Children's furniture manufacturers push: "Pseudo-environmental" material hazards

The reading: The concept of "environmental protection furniture" has been deeply rooted in people's hearts in recent years. Therefore, many businesses have launched the name of environmental protection and sold various related furniture and building materials products to the general public. Environmental protection is a good wish, but it is also a gimmick made by many manufacturers for profit.

Since the beginning of the 19th century, people's environmental awareness has been formed. In 1973, the State Construction Commission established the Environmental Protection Office and later changed it to the State Environmental Protection Administration. After the "two sessions" in 2008, the State Environmental Protection Administration was upgraded to the "Ministry of Environmental Protection" and implemented unified supervision and management of environmental protection throughout the country.

It seems that everyone is making a contribution to the cause of environmental protection, using waste water to flush toilets, go cycling, and raise a pot of green plants. Although environmental awareness may have always been there, the problem of environmental pollution on Earth has never completely disappeared.

In November 2016, Siberian winds did not patronize the land in the north, and many provinces in China were covered by severe haze. In a small town in Qian'an, Hebei Province, the exhaust gas discharged from steel plants is the daily life of town residents. The night of heavy smoke blew everything in the town into the dark night.

"Don't dare to live on the ground." The locals who have not yet moved have already moved their homes underground. There is no sunshine in the ground, but there is no such thing as on the ground. No matter whether it is day or night, it is “reaching out of your fingers”.

So far, the country’s annual output of building materials products has reached about 4 billion tons. Regardless of product varieties, quality and supporting levels, it has greatly improved and improved people's living standards. However, in the case of mass production and large bases, the development of the building materials industry is to a large extent achieved at the expense of energy and resource transitional consumption and environmental pollution.

According to calculations, China's building materials industry currently consumes more than 5 billion tons of raw materials each year, discharges 109.6 billion cubic meters of exhaust gas, discharges 35.5 billion tons of wastewater, and emits about 660 million tons of carbon dioxide annually from cement, lime, and traditional wall materials.

With the deteriorating ecological environment, the theme of environmental protection has been infinitely enlarged, and it has become the main brand of the building materials industry. The selling point and marketing ideas of building materials companies cannot be separated from the word environmental protection.

It can be said that the consciousness of environmental protection has been upgraded from an ideology to materialization and it has truly entered people's lives. The new type of environmentally-friendly building materials is the industry after the environmental protection.

Environmental protection is a good wish, but it is also a gimmick made by many manufacturers for profit. Some people are researching environmentally-friendly building materials in a down-to-earth manner, but there are also a lot of "pseudo-environmentally friendly" companies that have a lot of brains.

What building materials can be called true "new environmental protection building materials"?

The building materials industry is following a path of high energy consumption, high resource consumption, and high pollution. No matter how it is improved, it will always be difficult to avoid environmental pollution and ecological damage. However, by controlling the reduction of emissions, purifying emissions, and improving the process flow, the discharged pollutants can be quickly decomposed and purified through various forms.

Environmentally-friendly building materials are products that can be naturally decomposed by the environment. So, what is new environmental protection building materials?

New types of environmentally-friendly building materials can be summarized in three sentences: they can reduce energy consumption, improve the living environment, and can use industrial waste.

Reduce energy consumption: In the process of production and use, low-consumption materials are used instead of the traditional high-performance building materials, which can reduce the consumption of materials. Such as low formaldehyde emission, low energy consumption of large core boards, plywood, fiberboard and so on.

Use of industrial waste: Improve the use of raw materials for building materials, use industrial waste, such as slag, fly ash, silica fume, zeolite and other component materials that have been resource-resourced and high-performance, to achieve the effect of waste recycling.

Improve the living environment: Ensure that the material does not emit harmful substances such as formaldehyde, benzene, toluene, ethanol, and chloroform organic vapors, and has the function of improving the ecological environment of the home. Such as antibacterial, Deodorant, temperature adjustment, humidity control, shielding harmful rays of multi-functional coatings.

Of course, in addition to the above three types, it also includes natural materials that are non-toxic, harmless, low-toxic, and low-emission. Natural materials need to ensure that they do not have or contain very few toxic and harmful substances. They have only undergone simple processing and are more common in stone and wood.

The back of environmentalism is the banner of pseudo-environmentalism

Irving once said, "The only reliable criterion for truth is to be consistent forever." If a company wants to raise the banner of environmental protection, its products must fully comply with environmental standards.

The first step to product compliance with environmental protection standards is through the testing of the Environmental Protection Center of the State Environmental Protection Administration, through the production of relevant product testing reports or product production process data, etc. After rigorous verification and certification, it is determined that the product meets the relative environmental protection standards. Only then can the "China Environmental Label" be stamped, which is known as the "Ten Ring Certification."

The Shihuan Certification Mark is a “proven trademark” of the current environmental protection product. This mark has clear requirements on the technical process of the product, and it clearly stipulates the product's various indicators and testing methods.

The products that have been approved as “Ten Ring Certified” show that this product is not only of qualified quality, but also meets the requirements of environmental protection in the process of production, use, treatment and disposal. It is less poisonous and less resource-consuming than similar products.

In order to achieve profitability, some companies have not only replaced raw materials with cheap raw materials manufactured by small manufacturers that do not meet safety standards, but also used various means to falsify product inspection certificates. What's more, even ten-point certification marks can be used. Counterfeiting is directly attached to the products produced.

Non-environmentally friendly building materials are used in decoration, and the formaldehyde released from the room cannot be imagined. Formaldehyde has a strong genetic mutation, which can lead to a decline in human immunity. In more serious cases, it is possible that part of the body is cancerous and suffering from leukemia.

