Plastic furniture industry ushers in new opportunities

China's furniture exports to the European Union and the United States account for 54% of the total furniture exports, which is the largest furniture export market in China.


However, the emergence of the following green barriers has had a huge impact on Chinese furniture manufacturers. First, the United States implemented the Composite Wood Products Formaldehyde Standards Act on July 1, 2011, which strictly limits the formaldehyde emission of wood products sold and wholesale in the United States, which is currently the world's stringent standard for formaldehyde emission; Second, on March 3, 2013, the European Union enforced the "Wood and Wood Products Regulations and the New Environmental Protection Design Directive" Jiuzheng Building Materials Network learned that the directive requires that all manufacturers in the wood production, processing and sales chain exported to the European Union in the future must obtain the FSC (Forest Certification) "identity card. However, it is not easy for enterprises to obtain the FSC certification. At present, only 10% of the world's certified wood is obtained, However, less than 1% of the wood can be certified in the Chinese market, which means that once a part of the product fails to meet the standard, the whole product will not be able to enter the European market.


In the face of the above barriers, enterprises must invest a lot of money and manpower to carry out technical transformation and improve the environmental quality. At the same time, they will also increase the relevant inspection, testing, certification, public relations and other related costs, and the cost of enterprises' export products will rise significantly; In addition to the multiple pressures of rising domestic raw material prices, rising labor costs, and appreciation of the RMB, Chinese furniture enterprises are facing a cold winter of sales.


In response, the inspection and quarantine department suggested that relevant enterprises: accelerate the transformation and upgrading, optimize the industrial structure, and enhance the core competitiveness of products; Make more innovations and create independent intellectual property brands; Take the industrial route of green environmental protection, and penetrate the concept of green environmental protection into the design of products; Adjust some suppliers and re-select raw materials that meet the certification requirements. For example, making plastic furniture blossom and bear fruit is a better choice.


Compared with the furniture made of wood, plastic furniture has a strong plasticity and can be processed into any shape. At the same time, it is rich in color and can play a role in beautifying the room by ingenious matching with other furniture. Zui Important, plastic furniture can be recycled and can reduce environmental pollution to a great extent. This is undoubtedly a major advantage for modern people who attach importance to environmental protection and quality of life. Therefore, it is increasingly valued by furniture, designers and manufacturers. Plastic furniture represents not only cheap, but also unique and elegant taste and new life interest. From the recent Milan International Furniture Exhibition, we can feel the return of plastic furniture trend, and plastic furniture will shine in China's furniture market.


When people are pursuing a large number of mahogany and leather, plastics, a little-known material, has been put on the stage, which at least shows that the tentacles of low-carbon economy have penetrated into all walks of life, which is the trend of the general environment.


Furniture is both a material product and an artistic creation. From simple necessities of life to the function of beautifying the living environment, furniture gradually plays an important role in people's life. Just like plastic furniture, which is widely used in the market with its diverse appearance and incomparably practical properties, although the market demand is constantly changing and improving, as long as everything starts from providing convenience for people, while ensuring product quality and constantly developing new functions, it can be selected by the market, and it can have a warm and bright spring, and it can have more development opportunities.
