Inventory 2016 environmental protection policies related to coatings

2016 quietly came to an end, the country's efforts to combat environmental pollution have become increasingly strict, and the coatings industry has ushered in a wave of “closing down”. Looking back on the year to come, the development of coatings companies can be described as twists and turns, which is not calm enough. During the year, raw material prices continued to soar, environmental protection policies gradually increased, and the coatings industry continued to integrate... With the increasingly fierce market competition, some people are happy to be sad. In the days of the year-end and the beginning of the year, the editorial team of HC Coatings Network will launch a series of articles and columns to take stock of the 2016 paint event, so that the industry can learn from each other and get better development. The inventory includes major news events, interviews, policies and regulations, investment activities, technical developments, charitable actions, dealer meetings, etc., so stay tuned.

The coatings industry has always been concerned about environmental issues. In 2016, the most frequent news in the news was the VOCs sewage charges. Recently, from January 1, 2017, Yunnan officially launched the VOCs sewage charges for the above-mentioned industries. It is understood that Yunnan, after Beijing, Shanghai, Jiangsu, Anhui, Hunan, Sichuan, Tianjin, Liaoning, Zhejiang, Hebei, Shandong, Shanxi, Hainan, Hubei, Fujian and Jiangxi, became the country's seventeenth pilot industry VOCs sewage discharge Provincial level (including municipalities) with fee collection policy.

Beijing, which first introduced such a policy for the emission of pollutants from volatile organic compounds, will be issued from September 1, 2015, and will be implemented on October 1, the same year. In 2016, the environmental protection policy has not been relaxed. Only in this year, how many environmental protection policies that the applicators are applauding or complaining about are introduced and implemented? Let’s review them together.

On the same day, the trial of Jinhuyu Guangdong banned new solvent-based coating projects

In April 2016, the National Development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Commerce and the relevant departments jointly reviewed and formed the “Draft List of Market Access Negative List (Pilot Edition)”, and recently announced the issuance of the notice, the draft will be in Tianjin, Shanghai, Fujian, Four provinces and municipalities directly under the Central Government of Guangdong were trial-run. During the pilot period, as of the end of 2017, a unified national market access negative list system will be officially implemented from 2018.

In the "Negative List Draft", in the 53rd item of the "Industrial Structure Adjustment Guidance Catalogue" and the new category of restricted projects, the new petrochemical project is prohibited, and it is clearly prohibited to "newly establish sulfuric acid titanium dioxide and lead". Chrome yellow, 10,000 tons/year iron oxide pigment, solvent-based paint (excluding encouraged paint varieties and production processes), powder coating production equipment containing triglycidyl isocyanurate (TGIC), An explicit provision touched the sensitive nerves of the painter.

Guangdong introduces the country's first container manufacturing emission standard

Recently, Guangdong Province's "Conditional Volatile Organic Compounds Emission Standards" (hereinafter referred to as "Standards") was officially announced on the official website of the Provincial Environmental Protection Agency, which will be implemented on July 1, 2016. In the implementation process of the Standard, existing projects and new projects are distinguished, and existing projects have a one-year transition period. As of July 1, 2017, all container manufacturing projects will implement uniform emission standards.

Guangdong, which is close to the South China Sea, is busy with shipping and is also a major container manufacturing province. “The coatings used in the container manufacturing process are mainly solvent-based coatings. At the same time, at least 10%-20% of the thinners need to be added during the coating process. The main components are toluene and xylene, so a large amount of VOCs will be produced.” The hospital expert told the author.

Shunde VOCs emissions trading deal 25.5 million yuan

On August 24, 2016, Shunde's second batch of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emissions trading was successfully held at the Guangdong Environmental Rights Exchange. 15 wooden furniture manufacturers launched a fierce bidding for the required pollutant discharge index. The bidding index for VOCs was 7 tons/year, the reserve price was 8,000 yuan/ton/year, and the service period was 5 years. After 5 consecutive hours of 9 rounds of intense At the auction, 9 companies, including Foshan Xiyi Furniture Co., Ltd., bought the entire pollutant discharge index at an average price of 72,800 yuan/ton/year, with a total turnover of 2,55,896,600 yuan.

