According to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology on the 3rd, a series of policies on cleaner production in the pesticide industry will soon be introduced. These policies will clearly define the anti-pollution goals of the entire industry during the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan†period.
In an interview with this reporter, relevant persons from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology indicated that the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology will also provide special financial support for some advanced technologies that meet the requirements of the Cleaner Production Promotion Program, which will benefit a number of listed companies.
Guiding capital to gather clean technologies
At present, the production capacity, output, and export volume of China's pesticide industry rank first in the world, and the wastewater discharged by the pesticide industry accounts for about 2% to 3% of the total industrial wastewater discharge in the country. Despite the small amount of water, the concentration is high and the toxicity is high. Many of the waste water are non-biodegradable or biological inhibitors and it is difficult to control them. According to the China Pesticide Industry Association, “In the context of energy conservation and emission reduction, it is imminent to improve the industry's pollution prevention and control technologies.â€
The above-mentioned person from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology stated that it will promote the implementation of the cleaner production technology implementation program for the pesticide industry, establish a technology information exchange platform, and guide local governments to pool funds for cleaner production technology projects. In addition, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology will also implement advanced technologies that meet the requirements of some cleaner production programs. Technology gives special funding support.
Leading company will get favorable policy
In addition, the “Pesticide Industry Pollution Prevention and Control Technology Policy†commissioned by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of the People's Republic of China has completed the first draft. The “Technical Policy†clarifies that before 2015, the industry will basically adopt the clean production processes and technologies that have been developed, and feature pollution before 2015. Material handling rate is greater than 70%.
According to the introduction, the "Technical Policy" will encourage pesticide production enterprises to adopt cleaner production technologies with high overall utilization of resources and low pollutant generation, eliminate outdated production technologies, processes, and equipment so as to achieve stable discharge of pollutants and achieve compliance with standards. Total discharge control requirements for pollutants.
Pesticide associations believe that the environmental protection of the pesticide industry will usher in a good policy environment, competitive enterprises are expected to enjoy the special funds and other series of good. He said that currently, sales of pesticide companies in the 1 billion yuan, has a certain degree of environmental protection Basically, many of these companies are listed companies; while the environmental protection base of 100-200 million SMEs is relatively weak, it is also the difficulty of energy-saving emission reduction.
Market participants said that these measures will eliminate a group of small enterprises with backward production capacity and optimize the survival environment of leading companies.
