"Low-carbon" sailing obstacles

Energy conservation and environmental protection promote the development of China's kitchen and toilet companies from scratch, from small to large, through the imitation, development stage, and gradually mature, there has been "whole kitchen", "healthy kitchen and toilet", "integrated kitchen and toilet" What is the focus of the next era when other concepts coexist?

"Low-carbon kitchen" - this has undoubtedly become a common knowledge of society. “Leader Li of the Organizing Committee of the 10th China International Cabinet and Kitchen & Bathroom Products and Technology Expo (CIKB)10 stated: “From the survey results, more than 60% of companies will do articles on 'low-carbon', but it is undeniable that Due to various reasons, low-carbon products are currently suffering from being left out."

Kitchen and kitchen brands sing "low carbon" brand

After experiencing the turmoil of the financial crisis, the Chinese kitchen and toilet brand has shown rapid and strong development momentum. Recently, the new kitchen and toilet industry is frequent and the technological content is getting higher and higher. Shuaikang "Five rings of fire" gas stove QA-108-C, increase the burning area, heat power up to 5.0KW; Gente water heater uses intelligent frequency conversion fan technology, gas consumption than before saved more than 15%; beautiful microwave oven AG025LC7-NSH With an efficient heat-generating device, the temperature of the cartridge can reach 160 degrees for more than 30 seconds, and the cooking efficiency can be nearly doubled. Everyone is invariably stamped with a “low-carbon” label to move in the same direction.

“Since the implementation of the new energy efficiency standard for gas water heaters by the state in July 2007, energy conservation and environmental protection have gradually become the theme of the kitchen and toilet industry,” said CI Director of the CIKB “10 Organizing Committee,” “In the 2009 exhibition, Evergreen, Wanjiale, and Wan Major companies like He and Vantage have exhibited “low-carbon” products, but they are slightly weaker in terms of overall packaging and overall promotion. According to the analysis of the statistical data of the companies participating in this year's exhibition, the concept of “low-carbon” will appear in 2010. ”

The road to low-carbon kitchens is not a good one

At the close of the Copenhagen climate change summit, some kitchen and toilet companies appealed that the government and other relevant departments should vigorously foster low-carbon technologies and comprehensively promote industrial upgrading in order to better cultivate new economic growth points. Yang Min, general manager of marketing at Gelteng Thermal Energy Technology (Zhongshan) Co., Ltd., admitted in an interview with the media that after the “low-carbon and energy-saving” products were put on the market for trial sale, they encountered many difficulties, especially the price, which the market could not fully recognize.

The new product bears more research and development costs, and it is not surprising that the price is high. If high-volume production can be achieved, the price will naturally drop. According to Director Li of CIKB'10 Organizing Committee, “In addition to price factors, companies’ promotion of products and social awareness of products also require a transitional period; in addition, inadequate support for relevant policies is also one of the reasons for the embarrassing situation. The current implementation of the 'Energy Saving Project for the People's Livelihood' has not fully benefited from low-carbon and energy-saving products. At the same time, compared with air-conditioners, refrigerators and other products with energy-efficiency standards, kitchens and kitchens seem to lack a corresponding 'scale'. ”

CIKB promotes the low-carbon process in the kitchen and toilet industry

The high cost of investing heavily in the development of new products seems to be “a common practice” for large-scale kitchen and bathroom companies. For most small and medium-sized enterprises, such investment is like “tightrope”, and one may accidentally fall. Broken bone.

CIKB "10 will jointly exhibit companies and the national environmental protection department, etc., launch the "future kitchen and living space" experience event, organize "low-carbon kitchen" forum, through the concept of global low-carbon trends, happy life, authority of the organization Combining organically and comprehensively spreading low-carbon kitchen and bathroom brands, CIKB "10 Organizing Committee Director Li said:" As an important part of the industrial chain of the kitchen and toilet industry, we have the responsibility to mobilize more favorable resources to accelerate the low carbon of kitchen and toilet. process."

Sanitary companies need to continuously develop themselves. The energy saving and environmental protection of sanitary products is also a key point, and development is the key step for the business.
