Chinese home appliance companies intend to join forces to respond to EU environmental directives

"At present, we are planning to establish a consortium of various home appliance companies to participate in the EU recycling system." Yesterday, Yu Zhisheng, president of the China Electrical and Mechanical Import and Export Chamber of Commerce, told reporters.

Association: brewing organizations to form a consortium

According to the WEEE Directive, since last Friday, manufacturers of electrical and electronic equipment that have entered the EU market have to take responsibility for the recycling of their own waste products. From the fees set by the countries that have implemented the “WEEE Directive”, the maximum recycling cost of the refrigerator is 20 Euro/piece, the recycling cost of the washing machine and air conditioner is 10 Euro/piece, and the recycling cost of the microwave oven is 5 Euro/piece, and other small household appliances. The recycling fee is 1 Euro/piece.

According to Yu Zhizhen, the four international giants such as Sony, Hewlett-Packard, Electrolux and Braun have reached an agreement to participate in the EU recycling system by forming a consortium and to recycle the waste electrical and electronic products within the EU. Recycling for open tendering, minimizing the cost of recycling your scrapped products through economies of scale, open tendering and the use of existing EU recycling facilities. “Chinese companies can also learn from this practice,” said Yu Zhiwei. “However, it is only in the discussion stage and has not yet reached the actual action.” “The first step is to get the EU’s approval first, and then discuss it in the next step. Other issues, such as how to deal with the cost of the company after the establishment of the recycling complex," Yu Zhiwei said. Since there is no mature recycling system in China, it is the first attempt in the joint recycling of enterprises. "Without this experience, it is difficult to say whether it can be recognized by the EU." It is reported that China Household Electrical Appliances Industry Association, China Machinery and Electronic Import and Export Chamber of Commerce, etc. will soon be organized to negotiate with the EU.

Enterprise: Distinguishing responsible person is the primary issue

"If the Chamber of Commerce can lead us to form a consortium, that is definitely a good thing." Yesterday, the relevant group responsible for the EU environmental protection directives in the US group said in an interview that China's home appliance companies are now participating in the EU's environmental recycling system, and the overall cost is much higher than that of many home appliance companies. "On the one hand, home appliance companies are more likely to talk about conditions than to talk about conditions alone. On the other hand, in the certification of recycling products, many companies are not very clear about the specific indicators of EU countries. As a matter of fact, we can provide guidance for enterprises to make up for the problem of information asymmetry."

A related person in charge of Galanz also said that before the company entered the EU, it had to pay a large amount of registration fees, recycling logo fees and other expenses. If a consortium is established, there should be a lot of "savings" and "saving money" for enterprises. Great help. "At present, we most want to find out who is the person responsible for recycling," said the person in charge of the United States. "Because a large part of the products exported to the EU are OEM products. According to the EU's 'manufacturer's responsibility for recycling', So, should we recognize the company or the brand? Or recognize the origin of the goods? These are not clearly defined, and it is easy to cause confusion."

Rubber Cable

Rubber cable is also rubber sheathed cable. As its name implies, it is a wire and cable with various rubbers or thermosetting elastomers with equivalent performance as the insulation and sheath foundation.
Because of its unique flexibility, rubber sheathed cables are very suitable for use in indoor and outdoor environments, including wet and even water conditions. They are usually used on mobile electrical equipment. They are suitable for electrical and pneumatic connection or wiring with AC rated voltage of 300V/500V and 450V/750V below.
Rubber sheathed cables are used by products in many fields due to their unique mechanical and physical properties, so they are classified into many categories, such as mobile universal rubber sheathed cables, electric welding machines, electric power, marine, mining, wind energy, nuclear energy, etc., among which mobile universal rubber sheathed cables and mining cables are widely used.

Advantages

1. Good water resistance, less air permeability.
2. It can be mixed with other rubber or plastics to improve the performance of rubber.
3. Good heat resistance. The heat resistance of rubber is better than that of natural rubber and styrene butadiene rubber.
4. The physical and mechanical properties are average. The mechanical properties of rubber without reinforcing agent are poor.
5. It has excellent oil resistance and solvent resistance. The higher the content of acrylonitrile, the better the oil resistance.
