 to 2021, the rubber industry intelligent manufacturing alliance, community and network platform have emerged, and a number of high-level intelligent equipment, such as tire building machines, have been put into production and application

The three major impacts of carbon tariff expansion on the chemical industry

Xin Chunlin, vice president of the China Institute of Industrial Carbon Neutrality of Beijing University of Chemical Technology, pointed out that China's carbon dioxide emissions will exceed 11.

Xin Chunlin said that the current carbon emission reduction in the rubber industry is imminent

In addition, Xin Chunlin also analyzed and pointed out five levels (steps) of carbon neutrality of enterprises:

The first is greenhouse gas emissions/carbon baseline accounting/certification

The second is scientific carbon target setting
.
The company/organization's scientific carbon target setting in line with SBTi; Company/organization carbon reduction strategy design; Creation of a company/organization greenhouse gas management system
.

The third is the design and implementation of the carbon emission reduction strategy of
enterprises.
Carbon neutrality at the corporate and activity levels through the purchase of carbon credits; Issuance of carbon neutrality certificates; Carbon credit asset procurement and management advice, green factory/park/supply chain services, etc
.

The fourth is carbon neutrality statements and information disclosure
.
Submit CDP carbon emission disclosure information and optimize ratings; Preparation of ESG reports and social responsibility reports in line with international standards such as TCFD; ESG ratings are upgraded and improved
.

Fifth, the supply chain is carbon neutral
.
Develop supplier disclosure requirements that meet carbon neutrality requirements; Carbon footprint accounting and verification of products and services; Creation and evaluation of green supply chain enterprises
.

In addition, the main forum of the conference also released the list
of "2022 China's Top 100 Rubber Industry Enterprises, Honest Tire Dealers, Honest Rubber Traders and Honest Rubber Industry Service Providers".

A total of 138 rubber industry enterprises were awarded the title of "Top 100 Enterprises in China's Rubber Industry in 2022"
.
Among them, 20 leading products are tires, 10 leading products are li tires, 10 leading products are conveyor belts, 10 leading products are hoses, 7 leading products are conveyor belts, 10 leading products are rubber products, 10 leading products are rubber shoes, 8 leading products are latex products, 10 leading products are carbon black, 5 leading products are recycled rubber and rubber powder, 10 leading products are rubber additives, 10 leading products are skeleton materials, and 7 leading products are rubber materials.
5 leading products are tire molds, and 10 leading products are rubber machinery
