medical x-ray manufacturers

Some factories outsource processes that are medical x-ray manufacturers hazardous to the environment. Lock companies in Zhejiang and Shandong provinces subcontract electroplating and paint coating to local specialists who are not only more capable but also use professional equipment that produces less pollution.In some industries, higher productivity is correlated directly to waste reduction. Makers are emphasizing worker training to upgrade efficiency, trim down defects and reduce wastage.Often suppliers are not motivated enough to adopt sustainable practices in production. Unless required by buyers, any effort to introduce ecologically safe processes is only deemed as an unwarranted cost. For such businesses, compliance with RoHS, WEEE and other regulations is sufficient in showing their environmental commitment.


In October 2009, a report by Greenpeace CTP plate processor the elevated pollution levels in the Pearl River in southern China. As the main source of drinking water for about 4.7 million residents, the estuary is where thousands of factories dump their waste as well. A high-level cocktail of beryllium, copper, manganese, BPA, alkylphenols and other hazardous chemicals were discovered in analyzed samples from eight cities around the river.The report also enumerated the noncompliance of at least 18 major private locally owned and multinational companies in the Fortune Global 500 or the China 100 list with pollution disclosure rules implemented by the Ministry of Environmental Protection in May 2008. Samsung, Nestle, LG, Motorola and Sinopec were among the companies cited for exceeding emissions standards and failing to publish their pollution data within 30 days after being blacklisted as the rule required.

Greenpeace has been active in helping CTP plate processor manufacturers and expose environmentally destructive practices in China. Its media reports have helped pressure manufacturers to adopt more eco-friendly systems and for local governments and enforcement agencies to implement laws and tighten standards.The group, however, admitted its own limitations as it failed to include hundreds of thousands of small operations that are also heavy polluters.This article was originally published by Global Sources, a leading business-to-business media company and a primary facilitator of trade with China manufacturers and India suppliers, providing essential sourcing information to volume buyers through our e-magazines, trade shows and industry research.