Emission rights: refers to the right of pollutant discharge units to discharge pollutants directly or indirectly to the environment in accordance with the pollutant discharge targets permitted by the pollutant discharge permit.

Emissions trading: refers to the act of the transaction subject to trade the pollutant discharge indicators obtained according to law.

VOCs have the title of “grey culprits”, which not only have high toxicity characteristics, but also generate ozone and pollute the air under photosynthesis. As early as March 2016, the first VOCS emission trading transaction in the province was carried out in Shunde District, Foshan City, Guangdong Province, marking the full launch of the pilot use of local emission rights and trading in Guangdong.

According to HC Coatings Network, Shunde District carried out a pilot project on the trading of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) as a pollutant pollutant emission right for Foshan City, and launched a pilot program for the use and trading of emission rights. It is also the implementation of the Shunde District Government in 2016. Important measures for the total pollutant control system. The emission trading transaction initiated by Shunde District is based on the overall framework of the pilot work in Guangdong Province. Based on its own industry and industry characteristics, the selection of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the manufacture of wood furniture and footwear industry is carried out.

More than 10 million tons of VOCs will be cut during the 13th Five-Year Plan period

“To complete the task of reducing the total amount of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emissions in key regions and key industries by more than 10% in the 13th Five-Year Plan, not only need to cut 10% of existing VOCs emissions, but also The reduction of the number of VOCs during the '13th Five-Year Plan' period is estimated to be more than 10 million tons of VOCs in two parts. The task is arduous." Ye Daiqi, Secretary General of the VOCs Pollution Prevention and Control Committee of the Chinese Society of Environmental Sciences, at the 2016 VOCs Summit Forum The fourth annual academic meeting of the VOCs Pollution Prevention and Control Committee (hereinafter referred to as the "VOCs Academic Annual Meeting") was expressed.

Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, Yangtze River Delta, Shandong urban agglomeration and the Pearl River Delta are key areas for VOCs emission reduction. “Comprehensively consider the VOCs emissions per unit area, per capita GDP and per capita pollution emission intensity, and allocate the reduction tasks to key areas. It is recommended that the Yangtze River Delta, Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, Shandong urban agglomeration and the Pearl River Delta region be cut on a 2015 basis. 33.2%, 21.5%, 18.5% and 14.2%." Ye Daiqi said.

The coating industry VOCs control plan is to develop relevant emission standards

Since the release of the “Atmosphere Ten”, the relevant supporting policies have entered the stage of intensive introduction.

The State Council issued a document to comprehensively strengthen the control of VOCs in key industries such as surface coating

On November 24, the State Council officially issued the "13th Five-Year Plan for Ecological Environmental Protection." According to the planning requirements, all provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) should carry out situation analysis against the national atmospheric environmental quality standards, and regularly assess and publish information on atmospheric environmental quality. Strengthen the process management of objectives and tasks, deepen the withdrawal of excess capacity in heavy polluting industries such as steel and cement, vigorously promote the use of clean energy, promote the upgrading of motor vehicle and oil standards, strengthen the supervision of energy products such as oil products, and strengthen the management of mobile source pollution. Increase the intensity of urban dust and small and micro enterprises' scattered sources and pollution of living sources.

Since the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan", relevant government departments have made every effort to promote the prevention and control of atmospheric, water and soil pollution, and continue to increase the intensity of ecological environmental protection, and the quality of the ecological environment has improved. During the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" period, the problems of unbalanced, uncoordinated and unsustainable economic and social development are still outstanding. Multi-stage, multi-field and multi-type ecological environment issues are intertwined. The ecological environment and the people's needs and expectations are far apart, and the environment is raised. Quality, strengthening the comprehensive management of the ecological environment, and accelerating the short-board of the ecological environment are the core tasks at present.

