printenv | sed 's/^(.*)$/export \1/g' > ${ENV_VARS_FILE}

This will be failed when there are any special characters in your environment variable values.

I suggest using the following piece of code to export environment variables.

eval $(printenv | awk -F= '{print "export " "\""$1"\"""=""\""$2"\"" }' >> /etc/profile)
