There is room for development in the old floor recycling market

“In the fifteen or six years of rapid development of the flooring industry, various funds poured into the “new” industry of flooring, prompting the Chinese flooring industry to take off; however, due to another emerging industry related to the flooring industry – second-hand floor recycling Relevant to "used" (old), it is always deserted in the boiling floor market.

It is understood that second-hand floor recycling has been developed for many years, and some people have been doing second-hand floor recycling business for 10 years. After so many years of development, what is the status quo of second-hand floor recycling industry? What is the value of reusing second-hand flooring? What is the main consumer market for second-hand flooring? Is second-hand floor consumption health science?

The development of competition in the past ten years is getting bigger and bigger. According to General Sun, he started doing the business of recycling used flooring ten years ago. At first, it was a pity to see the old floor thrown in the rubbish dump. I was wondering if I could use these discarded floors again. I did not expect to start a whole new industry.

“At that time, no one in Shanghai did this, so the supply was sufficient and the profits were high. But as the number of people doing this increased, the competition became larger and the profits became less and less. Now in this village There are three to five hundred families. I am afraid there are thousands of people in Shanghai. Now it is getting harder and harder to do it."

When the old is new, it is hard to be new: the new method is limited. Sun always says that the most important "source" of floor recycling. He advertised online and in certain home building materials magazines and was on call 24 hours a day. If a customer calls to go to the customer's home to assess, the specific price depends on the use of the floor, if more can be reused, the price will be high. Sometimes it is still possible to encounter a brand new floor to be demolished. It was a Korean who had just bought a house in Shanghai. He dismantled it because he did not like the style of the floor.

The reclaimed floor also cannot be "reprocessed." The initial elections will lose a lot, and the remaining ones will be reprocessed. Depending on the use of the floor, some simple renovations can be put back into the market, and some are sent to the factory for further processing. According to Sun, the so-called in-depth processing is to change the original nine-foot floor to six-foot, re-slot, and simple maintenance.

Such simple processing makes this industry very primitive. Is there any possibility of further processing? Now there are almost three ways to deal with second-hand flooring, one is to change the length and width of the original floor; one is to change the male slot into a female slot; there is one that is not to be removed, directly in the customer's home for renovation maintenance. If more in-depth processing is performed, for example, the sheet is made into a reinforced sheet, the cost is far higher than the direct purchase of the sheet, so it is not suitable.

Where is the "green industry" road?

Despite ten years in this industry, Mr. Sun still feels confused about the future direction of the industry.

In the survey, it was found that the consumer market of second-hand flooring is mainly concentrated in the “demolition room”, “rental room” and “furniture base material”. Only a small part of the consumption market is used for rural family paving. Among them, 40% are for demolition and rental housing, 30% for furniture factory recycling, 20% for factory refurbishment, and 10% for the rest. The actual use of floor coverings after floor recycling is not optimistic. According to Zhang Lin, consultant of China Forest Product Industry Association, “In fact, there is no old or new distinction for solid wood flooring. On the contrary, the more stable and healthy the more old wood properties, the old floor enters due to the inherent consumer psychology of Chinese consumers. Family use is unlikely."

As people in this industry gradually increase, profits are getting lower and lower. How to develop in the future? What are the future market prospects? Sun cannot tell. "I'm not only doing floors, but also recycling furniture and home appliances. I can make more money by paying more," Sun said.

So, where is the future direction of this industry? Can it grow with the maturity of the floor market and form a big industry? Zhang Senlin said: “This is a resource-saving industry, which is in line with the current green consumption concept advocated by the government. However, I feel that it is unlikely that this industry will grow into a large industry. In the future development, Focusing on the combination of resource conservation and consumers' consumer demand, the benefits for consumers will still have room for their development."
