Some environmental problems of small and medium-sized enterprises

Three waste treatment technology level is limited

Enterprises inevitably produce waste in the process of production and processing, which is summed up as "waste water, solid waste (waste residue), waste gas". However, small and medium-sized enterprises for the treatment of these wastes is not perfect, some chemical enterprises even if the treatment of waste water, still can not reach the normal discharge standards, still contains a large number of concentrated acid, heavy alkali and other harmful substances; There are small and medium-sized material processing plants, for the waste slag to take the original incineration, but the result is more hazardous waste gas.

Sewage and cleaning equipment replacement maintenance problems

Although relevant departments will require enterprises to equip with sewage and cleaning equipment, for small and medium-sized enterprises with insufficient funds, they cannot invest enough human and material resources to maintain these environmental protection equipment. Unable to do regular maintenance of sewage cleaning equipment, no special personnel to replace and repair damaged and aging equipment, these situations have become the shackles of small and medium-sized enterprises unable to achieve clean production.

There is no sound environmental protection production and operation mechanism

Large enterprises often take environmental compliance into account before producing and processing products, so they will build a relatively sound environmental production operation mechanism, which is easier to achieve clean production. However, due to the limitations of development scale, capital cost and other factors, small and medium-sized enterprises often fail to establish a sound operation mechanism of environmental protection production, unable to do a good job of environmental protection indicators, internal inspection work, buried the hidden trouble of environmental protection problems.

Weak environmental awareness

In addition to limited capital and relatively backward technological level, small and medium-sized business owners' weak environmental awareness is also an important factor in environmental problems. Some small and medium-sized enterprises sometimes for their own local interests, or do not care about environmental protection laws and regulations, so there are intentional or inadvertent illegal discharge of waste.

The adverse impact of environmental problems on enterprises

External:

In December 2018, news broke that a chemical enterprise in Jiangsu had buried untreated waste residues in reclaimed land. These dangerous wastes containing cyanide seriously damaged local agricultural production and posed a major threat to people's health. Environmental problems of enterprises not only endanger the surrounding environment, but also endanger people's lives and health in serious cases.

Internally:

1. Benefit loss

Environmental problems in enterprises will not only damage the environment, but also endanger people's health. In recent years, the state has made great efforts to crack down on enterprises that fail to meet environmental protection targets. Many small and medium-sized enterprises have been shut down, and many enterprises have been restricted by the government to reduce production because of excessive waste discharge, which has directly caused the loss of enterprise benefits.

2. Goodwill injury

Once an enterprise is reported by the public or exposed by the news media for environmental problems, it will not only be punished by the government, but also have a serious impact on the brand image of the enterprise.

3. Waste of raw materials

A lot of waste is due to the low level of technology, in addition to producing a lot of waste, but also to varying degrees caused the waste of raw materials.

Faced with environmental problems, how should enterprises solve them?

Raise awareness of environmental protection

To solve the environmental problems of small and medium-sized enterprises, we should first improve the environmental awareness of business owners and even management. The managers of small and medium-sized enterprises should be willing to invest special funds, human and material resources, introduce and maintain clean sewage equipment, and do a good job in the internal environmental monitoring of waste. At the same time, for the whole production link, can carry out the relevant training of cleaner production, strengthen the environmental awareness of the whole company.

Optimize the hazardous waste treatment process

Environmental protection projects and hazardous waste treatment process of enterprises involve the distribution of civil construction, equipment, process pipelines and other facilities. Small and medium-sized enterprises can first introduce and build environmental protection facilities if resources allow, and then implement the detailed requirements of the government on environmental protection indicators of waste in the production process one by one to improve the technological level of waste treatment. Phasing out backward domestic discharge processes.

Establish internal accountability mechanisms

Establishing a good management system for environmental protection standards and an accountability mechanism for relevant persons will also play a positive role in solving environmental problems of enterprises. On the one hand, enterprises should do a good job of systematic management and maintenance of equipment, on the other hand, for the discharge of waste detection work, enterprises should be responsible to people, to ensure that the environmental standards, once the violation of the problem, the enterprise should be firmly accountable.
