The world is beginning to move towards a ＂mercury-free＂ society
2023-09-04
Recently, there is news that "RoHS directive exemption has officially ended and will not be extended".
In August 2022, the EU officially issued the EU RoHS 2.0 directive exemption list, the EU RoHS Directive (on the restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment) clearly specifies a series of chemical substances prohibited for electrical and electronic equipment. Because discharge bulbs do not work without mercury, they are included in the list of exemptions in the current version of the RoHS directive.
However, the current list of exemptions from the EU RoHS Directive (2011/65/EU) will be distributed between February 25, 2023 (compact fluorescent lamps without integrated electronic ballasts) and August 25, 2023 (T5 and T8 fluorescent tubes).
Visible from the second. Ordinary fluorescent lamps will no longer be extended, the lamps not covered will be regulated in stages, and ordinary fluorescent lamps will gradually disappear in the market in addition to some special uses. With the official end of the RoHS Directive exemption, most types of fluorescent lamps will be banned from manufacture and sale in Europe. Under the Minamata Convention, which along with the RoHS Directive was the main initiative to eliminate mercury, is now in force and most countries, including Japan, have banned the manufacture and sale of common fluorescent lamps. The combination of the two also accelerates the global progress towards a mercury-free society.
A number of UV companies layout replacement products
Although fluorescent lamps are disappearing, there are still many mercury-containing lighting appliances and light sources, such as so-called germicidal lamps for the disinfection of water and air, surfaces, etc., and ultraviolet light sources for industrial curing.
A number of UV-related companies are actively laying out products to replace mercury lamps.
Since its founding in 1956, Nichia has been deeply involved in the fluorescent lighting industry for almost its entire history. Specifically, the manufacture of phosphor for fluorescent lamps was Nichia's core business for about 50 years, until leds became mainstream and became the new core of Nichia in the 21st century. From March 2023 onwards, Nichia will launch various products that could become alternative technologies and contribute to the realization of a mercury-free society. It is its mission to accelerate progress towards a mercury-free society by developing and providing alternative mercury-free technologies.
Qingdao fluorescent has also launched a number of water sterilization related products, such as: YG-F118, YG-F218. Can meet the needs of water tank and flowing water sterilization, the product has passed the sterilization test, and successfully installed. After the successful development of the product, the sterilization rate can be as high as 99.99% under the flow rate of 2L/min by the third party sterilization test, so it is favored by the market.
Now the major enterprises in the technology, packaging, sinking market, etc., are actively layout. The just-needed market efforts will be changed from "effective" to "effective", and its application value and market scale will be enhanced. Strive to completely replace the mercury lamp market as soon as possible to provide better products and services to the market.
Qingdao fluorescent UV disinfection products mainly include air sterilization, surface sterilization, water sterilization, medical sterilization and other products. The company has a professional post-doctoral team, focusing on the research of ultraviolet sterilization applications, after years of deep cultivation of the ultraviolet industry, the company has obtained a number of national invention and utility model patents. At present, a number of sterilization module products have been put into the market.
