With the continuous development of bathroom products, Sanitary Hardware has learned from the National Association of Industry and Commerce Hardware Association that at present, the related hardware industry associations (Association) will play an increasingly obvious role in strengthening industry self-regulation. The industry standard for pump valves and the industry standards for taps that have been formally introduced and will be implemented also place great emphasis on the research and development of energy-saving products. The relevant person in charge of the Chamber of Commerce stated that the National Association of Industry and Commerce’s Hardware Chamber of Commerce is accelerating the pace of self-regulation of the industry. One of the core elements of self-regulation of the industry is to guide and promote the development of the hardware industry in the direction of conservation. Luo Baihui said that from the status quo of the industry and the need for future development, the “Eleventh Five-Year Plan and Scientific Positioning of Hardware and Electrical Machinery and Die and Related Industries and Industrial Clusters, Industry and Commerce (Association)†will establish industry self-discipline in a conservation-oriented society. The era of hardware industry is gradually approaching
In recent years, China's molds, machinery, bearings, power tools and other industries have incorporated "saving (energy-saving, environmental protection) new product development and promotion into the "Eleventh Five-Year Plan". At the same time, relevant industry associations (Association) will also put “research and development and promotion of conservation-type products†on the agenda of their actively planned industry self-discipline planning. The Chinese hardware industry has gradually entered the “economy eraâ€.
The hardware industry is a typical resource-consuming industry. In the production process, a large amount of metal raw materials (including steel and non-ferrous metals) are needed, and at the same time, a lot of energy (including electricity, fuel, etc.) is consumed. In 2004, the total export value of the three major categories of tool hardware, construction hardware, and daily hardware reached 17.3 billion U.S. dollars. The export volume has surpassed that of Germany, the U.S., and other traditional hardware products export countries, accounting for the first place in the world. But this “laurel†is based on the premise of consuming a large amount of production resources in our country and a large amount of energy pollution, and relying on low-cost competitive advantages. At the same time, the export unit price of hardware products in China is only that of developed countries in Europe and America. One-tenth or even a dozen or so. In other words, using the same raw materials and consuming the same energy, our end product's value is only a fraction of that of others, if we want to create products with the same value as European and American countries. It takes several or even ten times more raw materials and energy consumption than others.
Statistics from the Machinery Industry Association show that the cost of energy for the production of mechanical and electrical products and raw materials accounts for about 70% of the cost of products. According to the data analysis, the energy consumption of mechanical and electrical products that consume more energy accounts for about 70% of the national energy use, and there is great potential for energy saving, water saving, and material saving. At the same time, more than 90% of the machinery industry is small and medium-sized enterprises. Its products are used in various fields such as production, construction, circulation, and consumption, and play an important role in resource conservation.
The Central Government's proposal for the formulation of the Eleventh Five-Year Plan for National Economic and Social Development pointed out that the development of a recycling economy is an important way to build a resource-saving, environment-friendly society and achieve sustainable development. Adhere to the development of equal emphasis on conservation, saving priority, in accordance with the principle of reduction, reuse, and resource, vigorously promote energy-saving water-saving festivals and materials, strengthen the comprehensive utilization of resources, improve the recycling system of renewable resources, and fully implement cleaner production, forming a low Investment, low-consumption, low-emission, and high-efficiency, energy-saving growth. Actively develop and promote resource conservation, substitution, and recycling technologies, speed up technological transformation of energy conservation and consumption reduction, and implement compulsory elimination of processes and products that consume high, heavy pollution, and technologically backward, and implement prices and fiscal taxes that are conducive to resource conservation. policy. In the key industries such as metallurgy, building materials, chemical industry, electric power, industrial parks and certain cities, pilot projects of circular economy will be carried out to improve laws and regulations and explore effective models for the development of circular economy. Strengthen the sense of conservation, encourage the production and use of energy-saving water-saving products, energy-saving and environment-friendly vehicles, develop energy-saving land-saving buildings, and form a healthy, civilized, resource-saving consumption model.
In the “Eleventh Five-Year Planâ€, the machinery industry will carry out key plans for energy-saving, water-saving, material-saving (saving) mechanical and electrical products, and guide the production, promotion and application of related products, eliminate high-energy-consuming mechanical and electrical products, and promote advanced technology. The high-efficiency, environmentally-friendly and energy-saving mechanical and electrical products were held in Changchun City, Jilin Province, where the National Bearing Industry 'Eleventh Five-Year' Planning Symposium brought together 107 representatives from 86 units in the national bearing industry and related industries. The bearing industry "great plan for development in the 11th Five-Year Plan. Everyone unanimously believes that the bearing industry needs to play an active role in building a conservation-oriented society and promoting the harmonious development of the economy and society. It is necessary to increase the technological content of the bearing industry and vigorously promote "saving technology." The production “saving products. Instrumentation industry “Eleventh Five-Year Plan work meeting also clearly pointed out that the instrumentation industry in the future for a long time, will focus on the development of energy-saving products. Energy conservation and environmental protection, and the formulation of regulations will further promote market development.
