Energy Consumption Is "Overrated". What Should Shoe Manufacturers Reflect On?

It is learned that the International Energy Agency has announced that China surpassed the US in 2009.

Global

The first big energy consumer.

China's Energy Bureau immediately responded that the data was not credible.

But on the contrary, if we can no longer get rid of the current situation of high energy consumption, China will become the world's largest energy consuming country. It's only a matter of time.

For example, the footwear industry as a traditional system.

Manufacturing industry

The situation of relying on coal and petroleum energy can not be changed for a short time. The index of energy consumption is also worrying. Now, energy consumption is "overestimated". What should shoe manufacturers want to reflect on?

In fact, human beings are overqualified.

Emission is the most important impact on the environment. Energy conservation and emission reduction is the most important way to protect the earth's environment. As a mainstay of labor-intensive industries, shoemaking enterprises should fully demonstrate the execution of environmental protection in this joint view. This is also the most favorable argument for proving that "the largest energy consuming country in the world" is a false proposition.

Footwear enterprises should start from every aspect of the operation and actively advocate the environmental protection concept of energy conservation and emission reduction. We are pleased to see that many shoemaking enterprises have gradually taken green production as the primary task. By setting up strict production standards, technological processes and ensuring first-class quality, we will adopt environmentally friendly, low carbon, non-toxic, recyclable materials to achieve high quality and low pollution output of products, and use advanced science and technology and innovative design concepts.

At the same time, in the use of organic, pollution-free materials, has begun to choose to fully decompose, to reduce pollution materials.

For example, the adhesives used for vulcanized shoes are mainly solvent products. They use toluene and other volatile organic compounds (VOC) as solvents. The organic compounds in these solvents will directly volatilize into the air and pollute the environment in the process of shoemaking, which will endanger the health of workers. Some solvents may even be carcinogenic toxic and harmful substances. Some adhesives also contain "three benzene" substances, resulting in waste of resources, serious environmental pollution and direct contact with health hazards.

Nowadays, the water-based adhesives used in the shoe making industry, which are volatilized into the environment during the whole shoemaking process, are not harmful to human health and environment, and are environmentally friendly products.

Therefore, the use of water-borne adhesives instead of solvent based adhesives is an inevitable trend.

It is true that the theme of "low carbon and environmental protection" has attracted the attention of all walks of life in recent years. This has also brought new challenges to the shoe enterprises in the process of high energy consumption and high pollution.

Under the guidance of Scientific Outlook on Development, shoe enterprises should vigorously adjust their economic structure and pform their economic growth mode, and actively explore new ways to maintain economic growth and ease the pressure on resources and environment, strictly fulfill the international responsibilities of energy conservation and emission reduction, and strive to promote global low-carbon development.
