Old-for-new implementation of two months old furniture recycling chain is still incomplete

Since the second implementation of the old-for-new project by the Beijing Municipal Commission of Commerce on July 1, it has been nearly two months since. Compared with last year's first pilot, this year there are different recycling methods and treatment methods for the recycling and utilization of second-hand furniture. Recently, the reporter visited some furniture sales companies and dismantling enterprises to understand the real flow of second-hand furniture. According to industry insiders, the recycling chain of second-hand furniture is still in the initial stage, and the processing and distribution channels of old furniture are not mature enough, and many aspects are still in the process of improvement.

Old furniture will be dismantled

Furniture trade-in activities have been implemented for nearly two months, and the issue of furniture recycling and final flow has been receiving much attention. The reporter learned that the biggest difference between the old-fashioned furniture replacement project and the last year is that all the requirements for recycling furniture should be dismantled and dismantled, and should not be sold as low-cost donations and second-hand furniture.

It is understood that last year, during the trade-in period of furniture, nearly 20,000 pieces of old furniture were recycled. Some of the second-hand furniture were donated or sold at low prices. However, the investigation found that this treatment method faces many hidden problems: direct disposal may cause environmental pollution and renovation May cause security issues. In order to prevent similar situations from appearing, this year's furniture replacement policy clearly stipulates that “recycling and dismantling enterprises shall dismantle the old furniture within the prescribed time limit in accordance with the requirements of environmental protection and fire protection, and ensure that the old furniture should be dismantled and dismantled. Loss."

Chen Liang, manager of the scrap business division of Beijing Renewable Resources Utilization Development Co., Ltd., said that the furniture shipped will be manually dismantled in the first time, producing glass, metal, foam fillings, wood sheets and other major materials. In general, pure wood has the value of reuse. Some wood of solid wood furniture is manually dismantled and then broken into strips for making various sheets such as large core sheets, MDF and sawdust sheets. The second-hand sheet furniture can only be manually dismantled and sent to relevant enterprises for incineration. After the metal and glass are recycled, they can be sent to the steel mill and the glass factory for re-smelting and reuse. The person in charge of Beijing Tianlong Tiantianjie Recycling Resources Recycling Co., Ltd. said that materials such as leather need to be handed over to the micro-hazard processing enterprises for processing.

Wang Ningning, deputy manager of the business management department of the Real Estate Group, believes that last year's treatment method was indeed somewhat unreasonable. Many consumers bought old furniture in the second-hand furniture market in order to obtain the qualification for trade-in, which caused the bad circulation of second-hand furniture. Yu Xiusu, vice president of the Beijing Furniture Industry Association, said that the government's policy is to help consumers better handle the idle furniture in their hands and solve the problem of recycling environmental protection. This year's second-hand furniture is directly dismantled and can directly control the flow direction, making it safer and more environmentally friendly.

Old furniture handles chaos

At present, how to deal with these old furniture that has been eliminated has become a problem for many families. In some old communities, the reporter found that some old abandoned furniture was thrown in the aisle or stacked directly next to the rubbish. A resident told reporters that "the person who collects waste is only willing to accept second-hand electrical appliances. Old furniture is generally not wanted. I don't know where to throw it. I can only put it downstairs to see if I can collect garbage. Take it by the way."

The reporter visited the second-hand furniture market in the two suburbs and found that the recycling traders of second-hand furniture only recycled second-hand furniture with good quality, and would not recycle the old furniture that affected the use. These traders generally recycle some old furniture that can be used normally and become newer in color. Manually clean the cloth and leather materials such as sofas (sofa decoration drawings), and then cover them with plastic film. The reporter saw that some of the recycled second-hand furniture was not cleaned in time, the surface was covered with dust, and the drawer was filled with a lot of dirt.

