The white paper on carbon emissions in the home furnishing industry is released: the production link accounts for more than 60%

Recently, a white paper on carbon emissions in the home furnishing industry was officially released, revealing the current situation and challenges of the home furnishing industry in terms of carbon emissions. The white paper points out that the production link of the home furnishing industry accounts for more than 60%, which has become a key breakthrough in the industry's carbon reduction. The following is the detailed content and analysis of the white paper.

1. Current status of carbon emissions in the home furnishing industry

According to the white paper data, the total carbon emissions of the home furnishing industry in 2023 reached 120 million tons, of which the production link accounted for as high as 62%, the transportation link accounted for 18%, the use link accounted for 15%, and the waste treatment link accounted for 5%. The specific data are as follows:

2. The main source of carbon emissions in the production link

Carbon emissions in the production process mainly come from raw material processing, energy consumption and manufacturing processes. Among them, raw material processing accounts for the highest proportion, reaching 40%, energy consumption accounts for 35%, and manufacturing processes account for 25%. The specific data are as follows:

3. Challenges and opportunities for carbon reduction in the home furnishing industry

The white paper points out that the home furnishing industry faces three major challenges: first, the cost of technology upgrading is high, the difficulty of supply chain coordination, and third, consumers lack environmental awareness. However, with the changes in policy support and market demand, the home furnishing industry has also ushered in the opportunity to reduce carbon.

1.Policy support: The country has introduced a series of policies to encourage green manufacturing, including tax incentives and subsidies, providing impetus for enterprises to reduce carbon emissions.

2.Technological innovation: The application of new materials and new energy technologies, such as bio-based materials and solar energy, is gradually reducing carbon emissions in the production link.

3.Consumer demand: Young consumers' preference for environmentally friendly home products is increasing, which has promoted the transformation of enterprises to green production.

4. Carbon reduction suggestions for the home furnishing industry

Based on the white paper research, experts put forward the following suggestions for reducing carbon:

1.Optimize production process: Reduce energy consumption and waste generation through intelligent manufacturing and lean production.

2.Use green materials: Promote renewable materials and low-carbon materials to reduce carbon emissions from raw material processing.

3.Strengthen supply chain cooperation: Cooperate with upstream and downstream enterprises to establish a green supply chain system to jointly reduce carbon emissions.

4.Improve consumer awareness: Through publicity and education, guide consumers to choose environmentally friendly home products and form a market driving force.

5. Future Outlook

The white paper predicts that by 2030, the carbon emission intensity of the home furnishing industry will drop by 30%, and the proportion of carbon emissions in the production link is expected to drop below 50%. With the advancement of technology and the improvement of policies, the home furnishing industry will gradually achieve green transformation and contribute to the global carbon neutrality goal.

The release of this white paper not only provides a scientific basis for the carbon reduction path of the home furnishing industry, but also provides a reference for the green development of other industries. In the future, the home furnishing industry needs to achieve sustainable development under the joint promotion of technological innovation, policy support and market demand.