However, the road to environmental protection decoration is a long way to go, not to mention the identification of the authenticity of the decoration materials, even if all the houses are decorated with green materials, they will still detect the problem of serious poisonous substances and unpleasant smells. The so-called "pseudo-environmental" decoration.

How to identify true and false environmental protection building materials?

1, see certification

Any product should have a product name, implementation of the standard number, place of production, model, specifications, instructions for use. Well-known brands should be accompanied by national inspection-free certificates, brand-name certificates and Chinese well-known trademark marks. Any timber must have the ten-ring certification mark of green building materials of the State Environmental Protection Administration. Wooden furniture requires the certification of China Quality Certification Center CQC furniture.

2, see the report

Floors and furniture require inspection reports from authoritative agencies above the provincial level, and the inspection report must be issued by the quality inspection department at the place of sale. Wood lacquer must meet GB18581-2001 "indoor decoration materials, solvent-based wood coatings in hazardous substances limit." In addition, furniture must provide a product specification, which is mandatory.

3, see the grade

The formaldehyde emission of wood is the national standard E1, that is, the formaldehyde emission is 0.5mg/I~1.5mg/I; the E1 level environmental protection standard is the national mandatory health standard, and the wood below E1 level is the illegal production.

What are the pseudo-environmental building materials?

Pseudo-environmental one: "The interior wall paint can resist formaldehyde"

In recent years, some paint brands have launched "anti-formaldehyde" and "purified formaldehyde" products, which have actually attracted eyeballs. In some companies' promotional materials, "anti-formaldehyde" has become the main selling point, and merchants say coatings can be "innovated." New material technology effectively absorbs formaldehyde, benzene and even bacteria in the air.

In fact, some paints that use "innovative materials" as their selling point are often expensive. If you ask the sales staff about the extent to which they can be absorbed and whether there are specific data parameters, they will not clearly reply.

In fact, as early as 2015, the China Coatings Industry Association paid attention to consumption of “anti-formaldehyde” interior wall coatings and stated that “anti-formaldehyde” is an auxiliary function of the interior wall coatings of buildings and it is inappropriate to be promoted as the main selling point. of.

First, from the point of view of the coating itself after coating, the amount of thin film thickness that adsorbs or degrades formaldehyde is limited. The coating film in the solid state, the internal formaldehyde purifying agent can not migrate to the surface to play a role, only the formaldehyde scavenger on the surface of the coating film can come into contact with formaldehyde and play a role;

The second is that the formaldehyde purification performance of paints needs to be strengthened in terms of maintaining the timeliness. After the formaldehyde purifying agent on the surface of the coating film fails to adsorb or degrade formaldehyde, no new auxiliary agent is added.

Pseudo-environmental II: "Tile can achieve complete anti-bacterial and health care"

Ultrafine powder, polycrystalline powder, cosmetic earth ... In the tile store, "healthy" tiles have become the "star" products in the market. Titanium metal tiles relieve fatigue, negative oxygen ions glaze tile health care, super-crystal jade tiles antibacterial No radiation... The salesman’s words support the high prices behind them, but most of the time, salespeople cannot explain how these functions are achieved.

In fact, most of the so-called innovative features are product packaging. If the manufacturer has already produced ceramic tiles containing health care functions, it needs constant testing to determine if the quality of the indoor air before and after the installation of the tiles has improved, and a large number of experiments are required. Finally, a trustworthy test report can be obtained to prove it. Health care function.

Moreover, most antibacterial products do not eliminate indoor bacteria. Simply speaking, they mean inhibiting the growth and development of microorganisms so that they will no longer increase in number, but they will only act as inhibitors and will not reduce microorganisms. Or disappear.

Pseudo-environmental three: "Particle board is a new environmental protection material"

In recent years, panel furniture has been favored by consumers. However, because small manufacturers often produce MDF, particle board, etc. that do not meet the standards, panel furniture has also become the source of indoor pollution. Some young consumers have a strong sense of environmental protection. When they purchase furniture products, they deliberately avoided the products of this type of material, so they chose the “granule board” and “grain board” with more environmental slogans.

In fact, the particle board is the medium density board, and the particle board is the particle board. If the manufacturer does not meet the standards in the production process, it will not only fail to achieve the effect of environmental protection, but it may cause the user to feel at ease, and thus does not carry out window ventilation, resulting in more serious consequences.

Pseudo-Environmental Protection 4: "Tastelessness does not equal true environmental protection"

"You smell, there is no pungent taste at all." Many manufacturers will let customers personally smell when they are selling products, is there an unpleasant smell. However, judging whether the furniture and materials in the home are environmentally friendly, it is unscientific if the smell alone is strong. Some of the major poisonous and harmful gases that cause indoor pollution are odor and some are odorless.

Indoor pollution consequences

In fact, the general air pollution is more than 4 times more than the standard will make people feel intuitive. At the same time, many harmful gases will be released only when the humidity and temperature reach a certain level. After the renovation, there is no odor to achieve "environmental protection." Not only deceive consumers, but also blinded the conscience as a business.

Conclusion

The concept of “environmental protection home” has been deeply rooted in people's minds in recent years. Therefore, many businesses have launched the name of environmental protection and sold various related furniture and building materials products to the public. Some people even used this to raise prices.

At present, there are many “environmental protection households” on the market, and the authenticity of “environmental protection households” is not only on the test report, but also on the integrity of the company.

In fact, truly low-carbon and environmentally-friendly products must run through the concept of environmental protection from the beginning to the end of the results, including the purchase and processing of raw materials, transportation during production, and disposal after product disposal.

If only the terminal is energy-efficient, this is not a true green product. Therefore, to identify whether a product is an environmentally friendly product, consumers should measure it from all directions and do not blindly believe it. Enterprises should not blindly choose small manufacturers to produce processed products, leading to their own environmental protection products become the source of pollution.
