Implement green manufacturing to achieve both economic and social benefits

"Made in China 2025" clearly puts forward the basic policy of "innovation-driven, quality-first, green-based". Green and intelligent, as the main direction of manufacturing transformation, have become the general trend and the trend. How to carry out technological innovation and system optimization, and integrate the concepts of green design, technology, production, management, supply chain, etc. throughout the entire product life cycle to maximize economic, ecological and social benefits?

Green manufacturing includes green design, green production, green packaging, and green use including products that are recycled. At the Xiamen Station of the CEConline Outsmart Future Export Series Forum, Wang Xiao, Chairman of Shenzhen Game Strategy Consulting Co., Ltd., fully demonstrated to the representatives of foreign trade enterprises participating in the conference how to implement green manufacturing and achieve economic and social benefits through practical cases. Double harvest.

Wang Xiao, Chairman of Shenzhen Game Strategy Consulting Co., Ltd. , pointed out in the forum speech that although green trade barriers have brought many negative impacts to Chinese export enterprises in the short term and forced enterprises to transform, their positive significance cannot be ignored, because the future market space for green products is huge, the sooner the layout is The greater the opportunity; and the concept of green manufacturing helps to promote the adjustment of the enterprise's product structure and promote the continuous progress of the enterprise's technology.

Green manufacturing is both a barrier and an opportunity

From the current point of view, the negative impact of green manufacturing on China's export enterprises is relatively obvious, and in the short term, it does weaken the competition of my country's export products enterprises force. Many companies have not paid attention to green manufacturing, and are unable to produce these good products. Some companies have been pushed by customers to make improvements in green manufacturing, but it is still difficult to achieve green products compliance, so it is virtually weakened. product competitiveness.

Secondly, green trade barriers reduce the economic benefits of exporting enterprises. In the past, a major feature of Chinese manufacturing is that the products are high quality and low price. Without any improvement and innovation, you may need to consume a lot of resources, and you don’t know what to do when the product is scrapped, which will reduce economic benefits.

Thirdly, Chinese enterprises participating in international market competition face unattainable technical standards and pay a huge price.

In addition, green manufacturing forces enterprises to make technological progress. If the green and environmental protection factors are not considered in the manufacturing process, the products cannot be responsible for the health and safety of consumers, and there is no need for product recycling. Considering that, after the product is exported to Europe, the inspection is unqualified, and it cannot even be scrapped on the spot. It must be shipped back to the place of origin.

Environment, resources, and population are some of the major problems we are facing now. The cost of development in the first 30 years is that China's ecological environment has been severely damaged. How to effectively use resources and produce the products we want with the least pollution to the environment is the problem we face. Therefore, green manufacturing is a very important link in sustainable development and corporate social responsibility.

Sustainable development is a very complex concept. In short, people want to survive and use good products, but they cannot affect our future generations.

The rise of the green wave has correspondingly opened up a vast green market for Chinese manufacturing enterprises, and green products are helpful for the adjustment of product structure. For example, mobile phone charging cables and sockets. In the past, each interface was different, and the charging cables and sockets were changed when the mobile phone was changed. Now, after the product has the concept of green design, the cables and sockets can be separated and reused, reducing waste.

Green Design

Green Design requires that the concept of green should be considered in every product design stage, so that the product can be better promoted and has higher value. In the past, we only considered the requirements of function, performance and cost when designing, but now we have to take into account the environmental requirements and user needs.

Green products must take environmental protection factors into consideration during the entire life cycle, from the design process to the production and use of raw materials to scrapping. For example, during the design process of Yuchai engine, attention was paid to how to adopt new technologies to make products more lightweight, optimize noise, and optimize fuel consumption.

Green product certification

First of all, there are blue angels in Germany, Japan and the European Union, all want our products to have a green mark including certification. China also has it, including a global, Nordic, and Energy Star logo on it.

When the product has the green product logo or certification, consumers will know that your product manufacturing process is green, your product is energy-saving and consumption-reducing, which will be very helpful for product sales. If it is not a green product, it will be gradually eliminated by the market in the future.

