Furniture misunderstanding environmental protection ≠ purchase solid wood furniture

With the results of a series of results, such as the 0% pass rate of "all solid wood" furniture sampling announced by the Provincial Consumer Protection Committee and the Provincial Furniture and Hardware Research Institute, the integrity of the solid wood furniture industry is facing full torture.

However, after the survey results were exposed for two weeks, the author once again visited the East China furniture, new era, and peaceful furniture and other furniture markets and found that many consumers are still enthusiasm for solid wood furniture, knowing the current market conditions. . Of the 10 consumers interviewed, 7 saw reports related to the investigation of solid wood furniture, 4 of which indicated that they still considered choosing solid wood furniture. "The market is chaos for our consumers, but I personally still think that buying solid wood furniture is more environmentally friendly and it can only be used for a long time. I have to pay attention to it when choosing." said Ms. Lee, who bought solid wood furniture in the East China furniture market. "My parents use solid wood furniture. They have always said that solid wood furniture is more environmentally friendly and is safe to use." After 80, Xiao Xu also plans to pick a solid wood furniture home in the new era.

Jiang Hongyuan, chairman of the Provincial Furniture Association, pointed out that many consumers have this idea when buying furniture: only buying solid wood furniture is environmentally friendly and healthy. "This is actually a misunderstanding. Businesses have just grasped this kind of mentality. To cater to the preferences of consumers, they have had all sorts of shoddy and unrealistic tricks."

Unreal solid wood furniture does not fly

According to Liang Gong, a senior engineer at Zhejiang Institute of Furniture and Hardware, the furniture on the market can be roughly divided into solid wood furniture, wood-based panel furniture, and integrated furniture (that is, panel-wood furniture). “According to our random inspection, 12 solid wood furniture brands that have been sampled are all wood-bonded furniture. There are doped density boards, blockboards, and other parts in drawer bottoms, wardrobe backs, dining chairs, etc. The phenomenon of plywood and other wood-based panels, and the country has mandatory requirements for enterprises to indicate the amount of formaldehyde released from furniture, but nowadays few companies seem to do this."

At the same time, Wu Bingsheng, who once served as the deputy general manager of the peace furniture, revealed that the current status of the furniture industry is rather chaotic, and there are many companies and manufacturers who want to save trouble. Some manufacturers in order to catch the "solid wood furniture" this wind, the use of cheap materials made of furniture impersonating solid wood furniture, to attract consumers at low prices, the products produced do not have all kinds of certification, and some even do not have business licenses In a hurry to “put in battle”, quality and environmental protection are even more inconceivable.

As a result, "green furniture" has always been valued as "environmental protection", in the current situation can still serve as a strong market competition point? Does the purchase of "solid wood furniture" by consumers achieve the expected environmental effects? This is indeed a question worth considering.

Non-wood furniture is not necessarily not environmentally friendly

"Of course, there is a concept that must be corrected, that is, non-wood furniture is not necessarily not environmentally friendly, the key is to see whether the quality of the product is qualified, consumers must first understand the specific definition of environmental protection." Jiang Hongyuan said that the so-called Environmental furniture does not mean that products do not contain formaldehyde or benzene at all, but whether their safety levels are within the nationally recognized standards. The National Compulsory Standard GB18584-2001 “Restrictions on Hazardous Substances in Wood Furniture for Interior Decoration Materials” promulgated in 2001 and still in use has clearly stipulated that the formaldehyde emission of furniture should be less than or equal to 1.5 mg/L. Furniture within this range is environmentally friendly. of. So even real wood furniture cannot make zero formaldehyde. On the other hand, many brands with excellent quality can also meet this standard in panel furniture and board-wood furniture.

According to Li Yichun, general manager of Beijing Yifeng Furniture Hangzhou area, the panels used in panel furniture are divided into three major categories according to their environmental performance. From high to low, they are: solid wood particle board, which is mainly crushed by the trunk of the tree, and is pressed at high temperature and high pressure. Made of; particleboard, solid wood particles smaller, uneven arrangement, with glue; density board, made from branches, leaves, tree rakes, recycled furniture plus a lot of glue. “Regular manufacturers produce panel furniture. Each product has a test report provided by the manufacturer, which indicates how much formaldehyde is released from the product (more commonly, it is ≤1.5 mg/L, E1 grade; ≤0.5 mg/L. E0 grade standard), whether the physical and chemical properties of the paint film and other indicators, the product used in the plate, paint, glue, hardware and other materials, there will be all materials manufacturers to provide a certificate of authorization, to eliminate consumer quality and environmental protection Concern.” Consumers can visit the official website of the relevant brand before viewing the above information.

This shows that "environmental protection" is not an exclusive label for solid wood furniture. Consumers should also purchase furniture in a more objective and rational manner according to their own actual conditions and decoration style.

Elevator Modernization

Elevator modernization (or lift modernisation) is the process of upgrading the critical parts of the elevator in order for it to be able to handle new technology, have better performance, improve safety, and even give the aesthetics an up-to-date appeal


Most elevators are built to provide about 20 years of service, as long as service intervals specified and periodic maintenance/inspections by the manufacturer are followed. As the elevator ages and equipment become increasingly difficult to find or replace, along with code changes and deteriorating ride performance, a complete overhaul of the elevator may be suggested to the building owners.

A typical modernization consists of controller equipment, electrical wiring and buttons, position indicators and direction arrows, hoist machines and motors (including door operators), and sometimes door hanger tracks. Rarely are car slings, rails, or other heavy structures changed. The cost of an elevator modernization can range greatly depending on which type of equipment is to be installed.

Modernization can greatly improve operational reliability by replacing mechanical relays and contacts with solid-state electronics. Ride quality can be improved by replacing motor-generator-based drive designs with Variable-Voltage, Variable Frequency (VVVF) drives, providing near-seamless acceleration and deceleration. Passenger safety is also improved by updating systems and equipment to conform to current codes.

Benefits of elevator modernization

Modernization can greatly improve operational reliability by replacing mechanical relays and contacts with solid-state electronics. Ride quality can be improved by replacing motor-generator-based drive designs with Variable-Voltage, Variable Frequency (VVVF) drives, providing near-seamless acceleration and deceleration. Passenger safety is also improved by updating systems and equipment (such as double brake system, unintended car movement protection device on the brake system etc.) to conform to current codes.
