Shoe Accessories Are Still The Soft Spot Of Jinjiang Shoe Enterprises.

As one of the four major shoemaking bases in China.

Due to the cost of production, the traditional oil-based glue is still widely used in Jinjiang.

In addition to climbing and molding adhesives, cleaning agents, finishing agents and polishing agents are widely used in the footwear industry.

According to the statistics of China Adhesive Industry Association, the consumption of shoe adhesive has reached 300 thousand tons in the past 08 years. With an average of 20% solid content, about 240 thousand tons of organic solvents are directly discharged into the atmosphere.

Related professionals said that these organic solvents not only cause air pollution, but also cause occupational diseases through direct inhalation of respiratory system and skin penetration.

In recent years, not only in the Jinjiang area, many shoe companies have experienced recruitment difficulties, but some people have conducted in-depth investigations to find out that the working environment is one of the reasons for "labor shortage".

Nowadays, 80 and 90s have become the main force of workers. They are different from the previous generation. They begin to pay attention to the quality of life and personal health.

Recently, a reporter interviewed Chen, a famous mechanic returning home.

Xiao Chen is 20 years old. He came to Fujian Jinjiang from Zhuzhou, Hunan last year, and worked as a skilled worker on a production line in a medium-sized shoemaking factory.

Over a year's work time, she was rated as the best employee of the company because of her hard work.

Recently, however, she resigned and returned. When reporters asked why, Xiao Chen replied with reluctantly: "in the past 1 years, I learned a lot of technology and knowledge from factories, and factories are very good to us, both in terms of staff management and welfare benefits.

However, as soon as I entered this line, some acquaintances told me that individual factories will not be good after long time.

I feel the same way about it. The most uncomfortable thing to do every day is the smell of glue in the pungent shoes.

Recently I feel dizzy in the workshop. I am very scared.

So I consulted with my family and decided to leave home for some time and think about the future.

Caring for employees and creating a green environment

With the increasingly urgent demand for footwear industry pformation, people-oriented, caring for employees and protecting the environment has become a major issue of the footwear industry in Jinjiang.

Hongxing Erke, as a well-known brand in the domestic footwear industry, has introduced a few years ago to replace the traditional oil-based adhesive with the introduction of water-based adhesive developed by Bayer in Germany, which fully ensured the health of employees.

Walking into Hongxing Erke's factory building, we saw a clean and standard factory building. All the staff were working on the production line. Reporters asked several post-90s employees on the spot. They said they were relatively satisfied with the factory environment, and few smelled of pungent smell.
