Green products are pollution-free and pollution-free products. They have less environmental pollution in the production process, are beneficial to public health in the use process, and are easy to be recycled and disposed in the waste stage. At present, there are nearly 500 kinds of green products certified in China, which are mainly divided into the following six kinds according to their environmental protection characteristics:
1. International Performance
In order to restrict the pollution situation of all countries in the world, a series of environmental protection agreements have been issued one after another in the world, and China is one of the implementing countries of these agreements. In June 1991, the Chinese government signed the International Convention for the protection of the ozone layer, namely the Montreal Protocol. This means that China will replace CFC products in two steps in 2000 and 2010, such as fluorine-free refrigerators and sanitary insecticide aerosol.
2. Renewable and recyclable
Using recycled waste products for reproduction can not only save a lot of resources, but also reduce waste pollution. At the same time, compared with using raw materials to produce waste products, energy consumption is lower and pollution emission is less, which is particularly prominent in the paper industry. Recycled paper and recycled plastics are such green products.
3. Improving regional environmental quality
Some products, such as disposable foam lunch boxes and phosphorous washing powder, will cause regional environmental pollution. Degradable plastics, phosphate free washing powder and mercury free batteries are green products that can effectively alleviate regional environmental quality.
4. Improve the quality of living environment
After the gradual maturity of Chinese consumers, the quality of living environment has been put on the agenda. Indoor air quality and noise level are the two most important indicators of indoor environmental quality, so consumers pay more and more attention to their environmental behavior when buying furniture and household appliances. Low noise washing machine and low formaldehyde compound wood floor are all such green products.
5. Protection of human health
At present, such products are attracting the general attention of consumers, such as the radiation of mobile communication products, television sets, personal computers, etc., and the dyes in general clothing are absorbed through the skin and have carcinogenicity to the human body. This kind of green products basically belong to the avant-garde products in green technology, representing a trend and development trend, and will gradually eliminate traditional products.
6. Improve the utilization of resources and energy
Before the revolutionary leap of the world's resources and energy technology, people are vigorously developing energy-saving products and improving the comprehensive utilization rate of resources and energy. Energy saving computers, energy-saving lamps and so on belong to this kind of green products.
