• Q&A AT ROUND-TABLE CONFERENCE

 

    Environmental protection department and emergency management department organize too much inspections against enterprises, and apply the same standard for different products with different features.

    Adopted. Currently, the "random selection of inspection subjects and law enforcement personnel" mode is applied. For specific problems, special actions are also taken. Sometimes, two kinds of inspections may be organized simultaneously, thus increasing the inspection frequency. We will strengthen the internal communication between law enforcement with relevant departments, and further promote the construction of a credit system for safe production, and leverage certain support in law enforcement frequency and some permits to good credit enterprises that abide by laws and regulations.

    The company has about 8 tons of antibacterial hand sanitizer with an alcohol content of 59%, stored in a warehouse somewherein Jiangsu. These products need to be scrapped as the expiration date approaches, so the company applies for disposing them locally out of Shanghai.

    Generally, antibacterial hand sanitizer is classified as solid waste rather than hazardous wastes. For solid waste, location-based disposal principle applies. As per regulations of Jiangsu Province on management of general solid waste and requirements of local ecological environment bureau, the general solid waste sampling is reported and managed online. Thus, the company may hand over this batch of solid waste to enterprise with disposal capacity for safe disposal, with relevant records made.

    Halt production during major events. The enterprise strictly follows environmental protection regulations, but it is still ordered to shut down its production lines in case of major and large conferences in Shanghai, significantly impacting its production and operation. It is suggested that preferential treatment shall be given to enterprises strictly following the environmental protection regulations to maximally shorten the shutdown time during large conferences.

    In pollution control organized in autumn and winter, for production lines satisfying relevant emission standards but still having large amount of total pollutant emission, Shanghai Municipal Bureau of Ecology and Environment has friendly and full negotiation with these enterprises and encourages them to reduce pollution emission during this period by reasonably arranging production plans. Next step, we will further optimize emission control measures, including emergency plan control measures, and fully implement relevant work in combination with the actual conditions of enterprises.
