New environmental protection law in the home industry in 2018

The “severe winter” in 2017 made the home industry feel deeply. This kind of cold has been going on for a long time. Some small enterprises have fallen directly on the road. Everyone is asking how long they can persist. A lot of companies have already served, how long does this environmental protection have to be checked?

So will the environmental protection be so strict in 2018?

Strict, affirmative, and will become stricter. Then there are only two ways in front of the home industry:

(1) Turn right at an early date and get rid of it soon. Enterprises must complete the transformation, complete documents, and meet the standards of environmental protection. Not only will they not strictly check the enterprises, but they will even support the enterprises to become local models and achieve leading enterprises.

(2) Small enterprises that are currently incapable of capacity, without scale and scale, will be affected for a long time. If you want to not go out of business, you can only avoid the area of ​​strict investigation and transfer to the west. Or have funds to build factories overseas.

1. Multiple heavyweight environmental documents will come into effect in 2018

Why is environmental protection more stringent in 2018? It is reported that from January 1st, 2018, there will be a number of environmental laws and environmental protection programs will be officially implemented, let us take a look at what it is.

Environmental Protection Tax Law of the People's Republic of China

The "Environmental Protection Tax Law of the People's Republic of China" will be implemented on January 1, 2018. This is the first one-line tax law in China that specifically reflects the "green tax system" and promotes the construction of ecological civilization. At present, the taxable amount of environmental protection tax has basically been clarified. Standards, ready for levy. The environmental protection tax is implemented at a fixed rate, that is, multiple rows are overpaid, and fewer are paid less.

The difference in environmental tax burden will eventually lead to differences in product prices and production scales, which will force enterprises to transform and upgrade. After the environmental protection tax was levied, atmospheric and water pollutant discharge enterprises were the most affected. According to the requirements of the Environmental Tax Law, the tax amount of taxable atmospheric pollutants is 1.2 yuan to 12 yuan per pollution equivalent, and the tax amount of water pollutants is 1.4 yuan to 14 yuan per pollution equivalent.

"Eco-Environmental Damage Compensation System Reform Plan"

The "Reform Plan" stipulates that the compensation system for ecological environmental damage will be tried nationwide from January 1, 2018. Eco-environmental damage often has long-term and latent characteristics, especially the characteristics of easy pollution and difficult repair. Once many pollutions are caused, there is no way to completely repair the fines.

In view of this, the ecological damage compensation system has become an effective bottom-up measure. The purpose of piloting the compensation system for ecological environmental damage in the country is first and foremost to realize the need for damages.

Water Pollution Prevention and Control Act

On January 1, 2018, the newly revised Water Pollution Prevention and Control Law will also be officially implemented. Compared with the past, the "Water Pollution Prevention and Control Law" clarifies many specific work requirements.

For example, underground tanks such as gas stations should be required to use double-layer tanks or other effective measures such as construction of anti-seepage tanks, and prevent leakage monitoring to prevent groundwater pollution; and the new Water Pollution Prevention and Control Law has also been increased. The punishment for violations of the water environment has increased the fines on the basis of increasing consecutive penalties on a daily basis. For example, the fine for exceeding the standard and exceeding the total amount of the enterprise will be changed from “two times more than five times the amount of sewage charges” to “ten. More than 10,000 yuan and more than one million yuan."

Measures for the Management of Pollution Discharge Permits (Trial)

On November 6, 2017, the Ministry of Environmental Protection passed the “Measures for the Management of Pollution Discharge Permits (Trial)”. As a basic document to promote the implementation of the discharge permit system, the “Measures” is very important. It is necessary to conduct in-depth research and careful consideration of various regulations. Handle it with care and speed up the implementation. The implementation of the sewage permit system is of great significance for realizing the comprehensive discharge of industrial pollution sources and the implementation of air quality improvement targets in key areas.

It is necessary to serve the center's work, further increase the inspection and punishment of unlicensed sewage discharge and non-certified sewage discharge, increase the efforts to clean up and rectify illegal projects, and provide strong support for the completion of the central task.