According to the "Planning", the provinces have improved the quality of the atmospheric environment due to regional policies, timely revised emergency plans for heavy pollution weather, carried out analysis of the causes of heavy pollution weather and analysis of pollutant sources, scientifically formulated targeted emission reduction measures, and updated emergency response measures annually. List. Start emergency response measures in a timely manner to improve the effectiveness of heavy pollution weather response. Strengthen supervision and supervision, and correspond to local governments that are not timely and have inadequate measures, and will be interviewed, notified, and supervised as appropriate.

Major changes in fixed source environmental management: "Identification" should be done in the future!

The General Office of the State Council issued the "Implementation Plan for Controlling Pollutant Discharge Permit System" (hereinafter referred to as the "Program"), and made arrangements for the improvement of the control system for controlling pollutant discharge and the implementation of the management of pollutant discharge permits for enterprises and institutions. The "Proposal" clarifies that by 2020, the completion of the discharge permit for all fixed pollution sources will be completed, and the establishment of a complete legal system, scientific system, and efficient management system to control the discharge of pollutants, and the implementation of the entire process of fixed pollution sources. Collaborative control of pollutants to achieve a "one-card" management of systematization, scientific, rule of law, refinement, and informationization.

The "Proposal" proposes that it is necessary to link and integrate relevant environmental management systems, and to establish a nuclear emission control system to become a core system for fixed pollution source environmental management. Through the implementation of the control system for controlling pollutant discharge, the system of controlling the total amount of pollutants discharged by enterprises and institutions will be implemented, and the total amount of pollutants discharged from the administrative areas will be controlled to the total amount of pollutants discharged by enterprises and institutions, and the scope will be gradually unified to a fixed source of pollution; Organically link environmental impact assessment system to achieve full-process supervision from pollution prevention to pollution control and emission control; provide unified pollutant discharge data for related work and improve management efficiency.

The "Proposal" requires that the discharge permits be issued in an orderly manner. Formulate a list of pollutant discharge management, promote the management of sewage discharge permits by industry, and gradually realize full coverage of sewage discharge permits. The environmental protection department of the local government at or above the county level shall be responsible for the issuance of the discharge permit, and the local regulations shall stipulate otherwise. It is necessary to refine the existing laws and regulations on the requirements of pollution control of enterprises and institutions, and determine the contents of licenses according to law. In areas where environmental quality is not up to standard, it is necessary to implement stricter management and control of pollutants discharged by enterprises and institutions.

China's first environmental protection tax law will be implemented on January 1, 2018

The 25th meeting of the Standing Committee of the 12th National People's Congress voted 145 votes in favor, 1 against and 4 abstentions on December 25, and passed the Environmental Protection Tax Law, which will be implemented on January 1, 2018. . The "Environmental Protection Tax Law" consists of five chapters and twenty-eight articles. The system design is based on the current sewage charge system, and specific provisions are made for the taxation basis and taxable amount, tax reduction and exemption, and collection management. The system rules for taxpayers, taxable objects, taxation basis, taxation amount, and collection management of environmental protection tax have been determined.

Wang Jianfan, the director of the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Finance, said that there are some differences between the environmental protection tax and other taxes, that is, starting from the taxation leverage, enterprises pay more taxes on multiple pollutant discharges, and enterprises can fulfill their environmental responsibility and reduce pollutant emissions. Enjoy tax breaks. Wang Qing, deputy director of the Economic Law Office of the NPC Law Committee, said at the press conference that one of the principles followed in the process of enacting the Environmental Protection Tax Law is to smoothly transfer the sewage charge system to the environmental protection tax system, mainly in the The following four aspects: First, the payer of sewage charges as the taxpayer of environmental protection tax. The second is to set up tax items based on the current sewage charges. The third is to set the tax basis based on the current sewage charge billing method. The fourth is to set the tax standard based on the current sewage charges.

Three ministries and commissions introduced a new policy to encourage "water-based paint" to replace "oily paint"

On December 26, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Ministry of Science and Technology, and the Ministry of Environmental Protection issued the “National Encouragement of Toxic and Hazardous Raw Materials (Products) Substitutes (2016 Edition)” to guide enterprises to continue to develop and use low toxicity and low harm.
