The national mold industry develops five ways to develop a low-carbon economy

Since the Copenhagen conference, the global low-carbon wave has rapidly come into being. The low-carbon economy has become a hot issue, and the concept of low-carbon and environmental protection has become popular. “Low-carbon economy energy-saving emission reduction has triggered changes in the development mode of the equipment manufacturing industry, from the extensive pursuit of the scale of development in the past to improve the ability of independent innovation, improve the development of international competitiveness, as a change in the development direction of the 12th Five-Year” equipment manufacturing industry. A strategic breakthrough," said Qu Xianming, a deputy dean of the Institute of Machinery Science and an executive director of the China Mechanical Engineering Society. According to Luo Baihui, executive director of the International Mould and Hardware and Plastics Industry Suppliers Association and a specialist in the mold industry, under the combined effects of internal and external factors, China's mold industry is moving toward an era of low-carbon economy, and mold companies are vigorously developing a new era of green economy. It is a general trend to start a new round of industrial upgrading.

For China's mold industry, the awareness of environmental protection caused by frequent global disasters may increase the environmental pressure of the mold manufacturing industry. Because the mold industry is also a resource-consuming industry, and the current stage of development is still relatively elementary, the introduction of many environmental protection policies and regulations will, to a certain extent, limit the development of the industry. As a production tool, mold products have an undoubted significance in transforming the production mode of equipment manufacturing. At the same time, they can improve their independent innovation capabilities and contribute to the development of low-carbon economy energy-saving and emission-reduction. The mold industry is even more responsible.

Mold industry how to explore a low carbon economy open?

First, leveraging the strength of the government and using fiscal and taxation policies.

The use of fiscal and taxation policies to promote the development of low-carbon economy has been widely practiced in developed countries. The foreign government emphasizes the role of guiding, demonstrating and incentivizing fiscal and taxation policies on the basis of giving full play to the role of market mechanisms. The fiscal and taxation policies that promote the development of low-carbon economy are diverse, systematic, normative, and stable. Create a policy atmosphere for the public to participate in low-carbon businesses. The relevant government departments should use the characteristics and development trends of the low-carbon economy laws and fiscal policies to maximize the role of fiscal and taxation policies in promoting the development of low-carbon economy. Fu Zhihua, a researcher at the National Institute of Finance’s Institute of Fiscal Science, proposed at the “Forum on Dr. Shan’s Low-Carbon Fiscal Policy” that there are many areas of market failure in the development of a low-carbon economy. The government needs to play its due role and actively intervene. For example, the energy saving and emission reduction currently being promoted faces problems such as high investment in R&D, investment risks, and obstacles in product marketing. This requires the government to use various policy tools, including the comprehensive use of necessary legal, administrative, and economic tools, to make up for market deficiencies, and to guide and promote energy conservation and emission reduction.

Professor Ding Lan, a professor at the School of Finance and Taxation at Capital University of Economics and Business and the executive director of the China Taxation Association, suggested that the protection of the environment must rely on government forces and use taxation to promote environmental protection toward a virtuous cycle. At the same time, the tax reform should focus on the structural adjustment of the overall taxation system. In the introduction of environmental taxes and the reform of the existing taxation system, the principle of fairness and efficiency, the principle of regulation, the overall greening of the tax system, and the principle of gradual and orderly progress should be followed. She emphasized that in the process of reform, we must not only protect the environment, but also not affect the stable development of the economy and society, so as to form a "green" taxation system and make the low-carbon revolution a real reality.

Second, pay attention to investment areas and accelerate structural adjustment.

According to the survey, the country’s huge investment in aviation, automobiles, railways, green energy, ships, electronic information and other industries has driven the mold market demand structure to high-end development. The state invests in the above-mentioned key areas not only to cope with the financial crisis and expand domestic demand, but also to focus on the long-term development goal of structural adjustment. This indicates that the industry will focus on these industries in the era of structurally adjusted financial crisis. In particular, many key areas in China are also blocked by foreign technologies, so structural adjustment will surely be based on independent innovation. This will give the mold industry an opportunity to adjust its industrial upgrading structure. According to Luo Baihui, executive director of the International Die & Metals and Plastics Industry Suppliers Association, the mold industry should focus on key investment areas, gain insight into user needs, increase research and development of applicable products, and eliminate backward production capacity as soon as possible to “professional, refined, and special” products. Transfer to avoid vicious competition. Luo Baihui, for example, said that some companies have developed high-speed railway track plate grinders to the successful development of "special planes." There are many other areas that require us to fill gaps, such as aircraft belts, automatic drilling and riveting machines for airplanes, special needles for textile needles, human joint prostheses, and other parts needed in the healthcare field. At present, these products mainly rely on imports, and even have a ban on sales in China. We can only open new markets based on independent innovation and the development of alternative products that meet the needs of users. According to the data, the import of mould parts continued to increase in 2009, which shows that the domestically produced mould parts cannot fully meet the requirements of the host industry. The parts and components companies should seize the opportunity for market growth, develop new products, and speed up structural adjustments.

Third, to strengthen management effectiveness and ensure the effectiveness of enterprises.

