With the deepening of the concept of environmental protection, the government has begun to pay attention to environmental protection in the procurement of furniture, and gradually strengthen the assessment of the environmental value of purchased products. Although some furniture procurement projects clearly stipulate in the bidding documents: “Bidders must provide ISO9000 international quality management system certification and ISO14000 environmental management system certificationâ€, and “production finished products must provide a certificate of quality issued by the quality inspection department that is valid until the date of opening the bid. "If the relevant qualifications prove, in fact, there is no substantive assessment of the purchased products.
At present, the purchase of furniture is more concerned about the energy conservation and environmental protection of the terminal products. The assessment of environmental protection of products is limited to the restrictions on harmful substances such as formaldehyde and heavy metals in furniture materials. The procurement entity has little environmental protection assessment for the entire life cycle of product design, production, and recycling.
The government's behavior of carrying out environmental protection control over the entire life cycle of a product is reflected in the assessment of the company's shortlisted environmental protection list. In accordance with relevant regulations, enterprises must enter the environmental protection list, and all aspects of their product life cycle must meet environmental protection requirements, including product design, raw material procurement, and product production. In addition, corporate pollution emissions must also meet local standards. In government procurement, “products listed in the environmental protection list†can be set as a plus item in the assessment, but the purchasing unit does not necessarily require the bidder to be an enterprise in the environmental protection list.
It is understood that in the government procurement, the concept of “full life cycle cost†was proposed as early as 2011, but in practice, there is almost no project that introduces the concept of “full life cycle costâ€. In recent years, the Tianjin Municipal Government Procurement Center has tried to explore the environmental energy consumption assessment from the perspective of the product life cycle. The procurement center requires enterprises to carry out strict environmental protection checks throughout the life cycle from product design, production and use to product elimination and scrapping. Initial results. At present, this method of comprehensive evaluation and review is mostly used to purchase vehicles, electronic products, household appliances, etc. In the procurement of furniture, whether the products are environmentally friendly or not depends on whether the hazardous substances are within the limits.
Zhu Changling, chairman of the China Furniture Association, believes that the so-called environmentally friendly products, one refers to the selection of materials without pollution or less pollution, the second refers to the environmental hazards in the production process is small, and the third refers to recyclable. Therefore, judging whether furniture is environmentally friendly cannot only assess the selection of furniture. It should be comprehensively considered in conjunction with the entire life cycle of furniture. It is obviously not comprehensive enough to divide furniture according to compliance or non-compliance.
On the other hand, environmentally friendly products do not have an advantage in terms of price. Comprehensive consideration of environmentally-friendly furniture throughout the product life cycle will definitely increase the cost of government procurement budgets. Therefore, comprehensive consideration of furniture environmental protection requires joint efforts of procurement entities. The government should change the calculation method of traditional procurement costs, refine the procurement budget, and strive to incorporate the design, materials, production, packaging, marketing and other processes of products into the scope of assessment, and strengthen supervision over compliance acceptance. Enterprises should also change the short-sighted concept of pursuing local interests maximization, and strive to improve cost control and share with the government.
