How do circuit board manufacturers respond to the most stringent environmental protection new policy in history

On January 8, 2015, the Ministry of Environmental Protection notified the newly revised "Environmental Protection Law" four supporting measures, namely the "Environmental Protection Department's Implementation of Continuous Punishment Measures on a Day-to-day", "Environmental Protection Department's Implementation of Seizure and Seizure Measures", and " The environmental protection authorities implemented the Measures for Restriction of Production and Suspension of Production and the Measures for the Disclosure of Environmental Information of Enterprises and Institutions. The above measures were implemented as part of the 54 supporting measures of the new “Environmental Protection Law”, which were launched in January this year together with the new “Environmental Protection Law”. The implementation on the 1st will help environmental protection departments at all levels to implement the regulatory powers and methods conferred by the new environmental protection law. So in the face of such strict environmental protection policies, as a circuit boardmanufacturer, how should we deal with it?

As far as circuit board manufacturers are concerned, the types of pollutants are relatively concentrated, mainly COD and heavy metal copper pollution, no emissions of cyanide/cadmium/chromium and other highly toxic substances, and no carcinogenic, teratogenic, and genetic mutation-causing substances emission. Among them, the main heavy metal pollution component-copper ions, and copper ions are actually easier to remove through treatment. However, a small number of circuit board manufacturers do not understand the importance of environmental protection and clean production. Many companies’ wastewater treatment, wastewater reuse, clean production, etc. are for inspections, or for corresponding qualification certificates, and they have not been raised to the level of corporate social responsibility and legal. Treatment is simply extracting valuable precious metals, and then secretly discharging the remaining waste liquid that is useless to them into the river without processing, causing a lot of pollution, and it also causes the circuit board manufacturers to cause a lot of damage. Impression of environmental pollution.

Faced with increasingly severe environmental pressures and environmental protection policies, the author thinks that the following aspects should be the main starting point. First, circuit board manufacturers should strengthen industry standards and strengthen self-discipline, and industry associations should supervise the handling standards and strengths. Relevant government departments shall conduct regular and irregular supervision of production enterprises. Then it is necessary to start from the technical aspect to solve the pollution problem. The future development direction of environmental protection should be energy saving, emission reduction, consumption reduction, resource regeneration, efficient environmental protection technology, and more and more physical and biological treatment methods to replace traditional chemical treatment technologies.
As long as we follow scientific methods and strive to continuously save energy and reduce consumption in the circuit board production process, while introducing new processes and high-efficiency technologies, circuit board manufacturers will definitely be able to get rid of the misunderstandings of polluting enterprises and truly restore the characteristics of their high-tech enterprises. Of course, the strict environmental protection policy has been resolved.
