Chinese Home Appliance Exports Increased By 10% The Cost Competitiveness Of A Percent Drop

The European Commission announced “on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive” (WEEE Directive) officially implemented, it marks the EU’s export of electrical appliances manufacturers will assume payment responsibility for end of life product recovery costs. At the same time, the EU has adopted a separate “electrical and electronic equipment on the Prohibition of the Use of Certain Hazardous Substances Directive” (ROHS Directive) requirements were introduced: in the July 1, 2006 after the EU market of electrical and electronic products will not contain mercury, cadmium, lead and six kinds of harmful substances.

WEEE and ROHS both the green hanging his head long sword to plunge, household electrical appliance enterprises must pay a high economic price. European Commission latest bulletin shows that the implementation of the EU WEEE directive a year the full cost estimated to reach from 500 million to 900 million euros. For the EU as the largest export destination for Chinese home appliance enterprises, production costs will rise by 10%.

Throw an old refrigerator to spend 20 euros

In the EU, the average citizen produces 14 kg per year of waste electrical waste, is 3 times the other parts of the city. Therefore, the EU’s WEEE directive, which limits both on the consumer, but also for manufacturers and

Dealers Provisions made. For consumers, they can no longer simply fling trouble Waste Electrical and Electronic Products, the manufacturers and distributors, they must establish their own production of waste electrical appliance recycling system.

The European Commission for the recovery of these old electrical relevant calculations, the implementation of this directive from the European Union has been formulated by the state charges

Standard Of view, the maximum recovery of cost of the refrigerator 20 euros each,

Washing machine And Air conditioning 10 euro each, 5 each microwave oven, and other small appliances as per 1 euro.

Under the implementation plan, December 31, 2006, the EU Member States should ensure that the recovery rate of 4 kilograms per person per year.

Chinese appliance costs increased by 10%

According to EU estimates, the total cost of recycling electrical appliances around from 300 million to 600 million euros will be used for the collection of scrap electrical and electronic equipment for recycling, reuse and re-

Cycle Costs about two hundred million to 300 million euros. The resulting price increases for most appliances is about 1%, refrigerator, television and

Monitors Such price increase is 2% to 3%. Another plus for the home appliance manufacturers ROHS directive limits of raw materials, the two combined, according to industry estimates, China’s home appliance exports will cost about 10% uplift.

“About the EU export market for China’s home appliances 1 / 4, while in

China’s exports European Union Electrical Products will be directly affected by the product Qicheng ‘double green directive’ influence. “Tian Hui, senior engineer of China Academy of home appliances, said:” After the implementation of the EU series of new regulations, China’s household electrical appliance production costs will rise, relying on the price advantage of Chinese products further when compared with foreign products, integrated

Competition Less power will be greater than 10%. “

Upper parts enterprises face reshuffle However, for some “rainy day” Chinese home appliance enterprises, the “double green direction” of not so great. Earlier this year,

Haier Group has invested nearly 400 million in the Qingdao Plant transformation of the three

LCD TV Production line, a “zero-lead project”;

Hisense Group has completed production line transformation of lead-free soldering process, the related selection or development of alternatives such as;

TCL Then established a special “deal with the European Commission” has now established three meet the EU requirements for lead-free production lines, realized in the production process of “lead-free

Welding . ” By the EU test of electronic products, components are often carried out testing, not testing machine. This makes the transformation of their production technology in the enterprise, while the upstream need to find ways to make their products to achieve lead-free accessories.

Skyworth , Panasonic and other enterprises to develop a green procurement program, and asking suppliers to provide the capacitance upstream resistance is also a “lead-free” transformation, and thus eliminate the source of 6 hazardous substances occur.

“Accessory for many domestic small and medium enterprises, lead-free production of high investment required for technology upgrades will enable them to have to opt out.” SEPA Policy Research Center for Environment and Economy, Dr. Dong-Mei States that some companies were forced out in the same time, some high-quality small and medium enterprises should actively guide the government departments to change their “ideas” to adapt to the new market environment.

EU for attempting to export technology for profit

“The new EU regulation is not simply limited to the export of household electrical appliances in China, but would like to take advantage of new regulations to implement its own manufacturing technology export earnings.” Directive for the EU’s green, the State Council Development Research Center of Market Economy Research Institute Deputy Director Lu Renbo have a deeper view: “The new regulations will lead to the production technology, raw materials, household electrical appliances increase, and these technologies and related industries in Europe are to be transferred. rely on the output of manufacturing technology, developed countries will once again benefited greatly. “

Present, China’s home appliance industry has become a global leader in the continued occupation of the international market, the home appliance industry, some of the core technology is a breakthrough after another by domestic enterprises. If this situation continues to develop, China is expected to mechanical and electrical industry will be a short time out of the current “OEM export” of an awkward position. The EU introduced at this time, the “double green direction”, in improving the European long-term environment, not only to curb the export volume of electromechanical products in China, but also force the Chinese mechanical and electrical enterprises to adopt the EU’s new technology, once again be active, to seek more profits.
