Cheap plastic toys will end the era
Continuously emitting green barriers abroad, the domestic labor shortage, and have to raise wages, has become China’s plastic toy companies face two problems. Industry recently that China’s cheap plastic toy companies rely on long-term competitive era is about to end.
The main destination of China’s toy exports are the European Union, the United States and other developed countries. Continuous improvement of environmental protection and safety standards, has greatly improved the threshold of China’s toy exports, but also a corresponding increase in the cost of doing business. Shenzhen Inspection and Quarantine Bureau official said. These green barriers include: developing the EU’s green Directives provisions, including the ten categories, including toys, machinery and electronic products exports to the EU will be levied extra garbage fees, and the product does not contain lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated II diphenyl ether and polybrominated biphenyls six hazardous substances; basis since January 1 this year, implementation of the “Code of Conduct for the International Toy Association of Business” (ICTI certification), the United States and British Toy Association ask its members since 2006, can only by regulate the operation of the International Toy Council certified commercial suppliers toys; expected to come into effect in late 2006 the EU REACH regulations require toy companies to provide proof of product testing of chemicals, and its security responsibility.
These regulations will Chemicals Registration, Evaluation, certification and a series of costs passed on to the toy manufacturers, and most of the additives for plastic toys, plastic toys virtually increase export costs and accessories, so that the already meager profit of plastic toy companies worse. Well-known toy company in Shenzhen Co., Ltd. Yong Qin Lili Wei, director of the quality of introduction, the implementation of these new standards, the enterprises in the raw materials, production equipment and management costs in three areas will be substantially increased by about 30%.
In addition, the plastic toy is a labor-intensive industries, China’s current labor shortage in production of plastic toys had an impact, the lack of Guangdong province late last year more than 50 million workers, Fujian, Zhejiang and the lack of 30 million workers. Labor shortages, some plastic toys to stimulate enterprises have improved the treatment of employees, bonuses and benefits to recruit more skilled workers for the conditions, and increased business costs.
At present, China is the world’s largest toy producer, but more to processing trade, low price to win, the cost of upgrading may lead directly to the international competitiveness of exports of toys fell.
