It Is Imperative For Shoe Enterprises To "Green Produce" Shoe Glue

　　 "Even big brands contain harmful chemicals. Who should we trust?"

You may not think that the clothes and shoes you wear every day may damage your health. Recently, a test report released by Greenpeace, an international environmental protection agency, showed that some world famous outdoor sports brands include Adidas , TheNorthFace, JackWolfskin and other 14 brands. The materials used are perfluorinated compounds (PFC), which are harmful to health and the environment.

The disclosure of the news has attracted the attention of consumers. In response to this authoritative report, adidas China headquarters made a commitment: "to lead the garment and footwear industry to achieve zero emissions of harmful chemicals in all products and manufacturing processes in our supply chain by 2020". From this sentence, consumers are surprised to find that it will be 18 years before the entire shoemaking industry realizes zero emission of harmful chemicals, and consumers still need to wear shoes that are harmful to the body or the environment for 18 years. "Even big brands contain harmful chemicals, who should we trust when we wear clothes and shoes in the future?" Some consumers complained on Sina Weibo!

　　 The storm rises suddenly, and people in shoe enterprises are in danger

"This is still a promise. It really needs to be fully realized. I don't know how long it will take. In other words, if the shoemaking industry doesn't take relevant measures, basically every ordinary consumer in China will have to wear shoes that are harmful to the body or the environment indefinitely." A shoemaker commented.

According to the analysis of relevant foreign shoe industry authorities, the annual output of shoes in China is about 6.5 billion pairs, while the shoemaking industry is a high energy consumption and high pollution industry. The huge output makes the industry become an invisible "executioner" of environmental pollution. Adidas directly affiliated factories and more than 300 OEM factories in China employ a total of more than 300000 employees, who may suffer health injuries due to the volatilization of harmful chemicals in the process of shoe production. The whole shoemaking industry has tens of millions of workers, and the social occupational disease poisoning caused by this should not be underestimated. Once Adidas disclosed that the materials it used contained perfluorinated compounds (PFC), which were harmful to health and the environment, well-known domestic shoe enterprises were worried about their own brands.

　　 Shoes enterprises need "green production", and it is imperative to make shoe glue more flexible

In recent years, in terms of environmental protection Shoemaking The appeal of industry is growing. As we all know, the pollutants discharged in the process of shoe production have great harm to the human body and the climate environment. So, what kind of pollutants have great harmful effects on human body and climate environment? According to experts' analysis, one of the main sources of pollution in the footwear industry at present is the unreasonable selection of shoe adhesives. In particular, the solvent glue used in the sole bonding process even caused panic among front-line shoemakers.

From the reports of glue poisoning events in recent years, we found that the solvent based glue used in shoemaking contains harmful voc such as dichloroethane, benzene and formaldehyde, which not only poses a direct threat to human health, but also causes serious pollution to the environment. If shoe enterprises want to completely avoid the harm caused by solvent based glue, they must use environmentally friendly and non-toxic water-based adhesive.

Shoes enterprises want "green production" to meet the requirements of the state and the public for environmental protection. They should focus on "environmental protection" from material selection to product sales Shoe material The indispensable auxiliary material, shoe glue, should be paid more attention to, and its water-based is imperative!