The concept of green products is very broad, mainly refers to products that have no harm to humans and the ecological environment throughout the life cycle or have relatively little harm, high resource utilization, and low energy consumption. This product is basically a green product. Including recyclable, low toxicity and low harm, low noise, water saving, energy saving and biodegradable. Shenzhen Airport is using recycled paper to reduce deforestation. This product is a green product, and its source of raw materials is a recyclable product, which is a recycled product to produce this kind of paper.

Green production

In many parts of China, it is called cleaner production, mainly for waste minimization, energy control, pollution prevention, etc. There are many examples in this regard, small and medium-sized enterprises including export enterprises can Do a lot of articles. The green manufacturing process includes two goals, three approaches, three contents, and two processes.

The first is resource-saving process technology. For example, saving water and electricity are all resources, and many small and medium-sized enterprises are aware that this is the general trend. For example, there are more and more electric forklifts in warehouses, which can also save resources.

The second is energy-saving process technology.

The third is environmentally friendly process technology. Such as reducing waste liquid, waste gas, waste residue, noise, etc.

For example, the waste heat of the air compressor can be recycled. The waste heat of the air compressor can be used to heat the bath water and save electricity. For example, do a good job in the recycling of water, because the production process of the steel plant uses a lot of water. If it is not recycled, the resource consumption is very large. After the water is treated and reused, the resource recovery rate can reach 90%, which reduces the cost for the enterprise.

This is a green production case. It is the first listed company in Henan. They recycle steam through some reactors, which can save 393 tons of standard coal every year. Commendation, to provide them with a lot of support policies. A company's green manufacturing can create value.

Green packaging

There are mainly 4R1D principles.

First, the principle of reduction is to reduce packaging as much as possible. Like the double lids on the packaging of Dongpeng Special Drink, it obviously violates the principle of packaging reduction and causes waste.

Second, the principle of reusability.

Third, the principle of recyclability.

Fourth, the principle of generating new value.

For example, the design of the packaging box, after the product is not used, the packaging box can also have other functions, which can be used as a container or something.

Fifth, the principle of degradability.

Nowadays, there is a charge for plastic bags in supermarkets, because they do not degrade, so we should use as little as possible. When we design product packaging, we have to take these 4R1D principles into consideration.

To achieve green packaging, on the one hand, we must reduce the packaging materials of the product, and on the other hand, make the packaging recyclable and recyclable.

Green use

The name of green use is sustainable consumption. On the one hand, natural materials should be used to make products, and on the other hand, products should not cause harm to the environment after they are scrapped, including paper bags. Green consumption includes sustainable small, including green manufacturing. We are now more and more proposing, and everyone will pay more and more attention. An example I will give you is the barbecue iron. Our children, younger than us, have to realize that we, as the key personnel of the enterprise, must pay attention to this.

Green Recycling

Apple's website is marked with product recycling services. Because mobile phones are generally discarded after 2-5 years of use, responsible companies will recycle the products and entrust some professional organizations to disassemble and dismantle the used products to avoid harm to the environment.

Huawei has done a good job in product recycling. There is a recycling program, which is promoted on the official website. In the product design, the detachable and recyclable parts are considered. Huawei's trade-in has entrusted a third-party partner who is qualified and capable of recycling used mobile phones, and they will do harmless treatment of the recycled products.

For example, Billionaires Chemical, from the input of raw materials to the export of raw materials to the production process, basically does not generate waste. The generated dust is used to make bricks and other materials, and basically no waste is generated. We can now do the same for some small and medium-sized enterprises to reduce the generation of waste as much as possible.

Some enterprises do not have the ability to transform themselves in technology, so they can sign an agreement with a third-party technological transformation company, and both parties agree to share the benefits brought by green manufacturing to the enterprise in proportion.

Communication is for understanding, understanding is for consensus, and consensus is for moving forward. The concept of green manufacturing helps us keep moving forward in the market. If the concept of sustainable development is used properly, the impact on the enterprise is very positive, and consumers will think that the enterprise is a responsible enterprise.
