Status: Drinking water quality compliance rate 72%
On the World Water Day on March 22 this year, wading hygiene has become a new theme, and the theme of this year's China Water Week is “Develop water conservancy and improve people’s livelihoodâ€. According to a survey conducted by the United Nations, the world's annual discharge of sewage reaches more than 400 billion cubic meters, and more than 5 trillion cubic meters of water are polluted. Millions of people die every year from drinking contaminated water. Water pollution not only erodes drinking water resources, but it has seriously endangered human health in some countries and regions. The reporter learned from the summit that in China, more than 40% of the water quality in the key watersheds has not met the requirements of the treatment plan. At present, 70% of the country’s lakes and rivers suffer from different levels of pollution, and water pollution not only causes shortage of water resources. It also seriously threatens the physical and mental health of the people. Shallow groundwater in large and medium-sized cities across the country suffers from pollution to varying degrees, and about half of urban areas have serious groundwater pollution. There are hidden dangers in the safety of drinking water, and there are more than 300 million rural people in the country who have drinking water insecurity. Of the 222 surface drinking water sources in 113 key environmental protection cities in China, the average water quality compliance rate is only 72%. According to a survey conducted by the “Environmental Protection for the People's Livelihood Index 2007â€, 32.3% of the public expressed “unsatisfactory†and “not very satisfied†with the water environment in the region, and 20.7% of the public expressed “unsatisfaction†with the water environment of the residential community (village). And “not quite satisfiedâ€, 20% of the public expressed “unsatisfactory†and “not very satisfied†with the health of drinking water in the workplace.
Thankfully, the "Law of the People's Republic of China on the Prevention and Control of Water Pollution" was revised and adopted by the 32nd Session of the Standing Committee of the Tenth National People's Congress of the People's Republic of China on February 28, 2008. The Law of the People's Republic of China on Prevention and Control of Water Pollution will come into force on June 1, 2008.
Industry voice:
Luo Qi, General Manager of Qiqi Drinking Water: Once the water resources are polluted, generations cannot recover. Maybe the water supply in some places can never be restored. We simply pursue the growth of GDP, but it will leave endless difficulties for future generations. Therefore, it is hoped that the entire industry will look at this issue from the perspective of social responsibility. Although temporary requirements are relatively high for entrepreneurs, this is a problem we will face sooner or later.
New initiatives:
Guangdong will introduce food-grade bucket standard Rodin president said at the summit that the Guangdong Bottled Drinking Water Industry Association will issue a local standard for drinking water barrels in Guangdong Province - PC barrels for polycarbonate materials. The draft standard is now Come out and seek opinions from all parties. In an interview with this reporter, Rotan said that the current bucket standard for bottled water in China is based on an industry standard in the 1990s. This standard does not coincide with the current development of the entire domestic water industry, and some regulations have not kept pace. Development requirements, and some water companies customize buckets according to their own standards. In order to save costs, some water companies have even purchased some buckets that use industrial fertilizers and garbage to recycle, which not only causes the water industry's overall service quality to be low, but also poses a threat to consumers' drinking water safety.
Industry voice:
Luo Tan, president of the Bottled Drinking Water Industry Association of Guangdong Province: According to international and national standards, packaging drums must use food-grade polycarbonate PC drums. The upcoming Guangdong drinking water standard is to meet food-grade standards and specifications. The healthy development of the water industry in Guangdong Province, while providing consumers with healthy drinking water from the bucket, and the introduction of the standard, the previously used inferior barrels will have to be eliminated.
Luo Qi, General Manager of Qiqi Drinking Water: After the new standard comes out, the company's purchase of buckets is not only a matter of considering whether it is cheaper, because it is faced with spot checks. If there are no new standards, many companies will also buy cheap buckets. Everyone's heart is clear. If the water they do not even dare to drink, what is the value of this industry?
According to reports, the Measures for the Administration of Paid Use of Plastic Shopping Bags for Commodity Retail Venues (Draft), issued by the Ministry of Commerce in April this year (Consultation Draft), stipulates that from June 1st onwards, domestic plastic bags will be prohibited from selling and merchants will consume. Those who provide plastic shopping bags at no cost or in disguise may face a maximum penalty of RMB 10,000.
Industry voice:
Luo Tan, president of the Bottled Drinking Water Industry Association of Guangdong Province: On June 1, the state banned the use of non-environmentally friendly plastic bags, and the problem of plastic bags for bottled water packaging was highlighted. How should companies respond? Some people say that they want to cancel the bags. Some people say that they should use biodegradable, environmentally friendly plastic bags. Just as some companies have proposed the use of eco-friendly bags, this can be used as a reference and inspiration. Consumers who use reusable eco-friendly bags will gradually accept it.
Sun Life distilled water general manager Lin Qin: The packaging bag should be able to repeat, recycling is the only environmental protection, and now manufacturers feel that the simpler the better, sold out and throw, plastic bags are often thrown away after a single use, so obviously not Environmental protection.
Zhang Xianfeng, deputy general manager of the barreling department of Guangzhou Changshou Village Beverage Co., Ltd.: At present, plastic bags are used to protect the buckets, but in fact they are of little significance to the protection of the buckets. They are only used for dust protection because the buckets are stacked. , The dealer must also save, the use of the bucket more times, will naturally wear out, wear the bucket on the customer's home, the image of nature is damaged.
Yuan Qingquan, manager of Huashanquan Administration Department: The cloth bags used at the summit did not know whether or not everyone in the booth had previously used it. I think it is more scientific to use this kind of environmental protection bag. If we use this bag outside the bucket, it is very convenient. .
Eight-odd odd drinking water general manager Luo Ye: Can you find both guarantee the appearance of the barrel and ensure the quality of the two methods? To find ways acceptable to consumers and the government, I think that reusable bags may be a good way. The government can guide them through relevant laws and regulations. Consumers are God, they want bags, companies cannot afford to provide bags. If you spend a dollar or two, you don't want to save a dollar or two, so consumers may accept it.
How should a water company face the prohibition order of June 1
“The biggest challenge for the industry now is that the state will ban the use of non-environmentally friendly plastic bags on June 1. How to deal with and deal with the problem of how to deal with and deal with bottled water outside packaging plastic bags has become an urgent task. Some foreign counterparts have already cancelled bottled water. Plastic packaging bags, water companies must have a unified view of where to go.†At the water summit, Luo Tan, president of the Bottled Water Drinking Water Industry Association of Guangdong Province, raised new issues that the water industry could not avoid. According to the reporter’s understanding, the revised "Law of the People's Republic of China on Water Pollution Prevention and Control" has been implemented since June 1 this year. The old-fashioned drinking water environmental protection issue has again attracted the attention of participating experts and enterprises. In addition to the water pollution problem, the issue of the environmental protection symposium at the water summit has raised questions about whether plastic bottled water bags can be removed or replaced, and whether Guangdong will introduce food-grade bucket standards. High attention from drinking experts.
