Please choose a paint away from the green trap

In order to cater to the consumer psychology of home improvement consumers, many paint merchants have launched "green, environmental protection" cards. Individual merchants use consumers' trust in green household products, and even the phenomenon of propaganda and actual disagreement, indirectly harming consumers' interests. However, it is still necessary to remind consumers that the current home market is mixed, and consumers should stay away from these “green traps” when purchasing paint products and home improvement services.

The weather is getting warmer, and the decoration boom of the year has begun to heat up. The number of people visiting the home market on weekends has increased a lot. Today's consumers are not only considering the price in their home furnishings, but also paying more attention to the safety and environmental protection of home products and home decoration. In order to cater to the consumer psychology of home improvement consumers, many paint merchants have launched "green, environmental protection" cards. Individual merchants use consumers' trust in green household products, and even the phenomenon of propaganda and actual disagreement, indirectly harming consumers' interests. However, it is still necessary to remind consumers that the current home market is mixed, and consumers should stay away from these “green traps” when purchasing paint products and home improvement services.

Environmental certificate is difficult to distinguish

The reporter found in several building materials market and building materials stores that some building materials merchants have marked the words “green building materials and “green paint” in the prominent positions of promotional materials and samples. However, when the reporter asked what these environmental signs were obtained. When the authority is certified, the sales staff is vague.

According to industry experts, some paints are obviously produced in small workshops, but they are branded in Hong Kong. They even advertise that they are foreign brands. The certificates provided may be all in English, or they are known as foreign countries. Issued by professional organizations, consumers are unable to distinguish between authenticity in the face of these various certificates. For example, some mattress products are likely to be “golden jade and ruined”, the surface looks beautiful and luxurious, and the substrate may be unsightly.

Experts remind: "Green products" look for the "10 ring" sign

"The first thing is to look at the product, then ask the price, if you buy it right." Faced with a variety of environmental gimmicks, consumers mostly do not know how to identify. Ms. Wu, who bought paint in a building materials plaza, said that the most used decoration is the paint, which will accompany the family for many years. The most worrying thing is that the paint is not environmentally friendly. However, when asked how to measure environmental protection, Ms. Wu said that she was not sure. "If you don't know, choose some higher prices, and hope to buy a reassurance."

Some building materials businesses advocate that their products are green products, based on the "national standard." “People in the industry know that the 'national standard' is not the same as 'green'. The national standard is only the entry standard for indoor decoration materials entering the market. If this standard is not met, it will not be eligible to enter the market, and the requirements for green products will be even more High.” Building materials merchants have described the national standards as green environmental standards and have deliberately misled consumers.

The reporter learned from relevant industry associations that in the current household product certification, the environmentally-friendly product certification of the household products in the market is higher in China's environmental labeling product certification (10-ring certification), which is the only environmental certification held by the State Environmental Protection Administration. The quality of products with the “10-ring” mark issued by the China Environmental Labeling Products Certification Committee can be called “green products”.

According to industry insiders, the greening and environmental protection standards are quite strict. At present, there are not many real green products in the home improvement market, and the products that are marked with “green” and “environmental protection” on the market are only a few, and consumers are buying green products. Whenever possible, choose a large brand and a product with a “10-ring” certification.

European and American standards are more stringent as a reference

The 3A environmental protection paint from Shunde, the hometown of paint, provides consumers with more assured choices. The company passed the certification of China's environmental labeling products in 2000 and launched many high-tech environmentally friendly coatings that lead the industry. And through a series of tests passed by international authorities, the environmental performance of the products is far superior to the national standards, reaching the European and American standards, providing consumers with safety and environmental protection with international product quality in the context of false publicity in the industry. Decoration paint.

In this season of decoration, I hope that consumers will not get lost in the "green trap", polish their eyes and create a healthy and environmentally friendly home for their families!
