It’s already September in the blink of an eye, and a new month has begun, but what follows are the invasions of major “storms”. Boss Bu, can you escape?
1. The fourth batch of environmental protection inspectors came to the rescue
The fourth batch of central environmental protection inspections will end on September 11, there are still 10 days left~ It is reported that the fourth batch of central environmental protection inspection teams mainly target Jilin, Zhejiang, Shandong, Hainan, Sichuan, Tibet, Qinghai, and Xinjiang (including Xinjiang Xinjiang) The inspection work has been carried out, which currently has a greater impact on Zhejiang and Shandong. At present, the rectification activities have entered the sinking stage, and we cannot rule out the possibility of a sudden “backlash” to increase the intensity of rectification.
2. National inspection of production safety by 31 inspection teams in September
A new notice from the State Administration of Work Safety: 31 inspection teams will be organized to carry out comprehensive inspections of production safety across the country in September. The time will be from early September to the end of September. The specific departure time will be determined by each inspection team. Focus on random inspections of enterprises and personnel-intensive places in coal mines, non-coal mines, transportation, construction, hazardous chemicals, fireworks and firecrackers, dust operations, fire protection, urban gas and other industries.
3. Starting from October, enterprises producing without certificates and licenses will be investigated and punished.
Notice from the State Council: Starting from October 1st, production by unlicensed and unlicensed enterprises will be strictly investigated and punished! In other words, unlicensed and unlicensed enterprises must obtain all the required certificates in September, and it is not simply an environmental impact assessment, Just buy environmental protection equipment and install environmental protection facilities and everything will be fine. It also depends on whether the company’s business premises are in an industrial planning area or an industrial park that complies with the planning, and whether there are standardized industrial and commercial, project establishment, land, planning, environmental impact assessment, fire protection and other procedures.
4. Raw material and commodity prices are rising, making it difficult for enterprises to support
Due to environmental protection, export, maintenance, accidents and other reasons, the prices of major raw materials, products, additives, etc. have been increasing to a greater or lesser extent recently. It is easy to rise but difficult to fall. The widely rumored “Golden Nine and Silver Ten” may turn into a “peak season when you don’t dare to take orders.” In addition, there are rising prices, which directly affect people’s livelihood. Not only do you have to face the rising prices of your company’s raw materials, you also have to face rising prices in your daily life. If your factory is shut down for rectification at the same time, then you have to face the rising prices. Faced with the dilemma of no wages.
5. Hurricane Harvey hits U.S. petrochemicals hard
Hurricane Harvey severely damaged the refining and petrochemical centers of the United States, shutting down more than 1/3 of the chemical production capacity. The Associated Press reported that about 10 refineries were closed, which means that more than 15% of the refining capacity was shut down. In other words, the U.S.’s 18 billion barrels of refining capacity per day was wiped out by Harvey by nearly 3 billion barrels. Hurricane Harvey is currently having a huge impact on the United States, and methanol futures have skyrocketed. It is not yet known what impact it will have on the raw material market, but judging from the past, it has had more or less impact on the raw material market.
6. Difficulty in collecting payment and shortage of funds
The new month of January has begun, and as a boss, you have to face payment reminders once a month. Nowadays, it is difficult for buyers to get money. Maybe you are still pressing for payment from a few years ago. However, raw material factories, gray fabric factories, printing and dyeing factories, and coating factories all take delivery in cash. Do you still have enough funds?
How does Mr. Bu feel about the coming of these six “storms”? The editor investigated and interviewed some companies, and the results were mixed. Most of the discussions were based on the “good” or “bad” aspects of environmental protection improvement.
