Reporter on July 8 in Wuxi Inspection and Quarantine Bureau was informed that the EU has recently built a new "green barrier": the provisions of the EU market in the production of perfluorooctane sulfonyl compounds (PFOS) content can not exceed quality 0.005%, which indicates that the EU formally prohibits the use of PFOS in commodities. The ban was formally passed by the European Parliament last year and will come into effect on June 27 this year. In addition, the United States, Canada and other countries and regions have also enacted relevant laws and regulations prohibiting the use of the material in some areas. After the ban is implemented, the export of textiles, leather, papermaking, packaging, printing and dyeing auxiliaries, cosmetics and other products in our country will have a greater impact and impact. In particular, exporters such as textiles and leather will bear the brunt. According to reports, PFOS is one of the most biodegradable organic pollutants, can be taken by organisms through breathing and consumption, are generally considered to be persistent organic pollutants and persistent cumulative toxicants. Currently, PFOS is the most widely used in the textile industry. Any textile that requires printing and dyeing and finishing needs to be pretreated and washed. In addition, PFOS may be used in functional finishing such as anti-UV and antibacterial. The survey shows that at present, China's textile manufacturers are still busy coping with the EU textile safeguard restrictions, the EU harmful azo dyes and other harmful substances detected, the RMB appreciation and the export tax rebate policy adjustments and other unfavorable factors, little knowledge of the PFOS directive, lack of attention, not Few business owners even do not know if their products contain PFOS. To this end, experts pointed out: In order to meet the PFOS ban standard requirements, China's textile manufacturers must use environmentally friendly textile auxiliaries; strong textile enterprises can speed up PFOS replacement products R & D and production technology upgrading, improve product environmental protection Requirements; SMEs should be a reasonable choice of environmentally friendly textile printing and dyeing production enterprises as long-term suppliers. At the same time, communicate with European importers as soon as possible to step up the selection, testing and application of alternative products so as to reduce the losses brought by the implementation of the directives.
