Coatings First, solvent-based coatings collection consumption tax policy
The Ministry of Environmental Protection, the Ministry of Finance and the General Administration of Taxation plan to control and control the VOC of China's coatings and coatings industry through consumption tax. Communication with the Ministry of Environmental Protection, the Ministry of Finance and the General Administration of Taxation and the preparation of relevant materials to reflect the industry's demands, the final imposition of a consumption tax on coatings policy is: no consumption tax on all solvent-based coatings, high solids coatings are exempted. According to the latest draft of the Ministry of Finance for comments, the tax is levied on paint manufacturers, the consumption tax rate has been determined to 4% (at ex-factory prices), coating VOC content of more than 420g/L unified according to this tax rate. In addition, the State Administration of Taxation is studying the development of specific taxation schemes, including the collection of licensing processing and coatings, etc.Ii, the formulation of the pilot scheme for volatile organic sewage charges
The Ministry of Environmental Protection and the Ministry of Finance jointly carried out the pilot of VOC sewage charges, including petrochemical refining, packaging printing, industrial coating three industries. Industrial coating involves the coating process carried out by an industrial production enterprise or operator in the process of producing or repairing industrial products. Upon learning of this situation, the China Coatings Industry Association proposed to set up starting points in key areas such as automobiles, containers, furniture, ships and coils to encourage the application of environmentally friendly coatings, after which the starting point was changed to an incentive policy (measured at 80 per cent). In addition, as an important basis for charging fees, voC definition has been the subject of much attention. The provisional definition in this scheme is that at 101325Pa standard atmospheric pressure, the initial boiling point is less than or equal to 260 degrees C, in the form of gaseous molecules discharged into the air of all organic compounds (excluding methane). China's VOC definition is numerous, for the relevant policy formulation and implementation of obstacles, so from the relevant parties understand that the Ministry of Environmental Protection has begun to unify China's VOC definition. The VOC definition of this pilot scheme may be changed to a uniform definition.
funds from sewage charges will be set up to encourage environmental governance. Among them,
water-based wood coatings
developed by environmental leaders. It has been determined that subsidies will be provided to
"painting enterprises
(wood furniture manufacturers) that purchase water-based
wood coatings" from environmental leaders, with a subsidy intensity scheme as a percentage of the selling price. The subsidy will come from the state-imposed "VOC sewage charges" and will be managed by the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Environmental Protection is responsible for the distribution of local responsibility, the China Coatings Industry Association will be involved as a project participant in the work.3. National environmental public welfare project "Research on the limits and control pathways of volatile organic matter in building coatings
China Coatings Industry Association, in cooperation with the Beijing Academy of Environmental Protection Science and the Planning Institute of the Ministry of Environmental Protection, successfully applied for the 2014 National Environmental Protection Public Interest Project "Research on the Limits and Control Pathways of Volatile Organics in Construction Coatings", covering areas including

,
external wall coatings and coatings in buildings
.
Waterproof coatings
,
fire-resistant coatings
and so on, the project situation is as follows:
project objectives: to master the types and use of building coatings in china, the establishment of volatile organic products VOC content detection and analysis methods, determine the VOC content limits of various types of building coatings, the preparation of building coatings VOC content standards and pollution prevention and control technical guidelines, optimization and formulation of building coatings environmental marker product standards, proposed various types of building coatings environmental marker product standards, From the point of view of product use to guide the industry VOC governance concept and technology promotion, for China to carry out other types of volatile organic products control to provide reference.
project main research content: (1) to carry out domestic construction paint types and use of industry research and market research, master the pollution characteristics of different types of architectural coatings; Technical guidelines for prevention and control; (4) combined with the assessment of the current situation of domestic production processes and technologies containing building-type coatings, determine the VOC content limits of various types of construction-type coatings, prepare standards for the content of volatile organic matter in building-type coatings, formulate and revise standards for environmental marking products for building-type coatings, (5) investigate foreign policies, regulations and standards in the management of products containing volatile organic matter, and propose the control degree of volatile organic matter pipes for all types of construction-type coatings.
4. The comprehensive remediation plan for surface-coated volatile organic matter
and the national public welfare project "Research on the emission characteristics of volatile organic matter from industrial coating pollution sources and countermeasures for prevention and control" are in cooperation with each other, and the Ministry of Environmental Protection is working on the formulation of comprehensive remediation plan for volatile organic matter in areas such as coating. The objective of the program is to solve the outstanding problems such as backward surface coating VOC pollution control technology and equipment, inefficient operation of pollution control facilities, lagging capacity-building of environmental management and monitoring, and serious VOC pollution in some regions through this rectification. Basic completion of automobile manufacturing and maintenance, furniture manufacturing and other key industries VOC pollution control, complete a number of VOC control projects, to find out the surface coating VOC emission status, establish and improve the surface coating VOC emission control system, VOC emissions further decreased, the regional environmental quality significantly improved. Local environmental protection departments shall, in accordance with the objectives of the work of this program, formulate a plan for the implementation of VOC emission reduction for surface coating in each jurisdiction for all enterprises in the jurisdiction that have surface coating processes, including automobile manufacturing and maintenance, furniture manufacturing and other industries. Highlight the key points, complete the task of surface coating VOC pollution control in stages, establish and improve the surface coating VOC monitoring system, ensure VOC efficient purification, and effectively promote emission reduction.
affected by this, local environmental protection departments are given greater responsibility and power to deal with the surface coating VOC within the jurisdiction, will have a greater environmental pressure on coating enterprises. Policy-making ministries have noted that paint production enterprises in the industrial chain are relatively weak coating enterprises, so the environmental protection requirements of paint production enterprises are difficult to conduct to the downstream coating industry. The adoption of strict control coating industry policy means to make environmental pressure to paint production enterprises, forced paint products to environmentally friendly products transformation, has become the consensus of relevant policy-making ministries.5. The Law of the People's Republic of China on the Prevention and Control of Air Pollution solicits opinions
In September 2014, the Legal Affairs Office of the State Council issued a public consultation on the Law of the People's Republic of China on the Prevention and Control of Air Pollution (Revised Draft for Comments), which includes:
The competent department for standardization under the State Council, together with relevant departments such as environmental protection under the State Council, formulates product quality standards for volatile organic matter such as coatings and clarifies environmental protection requirements. If it does not meet the environmental protection requirements, it shall not be manufactured, sold or imported.
and service activities that produce emissions containing volatile organic matter shall be carried out in confined spaces or equipment, and pollution prevention and control facilities shall be installed and used in accordance with the provisions; If it cannot be closed, measures shall be taken to reduce emissions.
industrial coating enterprises shall establish ledgers to record the use of raw materials, accessories, waste quantities and where to go and the contents of their volatile organic matter.
industrial coatings should use coatings with low volatile organic matter content. The state encourages the purchase and use of paints with low volatile organic matter content through tax incentives and other measures.
The competent department of environmental protection under the State Council, together with the competent department of economic comprehensiveness under the State Council and the competent department of industry and information technology under the State Council, shall publish a list of products with high pollution and high environmental risk.
