Stone exports to Europe and the United States will require CE and "carbon label" double certificate

Construction products CE and low-carbon environmental protection meeting were held in Xiamen, Fujian Province not long ago. At the meeting, a Dutch expert from SGS, the world's largest third-party notary public agency, revealed that “stone exports to Europe and the United States must not only have passports (referred to as CE certification). The 'carbon label' will be requested from next year.

At present, Xiamen has become the world's largest stone import and export base, with annual stone exports amounting to billions of dollars. For the stone industry, "low-carbon environmental protection" is not on the mouth, but will be required to act.

The relevant person in charge of a large stone export enterprise in Xiamen told reporters that the market that first proposed this request is France. The French “New Environmental Protection Act” requires consumer products to indicate the carbon footprint of their products (started on July 1, 2011). At least one year), emphasize that products on the French market are marked with carbon emissions throughout their life cycle.

In addition to France, there are more than 10 countries including Germany, Britain, the United States, Japan and South Korea that have enacted carbon label environmental protection regulations. The Singapore government has recently introduced a carbon labeling scheme. The above-mentioned Dutch experts revealed to reporters that for import requirements, foreign markets generally adopt sampling methods. Once they do not meet the requirements, it is difficult to enter the country's market.

Faced with such a "harsh" new environmental protection situation, according to the reporter's in-depth understanding of the stone enterprises mainly engaged in import and export business, the stone export enterprises of Xiamen Enterprises do not have to worry too much about this.

“The carbon footprint of stone requires calculation of carbon data from the aspects of raw material mining, transportation, processing, logistics and distribution, etc. according to energy consumption.” The relevant industry told reporters that after measuring by professional institutions, they can apply for relevant “carbon”. Label", "As far as I know, Xiamen's stone enterprises, the overall technology is more advanced, should not be a problem."

With this label, according to the trend of foreign consumers favoring low-carbon products, if they want to cater to the market, they also need to make relevant improvements. "Reducing pollution in stone mining and processing, and continuing to improve the utilization rate of stone materials to meet emission reduction requirements." According to relevant sources, the worst can also be achieved through carbon trading at the exchange to achieve "carbon neutrality."

It is understood that because the share of the European and American stone industry in Europe and the United States is not small, in the face of such environmental protection requirements, many Xiamen enterprises have prepared for the rain, such as organizing personnel to carry out relevant training on this procedure.
