New trends: Kitchen and toilet industry must actively adapt to low-carbon trends

Although the "Copenhagen Climate Conference" did not reach a substantive and binding agreement, "energy saving and emission reduction" has become a responsibility that companies cannot afford to shirk in this era. "Low-carbon life" is also becoming an inevitable choice for global economic restructuring. As the soul of modern homes, kitchen and bathroom products are directly related to people's health and play an important role in the process of low carbon.

The Chinese government plans to reduce carbon dioxide emissions per unit of GDP by 40%-50% from 2005 by 2020. Li Director of the China International Cabinet and Kitchen Bathroom Products and Technology Expo (CIKB) Organizing Committee said: "For kitchen and toilet products, the biggest impact is the further improvement of energy efficiency indicators." He said that 'low carbon' and 'environmental protection' The requirements are not only aimed at the product use process, but also throughout the entire product life cycle, that is, starting from the product design to achieve the goal of maximizing carbon reduction. In addition, in the production field, the consumption of electricity, water, and other resources in the manufacturing process should be minimized.

At present, many kitchen and toilet companies in China are promoting the establishment of “environment-friendly companies” and vigorously develop and promote low-carbon products. However, this understanding is still not widely used in the industry, and many companies have increased their orders due to the improvement of their current export situation. , no time for low-carbon work. “Actually, there is no trivial matter in energy saving and emission reduction and improving the efficiency of energy use. Kitchen and toilet companies should treat every detail on the basis of the principle of 'not to be good, not to do',” said Director Li of the CIKB organizing committee.

Today, China's kitchen and toilet industry has made great achievements in energy conservation and environmental protection, but there is still great potential for internal excavation, especially by participating in international cooperation and exchanges, and aligning with advanced technologies and standards to achieve a wider living space. Take the air-conditioning industry, which has relatively mature competition, as an example. At present, the Global Environment Facility will provide US$6 million for training in air-conditioning technology in China. At the same time, the air-conditioning industry is launching a phase-out management plan for HCFCs to promote upgrade and transformation. CIKB Organizing Committee Director Li said that from the air conditioning industry can understand the future of the kitchen and toilet industry. However, the good news is that mainstream companies such as Wanhe, Vantage, Sakura, Germany, Italy, and forward have been actively involved in low-carbon construction, investing in human, material, and financial resources to conduct various comparison experiments, and popularizing energy-saving and environmentally-friendly products for the kitchen and toilet industry. Low carbonization plays a big role in promoting.

It is reported that the CIKB'10 will be held from September 28-30, 2010 at Shanghai New International Expo Center. The positioning of CIKB highlights the "internationalization" and "technical communication" platforms. “At present, the organizing committee is planning to prepare a series of promotional activities for low-carbon products, such as kitchen and new product demonstrations, in order to better recommend to buyers and consumers, so that kitchen and bathroom companies capture more business opportunities. The industry has achieved faster development,” said Director Li of the CIKB Organizing Committee. “As part of China’s manufacturing industry, the kitchen and toilet industry must recognize that only by consciously taking the initiative to comply with this trend can we achieve rapid development if we passively follow and even resist the trend. Will be eliminated."
