With the approaching of a new round of central environmental protection supervision, Zhejiang, which has not yet accepted environmental protection supervision, is about to receive an environmental protection examination. The reporter learned that some enterprises in Shaoxing, Zhejiang, the "key dye town" in China, have begun to close down, and the price of dyes has also risen recently.

　　 dyestuff Important town welcomes environmental protection examination

This year, the central environmental protection supervision will achieve full coverage of all regions in the country. Zhejiang Province, which did not appear in the first three batches of environmental protection supervision list, will accept a new round of central environmental protection supervision.

Domestic dye production capacity is highly concentrated in Zhejiang, with Shaoxing Shangyu as the center. Public data shows that the production capacity of disperse dyes reaches 440000 tons/year, accounting for 80% of the country; The production capacity of reactive dyes reached 175000 tons/year, accounting for 38% of the country. Among them, Zhejiang dye enterprises listed on A-share market include Zhejiang Longsheng, Runtu and Jihua Group. Among them, Zhejiang Longsheng and Runtu are both located in Shangyu District, Shaoxing.

The environmental protection inspection team went to Zhejiang, where the fate of major polluting dyes was the most worrying. It is reported that the dye industry has serious pollution, which is easy to produce a large amount of waste water and waste gas, especially contains a large amount of organic toxic waste with high chroma and a high content of salt. The environmental protection problem of its important intermediate, Hacid, has attracted particular attention and has been exposed repeatedly.

Judging from the previous three batches, this year's environmental supervision and punishment is the strictest in history. According to the data from the Ministry of Environmental Protection, as of the end of June this year, 31457 environmental problems reported to the local authorities by seven supervision teams had been basically settled, with a total of nearly 370 million yuan of fines, 8687 cases of fines and 24299 orders for rectification. The number of persons interviewed and held accountable in seven provinces and cities reached 6657 and 4660 respectively, and 405 were detained.

Under the iron hand pollution control, the fate of printing and dyeing is worrying. The largest fine (21.96 million yuan) issued in the history of Hubei environmental protection was due to dye pollution, that is, in April 2016, Hubei Provincial Environmental Protection Department, according to the document forwarded by the Supervision Center of the Ministry of Environmental Protection, shut down Hubei Chuyuan Group, the largest producer of reactive dyes and intermediates in China. It was only in April this year that the company began to resume low load operation.

Zhejiang Province is currently the largest dyestuff production base in China and even in the world. The inspection of the central inspection team on Zhejiang Dyestuff Province may have a significant impact on China's dyestuff enterprises.

　　 environmental protection Appearance of supervision and deterrence

In June this year, after the new Minister of Environmental Protection Li Ganjie took office, he put forward the "five steps", namely, supervision, assignment, patrol, interview and special supervision. Enterprises that cannot be upgraded to meet the emission standards will be closed before the end of September 2017.

What is the fate of the printing and dyeing industry exposed by pollution? On August 2, the research report of BOC International pointed out that the current environmental protection policy and implementation are the strictest in history, which may have a significant impact on the operating rate of intermediates and related products in the dye industry. Since July, several relevant enterprises in Shaoxing Shangyu Industrial Park have stopped production due to environmental protection and safety problems.

The reporter has confirmed that some enterprises in Shangyu stopped production from local dye enterprises. A dye enterprise in Shangyu told reporters that some small and medium-sized dye enterprises have problems in environmental protection and safety because they are reluctant to invest and may not be able to pay high environmental protection expenditure.

In fact, the upcoming new round Supervision The storm is stimulating the price of dyes. Annuoqi related personnel told reporters that recently, affected by environmental protection supervision, dye enterprises in some areas began to close down. In this context, some of the company's dye varieties also raised prices. However, the specific range and variety of price increases have not been understood in detail with the business department.

At the same time, the reporter learned from Zhejiang Longsheng, the world's largest dye company, that the price of disperse dyes began to rise last week because of environmental supervision problems. Take the disperse black as an example, the price has risen from 2400 yuan/ton to 2600 yuan/ton now.

Normalized and institutionalized environmental protection supervision has a great deterrent to the highly polluting industries represented by dyes, and will significantly increase the production costs of enterprises. For some industries and SMEs with low production level, insufficient environmental protection facilities, and extensive governance, the future operation will face huge regulatory pressure. In addition to the continuous promotion of supply side structural reform, some products will face the situation of clearing out backward production capacity and reducing supply.