Liu Chun, head of the Beijing Jingwei Express Waste Electronic Equipment Dismantling Center project, said that many small traders were shocked by the post-processing of old furniture recycling, such as re-oiling some wooden furniture and re-washing some fabric sofas. In fact, consumers simply don't know what kind of fillers are filled in these sofas. Many refurbished sofas even carry germs and pollution. Such sales are extremely unsafe. Liu Chun said that many furniture and beauty industries now only carry out some simple repairs and renovations for reusable furniture. It is difficult to say whether there is qualification or not. If it is not professionally decontaminated and disinfected, it will be consumed after resale. The harm is very large.

■ “Renewal” interpretation

1 Dismantling the “uneven distribution” of the enterprise?

The reporter learned from the 7 furniture replacement and dismantling enterprises that the current second-hand furniture recycling situation is very different. In just two months, Beijing Huajingyuan Recycling and Recycling Market Co., Ltd., which won the bid last year, has received more than 3,000 second-hand furniture, while some dismantling companies have “not received one”.

Chen Liang, manager of the scrap business department of Beijing Renewable Resources Utilization Development Co., Ltd., said that although the number of cooperative furniture manufacturers has increased this year, so far, a piece of furniture has not been delivered to the cooperative home store. Chen Liang said that it may be because this year's activity is long, and it is still in its infancy. The person in charge of Beijing Tianlong Tiantianjie Recycling Resources Recycling Co., Ltd. also told the reporter that so far, the second-hand furniture sent by the recycling enterprises has not been received, which may be related to the transportation distance between the recycling enterprises and the dismantling enterprises. And now in the early stage of the event, the weather is hot, not the peak season of the furniture store, the sales of furniture is relatively small. The reporter learned that the company that did not receive second-hand furniture also had the Beijing Jingwei Express Waste Electronic Equipment Disassembly Center.

Wang Ningning, deputy manager of the business management department of the Real Estate Group, said that because the event does not require sales companies and dismantling companies to sign contracts, in general, the delivery personnel of brand manufacturers will adopt the principle of proximity. Last year, the cooperation between the various companies has achieved a good cooperation relationship. The delivery staff was familiar with the route of the dismantling enterprises in the delivery training last year. I still like to deliver the goods to the delivery process this year. Old customers".

2 Old furniture recycling costs are high

The reporter learned that for furniture recycling enterprises, the recycling cost of environmental protection enterprises is much higher than the market price, and the overall project implementation may be money-losing operations. For example, the value of a piece of furniture after dismantling may be a few dollars, but the value of labor, space, transportation, etc., which is spent inside, is tens of dollars.

Last year, the actual home used its second-hand furniture recycling site to participate in this activity. According to the statistics provided by the actual home, the rent and personnel of the accounting plant were calculated for the dismantling of the oldest sofa that was most time-consuming. After the cost, electricity and water charges are consumed, the cost of consumption reaches more than 10 pieces, but the cost of the sale is only 3 yuan. Wang Ningning, deputy manager of the business management department of the Real Estate Group, said, “Statistics is also the cost accounting for large-scale recycling. If the number of pieces is small, it is definitely more.”

The person in charge of Beijing Tianlong Tiantianjie Recycling Resources Recycling Co., Ltd. also stated that the recycling cost of old furniture is mainly transportation, renting space and labor costs. After the dismantling, the use value is handed over to the recycling enterprise, but some micro-toxic and micro-harm materials are handed over to the professional processing enterprise, and some processing costs will be incurred. Foam fillers, springs, sponges, etc. in the dismantling process of the sofa need to be classified, then compressed, bundled, packaged, etc., and handed over to different waste recycling enterprises. In this process, whether it is dismantling enterprises or recycling and recycling enterprises, this work is completely done as a social welfare thing, and basically does not generate any profit.

3 Recycling enterprise subsidy standards are not yet clear

The reporter learned that the furniture replacement subsidy is divided into two parts, the first is to subsidize consumers to trade-in, and the second is to dismantle subsidies for renewable resources recycling and dismantling enterprises. An industry insider said that last year, due to the lack of relevant subsidy policies for dismantling enterprises and waste recycling enterprises, one of the reasons for the waste recycling enterprises is not the bidding fee.

