Recently, a "green" wave began to spread in the Chinese tire industry. In the increasingly prominent contradiction between economic development and environmental issues, green and environmental protection have become new choices for the tire industry.
Take the Green Road
At the just-concluded " 2012 Automobile and Tire Industry Forum, " Ding Yuhua, chairman of the Triangle Group, called for: "The tire industry must take the path of a low-carbon economy and green manufacturing." He pointed out that enterprises should be based on economic responsibility, social responsibility and responsibility for environmental protection, and coordinate the development of the trinity to create a new productivity model for tire industry and information development.
According to the tire industry experts, for this traditional industry, increasing investment in high-performance, high-tech content, high value-added products and market launches, compressing and eliminating backward production capacity, and promoting industrial transformation are energy saving and environmental protection. The first step of the Green Road.
Determined the direction of development, some companies have begun to think about how to transform. Take Delta Group as an example. Some time ago, the company completely shut down its 34-year-old bias tire production line. This change was called by the industry as "a sounding horn for the domestic tire industry upgrade."
It is understood that Delta Group is committed to scientific and technological innovation, the development of a low carbon road, its investment in energy-saving technologies, a total of more than 1.5 billion yuan, energy utilization efficiency of 4% annual growth rate. The energy saving and emission reduction project has become the “green light†project that the company has invested in development.
In addition, during the product development and production process, the company also established a "green product" indicator evaluation system, and developed a series of "green product" development plans and transformation plans.
Start industrialization strategy
Under the trend of "green tires" industrialization, will "green" just become the concept of corporate hype? How to determine the definition of "green tire" and its quantification criteria? In response, Cao Chaoyang, chairman of Fengshen Tire Co., Ltd., expressed his concerns recently: “If there is no quantitative standard, after the proliferation of this concept, it will not be conducive to the healthy development of the industry.â€
It is reported that China's tire industry has promoted the industrialization of green tires and reached consensus recently. The China Rubber Industry Association will refer to the European Union's tire labeling law and REACH regulations, and in accordance with China's requirements for energy conservation and consumption reduction, formulate green tire industrialization regulations in line with China's national conditions.
The industry believes that this means that China's green tire industrialization strategy has officially started.
In terms of standardization, the Delta Group, a leading company in the domestic tire industry, has made many efforts. It is reported that based on the new grading standards established in developed countries for tire rolling resistance, wetland grip performance, abrasion, and noise, Delta Group has developed more stringent internal control standards to ensure that its products are “low-carbon and greenâ€. , environmental protection and high efficiency."
In addition, in October of last year, Delta's commercial vehicle tire series passed the US Environmental Protection Agency's SMARTWAY certification and was confirmed to meet its roll resistance performance requirements for the guide and drive wheels. It is a low rolling resistance tire. Through this certification, the triangular product has taken an important step in the global “green tire†field, and has also done a good demonstration for the entire domestic tire industry.
The entire industry chain needs to coordinate actions
According to relevant sources, the upgrading of tires' green industry is now not only a concern for tire companies, but the relevant agencies and tires should be dedicated to carrying out this work both upstream and downstream. It is reported that the China Rubber Association has prepared a green tire industrialization work program, in which the requirements for green tires show that the industrialization of green tires can not be completed solely by the tire industry, but also need to provide high-performance, green raw materials that meet the requirements.
This puts forward new requirements for the coordinated development of the entire tire industry chain industry.
In this regard, Cai Weimin, secretary general of the tire division of the China Rubber Industry Association, suggested that domestic tire companies and raw material manufacturers should conduct research and development together so that raw materials suitable for the formulation of tire companies can be targeted. "Cooperation between upstream and downstream companies will help optimize the allocation of resources and realize the localization of raw materials as soon as possible," he said.
China’s car ownership has reached 100 million vehicles, and its annual output has exceeded 18 million for two consecutive years. In the context of economic globalization, energy conservation, safety, and environmental protection are increasingly becoming the core of the global automotive industry revolution. Driven by this trend, tires are one of the important parts and components of automobiles, and the greening of their industries is a general trend.
