Mr. Kong Delei, Deputy Secretary-General of the Cold Chain Logistics Committee of China Federation of Logistics and Purchasing, introduced the current situation and future development trend of the cold chain logistics industry in detail through a series of rich data. In 2017, the transaction scale of China’s fresh food e-commerce market has reached It reached 139.1 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 59.7%. In 2017, the national cold storage capacity reached 47.75 million tons, and the total revenue of the cold chain logistics industry in 2017 also reached 260 billion yuan. In addition, Deputy Secretary-General Kong said that overall, the current cold chain logistics market is fiercely competitive but still in a relatively fragmented state. Generally speaking, cold chain logistics in East China is the most developed. Compared with international countries, there is a certain gap in the coverage of domestic cold chain logistics, but this represents a huge potential for cold chain logistics in the future.

At the conference site, Li Jianbo, deputy secretary-general of the association, interpreted policies and issues including VOCs emissions in polyurethane rigid foam production, solid waste management, and cold chain logistics requirements for rigid foam flame retardancy. In the “Synthetic Resin Industrial Pollutant Emission Standard”, it is clearly stated that the emission limit of air pollutants will be implemented in accordance with the regulations from July 1, 2017. Among them, toluene diisocyanate (TDI) emission limit is 1mg/m3, diphenylmethane diisocyanate (MDI) emission limit is 1mg/m3. Regarding the flame retardant requirements of rigid foam, Li Jianbo said that the “General Code for Building Fire Protection” has been included in the 2019 standard formulation plan by the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, and a new specification system is being established. This is a mandatory national standard. Materials, B1 products, etc. to make revision requirements.

Mentioning that polyurethane materials were not accepted by the industry at the beginning and then developed rapidly in the later stage, Mr. Ma Jin, deputy secretary-general of the Standardization Committee of the China Refrigeration Society, said with satisfaction that after nearly ten years of development, the storage capacity of cold storage has increased from 2008 to 2008. From about 8 million tons in 2018 to about 40 million tons in 2018, the average annual growth rate is about 3 million tons. At present, the application of polyurethane materials has also reached the growth trend of 85-90%. At the same time, he emphasized the cold chain industry’s eternal expectation and exploration of thermal insulation materials: lower thermal conductivity, lower water absorption, lower water vapor permeability, lower process requirements, lower cost, longer Longer life, better fire performance, more environmentally friendly. He also said that the revision and improvement of regulations related to building fire ratings requires the joint efforts of the cold chain industry and the polyurethane industry.

All colleagues expressed that they benefited a lot. shallow.

Expert discussion session

On the morning of the 19th, the leaders of the association and representatives of participating companies visited the Yunnan ASEAN International Cold Chain Logistics Center, and then the representatives attended the opening ceremony of the ASEAN International Cold Chain Logistics Center. The start of construction of the center also means that Kunming will become the largest cold chain logistics center in Southwest China, and will further promote the development of cold chain logistics industry in Southwest China. We believe that the cold chain logistics industry still has huge room for development. Expect!
