Under the heavy pressure of environmental protection, textile printing and dyeing enterprises face dilemmas
Currently, three rounds of national environmental inspections have been conducted across the country, and their popularity continues. At the same time, provincial, municipal, county and multi-level environmental protection inspections are carried out in all areas. Under the heavy pressure of environmental protection, wherever the storm struck, including in the fabric printing and dyeing industry, large-scale enterprises were cut off from water, power and production. Workers were suspended and unemployed, and family livelihoods were worried! It feels a bit like mourning all over the country. In Sanhe City, Hebei Province, some business owners and employees even held banners to protest!
Some fabric company owners lamented: There is nothing wrong with strict environmental protection inspections. However, under the current circumstances of reducing production capacity and soaring raw materials, the casual and one-size-fits-all approach to environmental protection has gradually changed. A massive “defend the blue sky” Action” has become the cry of countless private enterprises. We fear every morning when the sun rises, police cars, law enforcement vehicles, even plainclothes vehicles, and even drones will be deployed outside the factory.
Small and medium-sized fabric companies have stopped production on a large scale, are losing their jobs, and public resentment is boiling!
Many small and medium-sized fabric business owners have all their wealth tied up in the factory, while countless workers are burdened with huge pressures on mortgages, car loans, family support, and retirement. The government has adopted a one-size-fits-all approach to rectify many non-polluting industries. Businesses were also forced to close, and even small shops that made tofu and breakfast were closed. For a while, public dissatisfaction arose.
Some companies said:
The environmental protection management advocated by the government is in line with the actual people’s livelihood, but enterprises must be guided to make reasonable and orderly reforms, and the people cannot be allowed to see people from government departments entering the village like devils. Which chemical companies, large and small, do not have their doors locked now!
It cannot be said that it is the fault of the manufacturer. Some law enforcement officers are really barbaric. They do not have the right to speak. The environment needs to be sorted out. That also needs a process, right?
Policies must have continuity. Today there is a policy, waiting for you to invest in rectification; tomorrow there will be another policy, and the last rectification will no longer work! Each department is the same, and no one dares to express their position. For the sake of their own shame, we will do whatever the superiors say, just “close”! In fact, it’s just laziness and inaction!
Some private enterprises feel they have been treated unfairly, saying:
When the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region is polluted, the surrounding areas will be treated, just like the human body. Delicious food is enjoyed by the mouth, and diseases are shared by other organs.
They are all using chicken feathers as arrows. So many large-scale polluting enterprises, such as chemical plants, thermal power plants, steel plants, etc., are ignored and only focus on private enterprises. What is the intention?
If you want to protect the environment, you must start from the source. Don’t burn coal. Close the coal mines, stop the cigarette factories, and kill PetroChina and Sinopec. Taking Tianjin as an example, thousands of small and micro chemical companies in various districts have closed down, and how many people have lost their jobs? Which level of government or department has ever thought about what to do with their lives?
Some corporate employees also expressed deep concern:
The land has been transferred and the factories have been closed down. I don’t know what tomorrow will be like for the people. How will their children go to school, the elderly be taken care of, and even basic food and clothing be provided?
If this governance continues, society will become even more chaotic. How many factories and companies have been closed, and how many workers have been laid off. Children need to go to school, and parents need to be well-raised. What should we do?
Nowadays, self-employed small businesses are basically people born in the 1970s and 1980s. They are responsible for the livelihood of three generations of a family. How can we live in such a one-size-fits-all manner?
In fact, many private enterprise bosses have also criticized this kind of environmental protection storm that is branded as “one size fits all, casual”. A frustrated business owner said:
In November last year, the Environmental Protection Bureau claimed that coal-fired boilers must install filtering devices to ensure that white smoke comes out of the chimney, and that they must first pay a fine of 50,000 yuan. When handling the environmental impact assessment report, when people are nervous He spent more than 200,000 yuan in one month to complete the environmental assessment and the modification of coal-fired boilers, but the environmental protection department claimed to limit production.
By February this year, the country held a general meeting and required all industrial power-using enterprises to suspend operations.Implement policies accurately and create a good management and control orientation.
The Xinhua News Agency article believes that drawing lines by industry, setting boundaries by region, and implementing “one size fits all” environmental protection control are simple and trouble-free methods that are also very effective in mitigating sudden haze climates. However, in order to promote the coordinated development of environmental protection and economy, and to launch a protracted and tough battle to control air pollution, the measures need to be further improved.
Good environmental management and control measures are the benchmark for enterprise transformation and upgrading. It is necessary to strictly implement national environmental protection standards to guide and promote enterprises to eliminate backward processes and production capacity to achieve clean production and meet emission standards. We will give strong support to enterprises that meet environmental protection standards to promote their healthy development and seize market opportunities; companies that do not meet environmental protection standards must be resolutely rectified and promoted to transform and upgrade, otherwise they will be shut down. If the same control measures are implemented indiscriminately, it will be difficult to achieve the effect of survival of the fittest.
Many places have put forward the “goal of ensuring more than half of good climates in a year”, which is naturally a good thing. However, without changing the production methods of high-energy-consuming, high-pollution enterprises, without coordinated regional governance, and without strict supervision and accountability, it may be a luxury to hope to achieve a fundamental improvement in air quality.
Everyone has a responsibility to control air pollution. The public must participate, enterprises must take responsibility, and government governance departments have even greater responsibilities. They must not only have mid-term goals and short-term goals, but also reward the good and punish the bad. Specific measures will be taken to prevent the reverse elimination of “those who fail to fulfill their responsibilities will be lenient and those who fulfill their responsibilities will be severely punished”.
How should companies respond to environmental protection inspections?
Contents usually checked during environmental inspection:
1. Enterprise production status
The industry and main products of the company
Last month’s products and production capacity, and whether each line is in operation. Whether the business owner is constructing illegally and whether the environmental impact assessment is consistent. Are there any new pollutants such as waste gas, waste water, and solid waste?
2. Implementation of corporate environmental protection
Whether the project has carried out environmental impact assessment procedures in accordance with the law, check the environmental impact assessment documents and environmental impact assessment approvals, etc. (Environmental law enforcement officers or inspectors come to the enterprise or the Environmental Protection Bureau to check the environmental impact assessment documents), check whether the project site pollution control measures are generally consistent with the environmental impact assessment), and whether the environmental impact assessment documents (environmental impact assessment public counselor) involve fraud. (Attention! The two high environmental protection judicial interpretations on the penalties for environmental fraud: Environmental impact assessment agencies or their personnel intentionally provide false environmental impact assessment documents, the circumstances are serious, or they are seriously irresponsible, and the environmental impact assessment documents issued contain major inaccuracies. If serious consequences are caused, he shall be convicted and punished for the crime of providing false certification documents or the crime of issuing certification documents that are materially inaccurate in accordance with the provisions of Articles 229 and 231 of the Criminal Law.)
Check whether the nature of the project, production scale, location, production process adopted or pollution control measures adopted are consistent with the environmental impact assessment and approval documents. If the project starts construction five years after the environmental impact assessment is approved, should the environmental impact assessment be re-approved?
Check whether environmental protection completion acceptance has been carried out after the project is put into operation. Whether the environmental protection completion acceptance procedures are complete. Whether the enterprise’s pollution control facilities have been put into production without acceptance by the environmental protection department.
Production workshop: Whether the floor of the workshop where the raw materials or raw materials are involved in acid, alkali, or other corrosive materials should be treated with anti-corrosion treatment and be maintained regularly. Is there any leakage or leakage during the production process?