Yuan Along, director of the office of Beijing Huajingyuan Renewable Resources Recycling Market Co., Ltd., said that there was no subsidy for the dismantling enterprises last year. Therefore, the enthusiasm of the recycling enterprises is not very high, and only two recycling companies are willing to participate. This year, there is no bidding for the harmless treatment enterprises, and the dismantling enterprises need to find their own qualified and harmless treatment enterprises.

The reporter learned that this year's furniture trade-in projects still do not specify the specific subsidy standards for furniture replacement and dismantling enterprises. In the “Measures for the Implementation of the Old-for-News Reform in Beijing in 2013” ​​published on the website of the Beijing Municipal Commission of Commerce, Article 8 shows that “the specific standards for subsidies for the dismantling of old furniture are separately formulated”. In the interview, a number of dismantling companies have stated that in the end, the amount of subsidies is “standards are still being measured” and “finally may be subsidized according to the number of pieces of furniture received”.

â–  Distribution channels

Waste purchase refurbished

The reporter learned that the recycling of second-hand furniture is mostly recycled in the form of waste. Many of the furniture that renters need are basically from the second-hand market. The reporter contacted a person who delivered the goods in the old furniture market and learned that the recycling channels of many old furniture are layered. It is firstly recycled by people who collect waste products at a very low price, and then sold to the second-hand furniture market to profit from it. Second-hand furniture market vendors sell them after a simple treatment.

Problem: A lot of furniture in the flea market is not guaranteed in terms of product safety, but it is one of the ways most people trade second-hand furniture. The main source of tourists is that renters provide furniture to rental houses, as well as intermediary companies, North drifters, and those who like to buy goods.

Online shopping second-hand furniture

Some people who are more likely to do online shopping will conduct online transactions in second-hand furniture. The reporter searched for second-hand furniture on Taobao, showing 2,397 items, and 356 second-hand items in Beijing. The reporter randomly opened a phone call from a second-hand shop owner. The owner said that the furniture in the store is basically the first-hand goods of small manufacturers, but there are also second-hand furniture with good quality. The reporter saw that a 1,500-yuan three-door wardrobe in the store had 4 transactions in one month, and other wardrobes with about 600 yuan had 2 and 3 pieces respectively.

Question: Buying furniture on the Internet, goods in small manufacturers are difficult to guarantee in terms of quality. The source of tourists is generally renters, and the requirements for furniture hygiene are slightly higher, and people who require cheaper prices are required.

Personal second-hand furniture transfer

In the 58 city and the market, there are related second-hand furniture transfer information. The reporter searched for “second-hand furniture sales” in 58 cities. The result is more than 600,000. The transferred second-hand furniture is basically 90% new, and the goods need to be raised. Many waste recycling personnel often hang around here and resell profits by recycling used furniture.

Question: The transferred furniture basically only goes through one hand. If you can observe the other party's sanitary conditions and other factors, the problem is to pay the shipping cost yourself.

â–  Industry voice

Can strengthen legislation

●Zhao Ruihai, Chairman of Qumei Furniture Group

Furniture is huge, so storage is a big problem in furniture recycling. If this problem is to be solved, while expanding the furniture storage base, the furniture sales enterprise and the old furniture processing enterprise should also closely cooperate to further accelerate the circulation speed of the old furniture processing.

At present, domestic furniture recycling has just started, and many aspects still need to be improved. In order to make the recycling of old furniture more effective, every enterprise and unit related to the recycling of old furniture must treat this matter with a high degree of responsibility, and the state can also strengthen the legislation in this respect according to foreign countries.

Foreign consumers are more objective

●Liu Chunjie, spokesperson of Meikemeijia Furniture Chain Co., Ltd.

Foreign consumers are more rational and mature in their consumption of furniture, and tend to choose furniture that is more suitable for them. Therefore, this concept of consumption can make full use of the value of second-hand products.

As far as I know, foreign second-hand furniture circulation relies more on the flea market and the second-hand market. At the same time, there are also professional recycling companies to renovate some old furniture. The distribution channels of these second-hand furniture are relatively mature, and consumers will be more welcome. Trends and perceptions of second-hand consumption.
