When is the lead-acid battery "hide and seek" game?

In 2011, the government launched an unprecedented purge of lead-acid battery companies. In August 2011, the Ministry of Environmental Protection issued an announcement that 80% of the country's nearly 2,000 lead-acid battery companies have been ordered to shut down. However, the reporter’s investigation found that due to the large market demand for lead-acid batteries, low industry barriers, and inadequate local government supervision, many lead-acid battery companies that have been ordered to suspend production and rectify have already resumed production without authorization and continue to pollute the local environment.

Many lead-acid battery polluting enterprises have disregarded the ban, and the top winds commit crimes and produce as usual. This can not help but make people wonder: that glorious victory is really like it? Can not help but ask people to ask: why lead-acid sewage can stay in the "storm" and change the situation, business as usual? When will this "hide and seek" game end?

At present, there are nearly 2,000 lead-acid battery companies in China, and only 200 enterprises with an output value of more than 5 million yuan. The remaining 1,800 are all workshop-type companies, and some have no production licenses, let alone cleaner production. Against this background, the country's major efforts to rectify the lead-acid battery industry is indeed a wise move to comply with public opinion. However, if it is impossible to fundamentally eliminate the worship of local government GDP, clear the “GDP thinking” of the government and the company’s mercenary, refine and strengthen the supervision, the effect of rectification will be greatly reduced, and the company will still “you have a good plan, I There have been wall ladders."

For a long time, the distorted "performance outlook" of local governments has been staring at GDP. As long as it can stimulate economic growth, health protection distances may also be approved. It is not uncommon for polluting companies to have "environmental pacesetters" at their heads. To solve the problem of lead-acid battery companies "hiding cats and dogs", the premise is that all levels of government departments must take the bravery and determination of the brave men to change their inherent development model and get rid of "GDP worship." Let environmental protection be a solid and powerful force-reversing mechanism. The government, industry, and companies will work together to improve the access threshold and concentration of lead-acid batteries, change the industrial layout, enhance the level of process and automation, and improve the recovery of lead-acid batteries. System and so on.

Under the current consensus of “one-vote veto for environmental protection”, strict environmental protection requirements and strong regulatory and punishment mechanisms must be on the scene. Many countries have strict and perfect environmental protection regulations for enterprises, and their experiences can be used for reference. Foreign countries’ fines of several hundred million yuan, several billion yuan, and several tens of billions of dollars for polluting enterprises can cause them to bankrupt. It is also true that foreign companies will use environmental protection as a goal rather than a means, and they will do it at no cost. Process modification and upgrades.

In contrast, China's regulatory system will appear to be lagging behind, and companies will have the potential to exploit loopholes. Facts have proved that once there is no follow-up supervision by the relevant government departments, but only to engage in sports, once the company stops without rectification, it is not surprising that the pollution companies will be rekindled after the wind blows!

The curbs in the lead-acid battery industry cannot be taken away by a sweeping wind, but the "GDP thinking" that clears the government and enterprises' profits and the long-term strengthening and improvement of the supervision system must be carried out to the end. In this way, in order to eliminate the pollution of the living soil, so that "hide and seek" pollution companies have nowhere to hide!
