Environmental protection and low carbon first, bamboo furniture may become "New star "
Low carbon has now become a topic of common concern in all walks of life. Low carbon, environmental protection, and energy saving have become common keywords for furniture companies, and bamboo furniture is catering to the trend of the low carbon era and will also lead the transformation and upgrading of the furniture industry. The 23rd session of the famous furniture exhibition, the first bamboo furniture and bamboo application theme exhibition has achieved great success. During the exhibition period and after the exhibition, the order of bamboo products and technology transfer amounted to nearly 100 million yuan. In order to better promote the application of bamboo in household products, Dongguan International Famous Furniture Design R & D Institute has set up a bamboo application research and development center.
Zhou Yu, an associate researcher and master's supervisor of the Chinese Academy of Forestry, believes that low-carbon life is an old and trendy topic. Harmony between ancient people and nature is a low-carbon life, but a problem caused by the excessive expansion of modern industrial civilization. It also makes people start to pay attention to low carbon.
What is low carbon
The low-carbon theme of the Copenhagen Summit and the completion of the zero-carbon pavilion at the Shanghai Expo, low-carbon has become the focus of attention. Low carbon, lowcarbon in English, means lower, lower greenhouse gas carbon dioxide emissions. Disseminate the concept of low-carbonlife to the world, and low-carbon has a bearing on your health.
What is low-carbon furniture
Green low-carbon furniture refers to the natural materials used, energy saving, no harmful substances, no harmful gas release, easy to recycle and reuse. The core concepts of low-carbon furniture are energy saving, emission reduction, health, and environmental protection. It emphasizes people-oriented, respects life and health, and builds a harmonious society.
Third, low-carbon furniture standards
The materials used for low-carbon furniture should be environmentally friendly, preferably natural environmentally friendly materials. Timber, rattan, and bamboo are the most natural environmentally friendly materials. However, the current flooding of wood by human beings has caused damage to the ecological environment, especially precious woods such as Huanghuali and rosewood are becoming scarce. Although furniture made of these materials is valuable, human beings should protect it and cherish its existence. Rattan and bamboo are the best natural materials, especially rattan. They are recommended by the United Nations Environmental Protection Organization as green and environmentally friendly room materials.
1.Low carbon production process
In the production process of low-carbon furniture, energy saving and emission reduction must be achieved, and the emission of harmful gases must be reduced, and no harmful substances should be contained. Especially the content of formaldehyde should not exceed the standard. Some inferior synthetic MDFs have too high formaldehyde content. Furniture produced from this material increases the emission of harmful gases and causes great damage to the environment and human health. At the same time, in the process of large-scale production of furniture, how to improve the technical level, achieve energy saving and reduce carbon dioxide emissions will be very important.
Some properties of materials can be artificially woven to produce artistic furniture without pollution, which is very suitable for the low-carbon requirements of the production process.
2.Low carbon use suitable for living environment
Furniture and people live with each other, especially in closed home environments. After the renovation of many new houses, the smell is strong, the formaldehyde content exceeds the standard, and the emitted carbon dioxide gas is high, which will cause great damage to human health. Furniture sits close to and embraces people. If the furniture contains harmful substances and emits more harmful gases, the damage to the human body will be direct. Especially for pregnant women, for the healthy growth of future generations, they should use green
The use of furniture should save energy. With the global warming and modern urban life, summertime relies on air conditioning. In fact, air-conditioning not only wastes energy, but also easily weakens human immunity. Leather furniture and fabric furniture are comfortable to sit, but the air permeability is poor. Especially in summer, the chances of using leather furniture and fabric furniture to open the air conditioner are increased, which not only does not save energy, but also increases living expenses. Therefore, one of the low-carbon functions of furniture will be low-carbon use.
Why are bamboo furniture lower in carbon?
A short film about bamboo, "Bamboo: Ten Facts About the Wise," premiered at the India Pavilion at the Shanghai World Expo on the evening of July 14th, and held a theme discussion. Participating experts believe that policy makers in various countries should try to formulate preferential policies to promote the sustainable product design and technology development of bamboo, so that green building materials such as bamboo and rattan appear in the homes of more ordinary cities.
Little bamboo and rattan, huge market energy. According to the information provided by the International Bamboo and Rattan Organization, there are about 1,200 kinds of bamboo and 600 kinds of rattan in the world. Bamboo and rattan are closely related to the lives of 2.5 billion people in the world. In China, 35 million people are related to bamboo and rattan industry and products. At present, the global bamboo and rattan trade volume has reached 5 billion US dollars per year, providing an important source of income for many small and medium-sized enterprises.
However, with the rapid development of technology, various products produced from bamboo have been gradually replaced, and bamboo has become more widely used today. The function of comprehensive utilization of bamboo is constantly expanding, and the utility is continuously expanding. The fields involved in bamboo products Gradually expand.
In order to use bamboo materials reasonably and make full use of the characteristics of bamboo materials to make bamboo furniture full of color and style changes, the bamboo materials must be intercepted, degreased, rectified, polished, bleached, dyed, or artificially stained before being made.These are collectively referred to as For the processing of bamboo.
