Study On Influncing Factors And Its Function Mechanism Of Reduction Behavior Of Paper Mills

Emission reduction factors and management measures are hot topics of academic research which in relation to multidisciplinary in recent years. It also a far-reaching practical issues, and is a great significance for promoting global low carbon economy and sustainable development. The term of emission reduction was first proposed in the national outline of the Eleventh Five-Year Plan, and established the binding indicators of total emissions of major pollutants reduced by 10% in unit of GDP during Eleventh Five-Year. However, according to Xinhua News Agency report, emission reduction indicators progress is lagging behind, not meet the requirements of Eleventh Five-Year Plan. One important reason is that the emission reduction is progressing including high energy consumption and high-pollution industries, but the problems of energy consumption and pollution emissions is still serious, especially need increase implementation efforts to enterprise saving energy.Paper industry is still a highly polluting industries in China, particularly the amount of wastewater and COD emissions have a large proportion of the total country. China Paper Association's survey data show that, the amount of wastewater and COD emissions are still highest in the country's first, although every industry try their best to implement the emission reduction targets, and the government efforts to strengthen the emissions control and enterprises'awareness of environmental protection become higher, it turned out paper industry still need to work harder to achieve economic, social and environmental benefits harmonious development. Paper industry pollution reduction ultimately fall on the main micro-enterprises, protecting the environment, promote low-carbon emission reduction, the development of recycling economy and promote the coordinated development of economy and ecology, both paper-making their own survival and development needs, they can not shirk its social responsibility. The paper's objective are: start from the reducing emissions status quo of paper-making enterprises to explore the behavior of their emission factors, and put forward specific, scientific and operational implementation of emission reduction of paper-making enterprise policy recommendations, paper-making enterprises and strive to better promote the implementation of emission reduction activities. However, the research about emission factors which influence business research are few, even the lack of empirical research, so it can't provides a solid theoretical and practical basis as a policy guide.Fujian, as one of major forest areas in southern China, its development of paper industry plays a decisive role in China, the number of paper industry, paper pulp production, paper and paperboard production are among the forefront in China's paper industry. Therefore, the research of reduction of paper-making enterprises in Fujian Province is representative in paper industry. This research takes the paper industry of Fujian as an example, identify the key factors of the reduction of paper industry, and go deep into the mechanism of the key factors. The researcher promote the policy to strengthen the reduction actions of paper industry and provide government with good theoretical guidance and practical basis, based on empirical research conclusions. The main contents include the following five aspects:(1)Using the method of documentary research, through analyze and summarize about the emission reduction document research of effect factors of environmental management behavior by domestic and international scholars. In the meanwhile, analysis of the development of paper industry and analysis of emission reduction in Fujian, to lay the theoretical analysis foundation for the factors of emission reduction to the paper-making enterprises. Main contents in the second and third chapters.(2) According to the literature review results and analysis of paper-making enterprises emission reduction in Fujian Province, and with the direction of government environmental regulation theory, public participation theory, technical progress theory, competition theory, consumer theory and enterprise strength theory, we summarized the potential impact factor of the reduction behavior with paper-making enterprise. After the experts' discussions, we finalized identified the potential impact factor of the reduction behavior with paper-making enterprise in this research, there in 10 factors for government regulatory,4 factors for policy support,6 factors for public,3 factors for competition,4 factors for market,10 factors for enterprises characteristic. And the main content is Chapter four.(3)This paper analyzes by descriptive statistics for the influencing factors of enterprises emissions behavior for samples with paper-making 83 enterprises in Fujian province; and then, to identify key influencing factors of the paper-making enterprises reduction behavior combines with using the factor analysis method and multivariate linear regression analysis, which lay the foundation for the analysis of follow-up key factors influencing mechanism, meanwhile, provide solid practice basis of the proposed policy suggestions. It mainly includes the fifth, sixth chapter. (4) According to the key factors identificational results, further using structure equation model, as reduction emissions behavior of paper-making enterprises, make the key factors influencing mechanism for empirical research. Therefore, determination directly influence behavior and the indirect effects of reduction emission of papermaking enterprises, which caused by the key factor, explore the interaction between the key factors, provide practical basis for putting forward policy suggestions. Main content is the chapter seven. (5)Based on the conclusions, puts forward policy suggestions which strengthen reduction emission behavior of paper-making enterprises, mainly in chapter eight of this article.y theoretical analysis and empirical research, this paper gains the main conclusions: (1)recognition results of reduction behavior's key factors in Fujian paper-making enterprises show that, administrative penalty, environmental monitoring measures, sewage charges in 2009, environmental groups petition, loan support, financial subsidies, tax incentives, advanced of paper technology, rational layout of production process, cost of emission reduction technologies, government procurement qualification, consumer concern about emissions, emissions reduction image effect, the consumer propensity to consume, the registered capital, firm size, asset sales ratio, reduction cooperation, attitude toward shareholders and employees familiar with the degree reduction, these 20 indicators have a significant positive impact on reduction behavior of paper-making enterprises. (2)The mechanism research about key factors of the emission reduction of Fujian paper-making enterprises shows that:the regulations environmental factors have a significant and direct impact on emission reduction of paper-making enterprises. Meanwhile, it also has an indirect effect by technical factors, market factors as well as enterprises characteristics factors etc; The technical factors have a great direct influence on the emission reduction of paper-making enterprises and can have indirect effect by enterprises characteristics factors in the meantime; Market factors have significant and direct impact on emission reduction of paper-making enterprises and can have indirect effect through technical factors and enterprises characteristics factors in the meantime. Enterprises characteristics factors have a significant direct influence on the emission reduction of paper making enterprises. Based on the above conclusions, this paper proposed some policy implications concerning how to strengthen emission reduction behavior of paper-making enterprises, including strengthen the government to carry out environmental regulations for paper-making enterprises, strengthen the public supervision, to complete supportive policy for investing of paper-making enterprises, strengthen technical support for paper-making enterprises, to reduce emission reduction cost, to propaganda the awareness of green consumption, promote consumers emission reduction attention, strength of enterprises, strengthen the awareness of saving energy and reducing emissions for paper-making enterprises, at last, to complete production, teaching, and research mechanism which relate to environmental technology innovation.The current scholar'empirical research on emissions reduction behavior and its influencing factors of paper-making enterprises is still less, so this paper choose paper-making enterprises to do empirical research and in content has a certain original; meanwhile, this research is first to use structure equation model, analyze the mechanism of papermaking enterprise mitigation key influence-factor action, there is also a certain innovation significance in perspective. Of course, due to the limitations of the research, this paper still must on follow-up study:firstly, this paper is revised only according to each path coefficient T statistics value on structural equation model, not according to MI index to second correct. Therefore, in order to get more reasonable structure equation model, this paper will explore the theoretical basis or actual basis of the variable attribution adjustment further, and the structural equation model is further revised based on statistical data and MI index T. Secondly, there were designed 16 emissions which are on the emission of input intensity of behavior in paper-making enterprises to measure. The consideration on enterprise emissions reduction behavior indicators may be imperfect in practice, in order to ascend the results of model test scientific and accurate, future studies should focus on quantitative indicators of paper bound up with the paper-making enterprises emissions reduction behavior that will further improve.