2. The six “Inspectorate Bureaus” of the Ministry of Environmental Protection officially unveiled

The six regional inspectorate bureaus were “upgraded” by the former six regional environmental supervision and inspection centers of the Ministry of Environmental Protection.

After the approval of the Central Committee, the Ministry of Environmental Protection's North China, East China, South China, Northwest, Southwest, and Northeast Environmental Protection Supervision Centers were transferred from the institutions to the Ministry of Environmental Protection to send administrative agencies and officially changed their name to the “Inspectorate Bureau”.

A major new function of the “Inspectorate Bureau” is to undertake the relevant work of the Central Environmental Protection Inspector and further strengthen supervision. This also means that the central environmental protection inspector will become the norm.

The Law of the People's Republic of China on the Prevention and Control of Atmospheric Pollution stipulates that the production and sale of raw materials and products whose volatile organic compounds do not meet the quality standards or requirements will be confiscated of raw materials, products and illegal income, and the value of the goods will be more than doubled. The following fine. This regulation will directly affect many raw material manufacturers. Products that do not meet the requirements of environmental assessment standards will be withdrawn from the market, and related companies are also faced with the outcome of having to close their doors.

It is reported that furniture companies rank third in the traditional manufacturing industry. The release of volatile organic compounds during the production of furniture is mainly derived from coatings. According to data released by the China Coatings Industry Association, the total amount of volatile organic compounds emitted by the Chinese paint coating industry to the atmosphere is about 4.3 million tons per year, of which oil paint accounts for about 98%. The volatile organic compounds produced by the furniture industry are mainly benzene, toluene, xylene, formaldehyde, phenols, and are one of the sources of atmospheric pollutants. In addition, sawdust, dust, etc. in the production process also aggravate the pollution of the surrounding environment.

3. New changes after 4 months of implementation of the New Deal

After the promulgation of the new environmental protection policy, the first affected will be a large number of production and manufacturing companies, steel plants and plate manufacturers that are not up to standard. The production of raw materials is affected, the supply is in short supply, and the price of materials is bound to fluctuate. Not only the price fluctuations, but also many companies have quickly rectified, more efforts in product design and development, and even industrial transformation. This new change can generally be summarized in four points;

Price increased. Price is the most intuitive manifestation of the impact of environmental policy. Liao Zimeng, manager of TOTO bathroom retail department, said that many dealers have received the price increase notice issued by the manufacturers. The price of raw materials will increase by 25%-30% this year, and the manufacturers will have a 15% increase after the regulation. So the price of some furniture products will rise next year.

Enterprise production line upgrade. Because the country's requirements are strict, manufacturers are bound to adjust the product production line to better adapt to the environmental protection environment, that is, technological transformation. Wang Li, general manager of the US-based integrated stove, said. On the one hand, the drastic environmental protection policy has forced the furniture industry to reshuffle, stimulating enterprises to gradually adapt to the new environment, not to meet the standard production line, all raw materials replacement, increase investment and improvement of the production line, and increase investment in research and development. Enterprises that fail to meet the standards or are unable to rectify can only be eliminated by the industry if they cannot have the advantages of the product.

Product quality has improved. Wang Li said that although the environmental protection policy has affected the price, it also guarantees the quality of the product. The investment in production and R&D of enterprises has increased, and the quality of products is definitely more secure. The implementation of the "Technical Requirements for Environmental Labeling Products" issued by the Ministry of Environmental Protection this year puts forward requirements for environmental protection in the production process of furniture. The environmental label will be used to indicate the environmental attributes of the product, including wood furniture, metal furniture, plastic furniture, upholstered furniture, rattan furniture, glass stone furniture and other furniture and accessories. Having such a label means that the quality of the product is qualified, which is a good news for consumers under the environmental protection policy.

Product innovation and transformation. Hou Ming, general manager of Bintu Wooden Door, said that the stricter the requirements, the more the company must carry out product innovation and transformation, and the quality will not be shuffled. Paint and paint-free doors began to replace ordinary paint doors, making people more comfortable in environmental protection.

Since the launch of the “three major battles” of environmental protection, coupled with the normalization of the central environmental inspection tour. Therefore, in the future, environmental protection legislation will be a general trend. From a legal point of view, its overall framework will be more complete than related policies.
