The cost of water-based paint instead of oil-based paint has risen by 15%. How can you make more money?

　Volatile organic compounds are one of the main "contributors" to ozone pollution and PM2.
5 pollution.
The chemicals, coatings, solvents and other industries are the main manufacturers of volatile organic compounds and the main targets of Shanghai's ecological environment management in recent years.
The reporter learned from the Shanghai Municipal Bureau of Ecology and Environment that since the first round of central environmental inspections, Shanghai has completed the governance tasks of more than 2,300 volatile organic compound emission companies, and the volatile organic compound control work has made phased progress.
Either meet the emission standards, or shut down and transfer.In the Jinshan District where chemical, printing and dyeing, coatings, electroplating, auto parts, furniture, packaging and printing industries gather, volatile organic compound pollution was once a "stubborn disease" in the field of ecological environmental governance.

During the environmental protection inspection conducted by the Central Environmental Protection Supervision Group in Shanghai, Jinshan District received a total of 18 letters and visits involving volatile organic compounds pollution, which mainly reflected the unorganized emission of volatile organic compounds by related enterprises or the failure to set up and operate related pollution control facilities in accordance with regulations.
And other issues.
Either meet the emission standards, or shut down and transfer.
Thefurniture industry is a high-incidence industry of unorganized emissions of volatile organic compounds.
A
large number of problematic enterprises are shut down and transferred after heavy enforcement.
Up to now, 40% of the 170 key volatile organic compound emission companies identified by Jinshan District have been shut down or relocated; in order to "survive", the remaining companies have made every effort to improve production processes or enhance environmental protection treatment capabilities to achieve emission standards.
At the same time, Jinshan District also implements a system of "approving projects and nuclear totals", prohibiting new projects as an excuse to increase volatile organic compounds emissions.

　　Luo Mushun, vice president of production and supply chain of Nippon Paint (China) Co.
, Ltd.
, said that the relevant national standards that began to be implemented in July this year have become stricter, and the upper limit of the allowable emission of non-methane total hydrocarbons from enterprises in key areas is 120 mg/m3.
Reduced to 60 mg/m3, and according to relevant local standards in Shanghai, this limit is further compressed to 50 mg/m3.
For this reason, Nippon　　furniture industry is a high-prone industry of fugitive emissions of volatile organic compounds.
Industrial coatings.
Industrial coatings.
(Shanghai) Co.
, Ltd.
invested more than 50 million yuan to upgrade the original environmental protection treatment facilities.
Since the trial operation of the facility in November 2018, the emission concentration of non-methane total hydrocarbons has been limited to less than 30 mg/m3.

　　"Environmental stewardship" helps companies transform and upgrade.

　　In addition to using rigid measures to force them, Shanghai has also adopted various guiding measures to help companies transform and upgrade.
Zhou Jun, director of the Atmospheric Environment and Climate Change Division of the Municipal Bureau of Ecology and Environment, said that Shanghai has issued special measures to provide special subsidies for the detection and repair of volatile organic compounds, terminal treatment and online monitoring projects carried out by enterprises.
Up to now, a total of 238 million yuan of subsidy funds have been issued, encouraging a large number of companies to dare to increase investment in environmental protection facilities.
For companies that have achieved significant governance results, Shanghai has also introduced a tiered volatile organic compound pollution discharge fee policy, and companies with low emissions can enjoy a "preferential" pollution discharge fee.
　　"Strict law enforcement requires a'helping hand' at critical moments.
" Zhao Wei, deputy director of the Fengxian District Ecological Environment Bureau, said that after finding out the problematic pollutant enterprises, Fengxian District invited experts to conduct intensive training for the enterprises and encourage the enterprises to make their own preparations.
"One plant, one plan", the plan is reviewed by experts before governance, so as to avoid the enterprise's random governance, excessive governance, wasting time and money.
In addition, Fengxian District is actively constructing a three-level "environmental protection butler" service system for districts, towns (parks), and enterprises to comprehensively improve the level of environmental management.

　　"Environmental protection housekeeper" helps enterprises to transform and upgrade 　　the exhaust pipe on the top of the furniture factory.
The treated organic waste gas is discharged through the "chimney mouth" to meet the standards.

　　"At the beginning, experts suggested improving the process to reduce emissions.
For this reason, the production cost should be increased.
I still have a little Ideas, thank you, it’s too late!" Zhou Weijian, general manager of Minqi Wood Industry, said that the volatile organic compounds produced by the company’s manufacturing and processing furniture have been difficult to meet the emission standards.
After all the water-based paints have replaced the oil-based paints, it has become much easier to meet the standards.
Although this will increase the production cost by 15% to 20%, the sales of the products have increased sharply because of the "less pungent taste", and it has also opened up high-end markets with higher environmental protection requirements.

　　Environmental protection, Shanghai is really moving.
