Hello Jacob
Pollution, itā€™s serious topic for all the world since our living environmental is going worse due to industry development caused.
Last year, Local government strict to follow top level guidance to protect environment, then our sourcing team met some supply issues since some of small OEM suppliers had to closed factory for internal rectifying. These small factories didnā€™t have any investment plan to improve their facility, then they had to stop some business offering as polish and chrome finish product since these manufactureā€™s process will be made water pollution and air pollution, itā€™s also not good at operator healthy.
For business view, itā€™s big challenge for sourcing team. We had to find out new supplier to make offering continuously with tough term as high cost, MOQ requirement etc.
To protect our environment and provide good environment for our next generation, itā€™s worth improving or closing pollution manufacture factories. We hope we can live in better healthy environment all time.
People have bought some machines to reduce the water pollution and air pollution, these machines are very expensive and just only for some certain space. So everyone should have a sense to reduce pollution from small actions in our life by personal. Manufactureā€™s Company also should take responsible to improve filtrated equipment to minimize pollution no matter for water or for air.

Thanks

Hello Jacob,

pollution isĀ a serious topic for all the world since our living environmental is going getting/growingĀ worse due to industry development caused.
Last year, local government wasĀ strict to follow top level guidance to protect theĀ environment. Then our sourcing team met some supply issues since some of theĀ small OEM suppliers had to closed theĀ factory for internal rectifying. These small factories didnā€™t have any investment plan to improve their facility,Ā so they had to stop some business operationsĀ offering suchĀ as polished and chrome finished products since these manufactureā€™s process will be made makeĀ water pollution and air pollution. This processĀ isĀ also not healthy for the operator .
From theĀ business view, itā€™s aĀ big challenge for theĀ sourcing team. We had to find out aĀ new supplier to make continueĀ offering continuously our products.Ā The new supplies requested veryĀ with tough termsĀ such as high cost, MOQ requirement etc.
To protect our environment and provide good environment for our next generation, itā€™s worth improving or closing polluting manufacture factories. We hope we can live in better & healthy environmentĀ in the future.
People have bought some machines to reduce the water pollution and air pollution, these machines are very expensive and just forĀ residential use. So everyone should have a sense to reduce pollution/emissions from small actions in our personal life. Manufactureā€™s Company also should take responsibleĀ steps to improve filtration equipment to minimize pollution no matter for bothĀ water or for andĀ air.
