"Road Map" makes it difficult for the lighting industry to enter the adjustment period to reshuffle the industry.

Recently, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the Ministry of Science and Technology and the Ministry of Environmental Protection officially released the "China Roadmap for Gradually Lowering the Mercury of Fluorescent Lamps" (hereinafter referred to as the "Road Map"), and strive to eliminate the liquid mercury production process by the end of 2014. By 2015, the average mercury content of a single fluorescent lamp product is about 80% lower than that of 2010, and more than half of the fluorescent lamps contain less than 1 mg of mercury.

However, by comparing the officially issued Road Map and the consultation draft issued last year, some content changes. On some key objectives, the binding targets in the opinion draft were titled “Strive” and “Strive”. To make it "degenerate" into an expected goal. At the same time, industry analysts said that the "road map" will prompt the lighting manufacturing industry to enter an adjustment period, and industry reshuffle is inevitable.

New standard is weakened
In fact, as early as November last year, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued a draft of the "China Roadmap for Gradually Lowering the Mercury of Fluorescent Lamps", and the announcement was completed on December 5, and the official version was released.

Through comparison, it was found that in the draft for comments, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology stated that “by December 31, 2013, the production process of compact fluorescent liquid mercury was eliminated; and on December 31, 2014, the production process of liquid mercury was completely eliminated. In the official version, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology changed its statement to read, “At the end of 2013, strive to eliminate the production process of compact fluorescent liquid mercury (production of fluorescent lamps in the form of liquid mercury or liquid mercury wrap in the production process); Completely eliminate the production process of liquid mercury."

The terms “strive for” and “strive for” have allowed the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology to replace the binding targets of the liquid mercury process with the expected objectives.

In the previous commentary version, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology clearly stated in the expected effect that “the total annual mercury consumption of the industry will be reduced from about 60 tons in 2010 to about 10 tons”, and this sentence is not in the officially issued document. appear.

Not only that, in the draft for comments, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology said, “By 2014, by eliminating the liquid mercury process, the mercury emissions in the production process will be reduced by about 20 tons compared to 2010”. This expression was changed to the official version and was changed to “by the end of 2014, by eliminating the liquid mercury process, mercury emissions in the production process were reduced by approximately 50% compared to 2010”.

According to the previously disclosed data, in 2010, the amount of mercury used in the production of lighting products in China reached 63 tons, the amount of mercury released into the atmosphere was about 25 tons, the liquid mercury injection process leaked about 17 tons, and the fluorescent lamps discarded about 8 tons of mercury. From this calculation, the mercury emission in China's production process in 2010 is about 50 tons.

Lighting industry faces shuffling
According to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, in 2011, the output of fluorescent lamps in China was about 7 billion. Among them, the output of compact fluorescent lamps is about 4.7 billion, accounting for more than 80% of global production, and exports are 2.8 billion; the output of other types of fluorescent lamps is about 2.3 billion, and exports are 770 million.

Relevant data show that in 2011, China's lighting industry sales of 55.6 billion US dollars, exports of 22.34 billion US dollars. The upcoming implementation of the fluorescent light reduction roadmap will inevitably have a strong impact on the large-scale fluorescent lamp market.

He Zaihua, a senior researcher at China Investment Consulting, said that the introduction of the "Road Map" will prompt the lighting manufacturing industry to enter an adjustment period, and industry reshuffle is inevitable. He believes that related companies must quickly change their thinking and adjust their development strategies so that enterprises can have more potential for survival. The research and development capabilities of the company and the environmental performance of the products will be an important indicator in the process of survival of the fittest in the industry.

However, reducing the mercury content of fluorescent lamps is not only in China, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology said that advanced economies such as Europe and the United States have proposed to reduce the mercury content of fluorescent lamps. The European Union issued a directive in 2010 that compact fluorescent lamps (power less than 30 watts) should not contain more than 2.5 milligrams of mercury from 2013; relevant fluorescent standards in the United States require compact fluorescent lamps (power less than 25 watts) containing no more than 4 milligrams of mercury. .

Compared with the timetable issued by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, as of the end of 2013, China's requirements for mercury content in compact fluorescent lamps (power less than 30 watts) were 1.5 mg. It can be seen that China's requirements for mercury content in fluorescent lamps are significantly higher than those in Europe and the United States.
