China plastic association urged the industry to strengthen the plastic pipe branch of rectification, stop using recycled materials and lead stabilizers production drinking water pipeline.
As the government quality inspection to the public and media coverage will plastic pipe industry focus, can branch launched on April 1 for member enterprise self-discipline rules, including explicitly banned in drinking water use of recycled plastic and bribe to get the order.
The association announced the plan at the annual meeting. , CCTV has exposed the producers can use recycled materials to produce bad drinking water.
Headquarters is located in Shanghai, said at the meeting of the China association of urban water supply and drainage, recently the local government also took the survey aimed at the plastic tube.
Anhui province water management institution, for example, in July 2013, the survey found local 42 potable water PE pipe production enterprises, there are 10 products not up to standard. Review the supplier of plastic pipes in March, zhejiang province, found that only 10%.
For the first time, the association said last year, China's health department review has been carried out on the plastic pipe manufacturers, examined more than 150 plastic pipe manufacturer. It shows that the public's health and water pollution is becoming more and more attention.
On April 1-3, to be held in kunming, yunnan China plastic association annual meeting, the plastic pipe branch of environmental issues and industry self-discipline became the theme of the conference to discuss.
Secretary general zhan-jie wang criticized the enterprise improper use of recycled materials to cut costs, this kind of behavior the whole industry into disrepute.
Some illegal phenomena, he said, has been in the media exposure, the extremely bad public impression with plastic pipe industry. People think that plastic pipe toxic.\"
Some members said, the use of inferior materials phenomenon is relatively common in small businesses, they said large companies more responsible use of materials.
The association says the new industry self-discipline plan will include promotional activities, to enhance the image of plastic piping.
Zhan-jie wang said the self-discipline rules with enforcement methods. Association will be subject to receive complaints to investigate relevant enterprises and give a warning, when necessary, cancel the unqualified enterprises membership.
Although the plastic industry for the spontaneous self-discipline rules very seriously, but this method has its limitations, such as its role is limited to member companies.
The association, estimates there are currently 6000-10000 plastic pipe manufacturers, of which only about 400 joined the association. But it stressed that the 400 companies accounted for 70% of China's plastic pipe production.
Zhan-jie wang said to non-members enterprise also can sign of self-discipline.
Speakers called for the government to strengthen the supervision, but zhan-jie wang believes that there is no sign that the government plans on a large scale industry consolidation, like last year's \"hedge\" action against plastic recycling industry.
The director of the China's urban water supply and drainage association of zheng \"plastic news\" interview, said the government should take more drastic measures to punish illegal enterprises use recycled materials in drinking water.
He think the problem can be resolved, the public's attention and the discussion is helpful to solve the problem.
The meeting also discussed other material related problem.
China plastics processing industry association said Qian Guijing, plastic industry needs more \"self-discipline\" on the production side, and urged industry enterprises not to use lead as a stabilizer of PVC pipes.
Zhan-jie wang said, branch of cooperation with enterprises, to phase out lead in all PVC pipe application, and hope all the members can agree by the end of 2015 to adopt calcium or other stabilizer.
But other participants pointed out that the recycled materials and lead than cheaper raw materials or other stabilizer.
Industry officials said the industry faces a serious excess capacity, China plastic pipe production capacity of 25 million tons, is two times higher than the current demand, thus saving cost economic pressure is still large.
Some participants, including plastic industry association of yunnan province, is a speech, according to use inferior pipe through bribes in exchange for the contract is another risk factor. Branch of stressed that violations are prompted them to introduce one of the reasons for the voluntary code.
The self-discipline rules include, must not make improper or illegal behavior, such as bribe to participate in market competition.
One industry managers, said China's pipeline industry development too fast in recent years, the government failed to keep up with the monitoring ability.
From liaoning yingkou prosperous flat pipe group (China) co., LTD., said executives Jiang Gucheng, now China's economic growth slowed, the authorities should strengthen the supervision, after a period of time, as the industry matures, this kind of problem will reduce the use of renewable materials.
