Lining'S Official Website Yesterday'S Zero Emissions Pledge

In November 18th, Lining's official website publicized the text of "Lining's promise to achieve zero emissions".

The following is the official website of Lining:

Based on the precautionary principle [1] and our overall thinking on water resources management, Lining agrees: after a generation of [2] or shorter time efforts, we achieve the goal of "3 zero emissions [4] of hazardous chemicals in the supply chain and product life cycle through systematic changes.

Lining [5] promised to zero chemical emissions by 2020.

Lining will gradually deactivate harmful chemicals from the supply chain, especially speed up the elimination of hazardous substances (6).

We will continue to engage in communication and cooperation with other brands, materials suppliers, extensive chemical industry, non-governmental organizations and other stakeholders. We will continue to innovate solutions to achieve pparency in chemicals management information.

We realize that achieving this ideal goal must be based on innovation and green chemistry (7), and we must rely on the cooperation and participation of a wide range of inter industry and administrative functions.

Our commitment and commitment to this ideal goal and our commitment to systematic change are unwavering.

We realize that the principle of "8" should be chosen according to the principle of "zero emissions". It is important and necessary to disclose the mechanism and pparency of hazardous substances used in the global supply chain.

Our capacity shares recognizes that industry brand writing is the top priority because supply chain is highly complex and coincident.

We promise to work together with other brands to find new cooperative solutions and solve the existing obstacles. Lining will continue to share the methods and tools he knows and share the progress of the comprehensive management of chemicals.

We are committed to building the best time for local brand environmental protection and social responsibility. We jointly work together with international brands to draft and sign a zero emission road map of hazardous chemicals, and include the action plan and time point we believe to achieve our stated goals from the reality of our own brand.

At the end of 2011, we will publish a list of the restricted substances contained in eleven chemical substances in the joint roadmap. At the end of 2012, we will update the draft list of restricted substances.

[1] the precautionary principle is that when a behavior may be harmful to health or the environment, according to available evidence, precautionary measures should be taken beforehand - in time the extent of its harm is not fully scientifically proven.

The precautionary principle recognizes that it may be impossible to formalized its harmfulness before injury is irrevocable or has already been created.

The process of applying the precautionary principle must include an omnidirectional study of all alternative possibilities. If there are no ready alternatives, it is necessary to continuously develop and find all alternatives.

[2] a generation usually refers to 20-25 years.

However, we hope to accelerate the process of eliminating and replacing hazardous substances through active collaboration with suppliers of materials and chemicals and innovation in green chemistry.

[3] identification of hazardous chemicals is carried out by assessing the intrinsic hazard properties of substances. The inherent hazard attributes include persistence, bioaccumulation and toxicity (PBT), very persistent and very bioaccumulation (vPvB), carcinogenic, mutagenic and reproductive toxicity (CMR) and endocrine disrupting chemicals (ED), or other attributes of equal concern.

[4] zero emission means elimination of all possible hazardous substances emitted from the supply chain and products.

[5] Lining brand Lining group bet on the brand of the controlling shareholder.

[6] we will pay the highest level of attention to chemicals that may have greater risks to consumers, workers and the environment.

7. Green chemistry refers to the reduction or elimination of the use and production of substances harmful to human health and the environment from the perspective of design, development and application of chemical products and processes.

The main purpose of green chemistry is to actively prevent pollution and to use its safer chemical process.

(8) the right to know is defined as information for the public to obtain environmental information, especially the use and discharge of chemicals.

The information is based on the amount of hazardous chemicals released annually by factories in the environment.