According to a survey conducted by the International Association of Molds and Metals and Plastics Industry Suppliers, the shortage of new orders in the Pearl River Delta in the past two years is extremely common, which is basically 1/4 lower than in the same period of 2008. In addition, half of the companies have experienced user suspension or return. In recent months, the market has shown a good trend, but most companies are cautiously optimistic about the market outlook in the near future. It is necessary to strengthen the efficiency of business management, increase the turnover rate of liquidity, increase the input-output ratio, and ensure the efficiency of enterprises. Luo Baihui said, "First of all, the steel materials for mold products are all kinds of metals. These metals have consumed a lot of resources during the smelting process, causing damage to the environment. Secondly, during the production and processing of molds, they will also consume A large amount of energy, and even some pollution, will determine that in the mold industry, the low-carbon environmental protection policy will be upgraded to a very important height. At present, China's mold enterprises are mainly self-sufficient and export-oriented. Regardless of whether it is in the domestic production field or the export market, relevant countries have introduced a series of standards and regulations. In order to continue to survive and develop, the mold and related industries must be able to adapt to these new standards and actively participate in environmental protection. The history of the process came. Companies that fall behind in this process will soon be eliminated by history. Luo Baihui suggested that in order to fully adapt to the country’s environmental protection policy and achieve the environmental protection standards for future exports to Europe and the United States, China’s mold companies need more sustained efforts from China’s mold companies, increase investment in new products and technologies, and increase product quality. Product added value. The majority of companies must shoulder the responsibility. Chinese companies, especially large corporations, continue to develop the spirit of being brave in taking responsibility. They are striving to develop a model for a low-carbon economy and have a qualitative leap in the concept and level of corporate development.

Fourth, seek to break through the bottleneck and expand the industry's exports.

According to the current global economic situation, the mold industry must maintain the export of sophisticated products such as large-scale, large-scale, precision forming dies. In response to the current rapid growth of emerging markets, through the promotion of publicity, to provide comprehensive after-sales service, to achieve the goal of bulk exports of high-grade mold.

Some developed countries in the world build green barriers with environmental protection, which undoubtedly increases the difficulty of access to the international market. Products that pollute the environment with high energy-consumption products are either rejected or severely taxed. Therefore, the research and application of low-carbon economy and green manufacturing technologies, the direction of future economic development, and the entry of products into the international market base, the mold industry enterprises should attach great importance, and they should prepare well in advance to meet the future. At present, a series of policies are adopted at home and abroad to encourage mold enterprises to develop green production. Its purpose is to "energy saving, emission reduction and material saving." In response to this requirement, the mold industry first adopted lightweight materials to replace heavier quality materials such as magnesium and aluminum alloys, plastic steel metal, and high-strength, high-rigidity materials. At the same time, it also actively purchased advanced low-energy environmental protection processing equipment and waste gas, waste treatment equipment to achieve the purpose of green production.

Although the equipment manufacturing industry itself occupies a small proportion of energy consumption, it produces energy that is "large". Therefore, in addition to adjusting the overcapacity of its own industrial structure, the moldmaking industry as the “parent machine” of equipment manufacturing industry should also undertake to provide low-energy environmental protection products, provide end-of-line treatment and recycling equipment for comprehensive utilization of resources, and advanced production and processing technologies. To improve the efficiency of machinery manufacturing.

Fifth, implement a green plan and build a green supply chain.

Energy saving, emission reduction and low-carbon economy have become a long-term development trend, and at the same time, a number of rapidly developing new industries have been brought about. Such as high-speed trains, rail traffic, etc., and these industries also put forward new requirements for the mold industry. As the basic equipment for the manufacturing industry, the mold industry is hailed as "the mother of industry." The trend of the mold manufacturing industry and its entire industry chain affects every "nerve" of the manufacturing industry. According to Luo Baihui, executive director of the International Mould, Hardware and Plastic Industry Suppliers Association, the mold industry must step up the development and implementation of a green action plan to create a green supply chain. Must focus on the green supply chain as a guide to reorganize the corporate operating system, establish a green management department, formulate statistics, monitoring and assessment methods for carbon emission reduction, improve the management system and supervise implementation mechanisms, and provide institutional guarantees for low-carbon production and manufacturing; Actively adjust the production system, accelerate the elimination of outdated production capacity, processes, technologies and equipment, strengthen production energy conservation and building energy conservation, implement green procurement and green services, and actively address resources, the environment and other related issues concerning the sustainable development of enterprises.

From the development direction of the above-mentioned mold industry, it can be seen that attention is paid to the low-carbon problem of the mold manufacturing industry and its entire industrial chain. In addition to raw materials, production equipment, and exhaust gas treatment, the production of the mold manufacturing industry should be realized to the largest extent possible. . Because, the intelligent industry is not only a low-carbon economy, but also has advanced technology and is in line with the current overall economic development direction.

Therefore, the concept of the mold industry that we are discussing in the era of “low-carbon economy” should be broader in its concept. Only in this way, that is, attention to all aspects of the development of the mold industry, can promote the mold industry to quickly and effectively move toward the "low-carbon economy era."
