Waste Textile Fiber Resources Or Reusing Nirvana

Talking about resources recovery We may not be familiar with re-use, especially in the twenty-first Century, where the ecological environment is attracting much attention. Resources that can be recycled can be seen everywhere. For example, paper, plastic products, water resources, electronic products and so on. The recovery and reuse of textile fiber resources are rarely mentioned. For most people, the term "recycled clothing" seems a bit strange. Recently, reporters learned from the fifteenth Shanghai international textile industry exhibition that the policy of "supporting the recycling of waste textiles" has been officially identified as an important direction for the development of China's textile industry in the next five years, and is also formally written into the "12th Five-Year plan" outline of the textile industry. From this, it is not hard to imagine that the recycling policy of waste textiles will soon be promoted across the country, and "recycled clothing" will also enter the lives of ordinary people.

Welcome the opportunity and start the new trend of "regenerated garments" into the textile industry

China has a large population, and it is natural in cotton, wool, linen, silk and so on. fibre Resources and raw materials such as petrochemical raw materials for production of chemical fiber rely heavily on textile materials. It is foreseeable that with the growth of textile fiber consumption, the number of waste textiles is also increasing. The reality is that due to inadequate utilization of raw materials, fiber resources have been quite tense, and the price of raw materials is rising continuously throughout the country. In recent years, many places and enterprises have developed a lot of new fibers with high added value and environmental protection, and have made active efforts in replacing some traditional fibers such as cotton, wool, linen and silk. Such as milk fiber, corn fiber, pineapple fiber, bamboo fiber, soybean fiber and so on, some of which have been industrialized, but others are still stalled.

In the face of this situation, we should increase the ratio of fiber resources reuse. reduce Production cost is undoubtedly one of the measures to deal with. It is in such a big environment that the China Textile Association has begun to promote the recycling of waste textiles under the leadership of ministries and commissions.

China's textile industry is not only the most competitive industry, but also a resource dependent and environmentally sensitive industry. For this reason, Du Yuzhou, President of the China Textile Industry Association, emphasized in the media interview that "recycling of waste textiles and fibers is an important strategic problem in line with the development of circular economy in China." Recycling and reuse of textile fiber resources is not only a new project, but also a growing sunrise industry, which is of great significance not only to make up for the shortage of China's textile raw materials, but also to promote the sustainable development of textile industry and promote the transformation from a big textile country to a strong textile country.

Undoubtedly, the textile industry is the most internationally competitive industry in China. However, after entering the post quota era, the international trade frictions and trade barriers have become increasingly frequent. At the same time, it is also facing various pressures such as the continued appreciation of the RMB, the reduction of export tax rebate rate, the rising price of raw materials and factors, etc. it is imperative to accelerate the readjustment of the industrial structure, change the mode of industrial growth and achieve sustainable development. In addition, the textile industry is a resource dependent and environmentally sensitive industry. It is also a consumer product industry directly facing the market. The implementation of circular economy is of great significance not only for the development of the industry itself, but also for building a resource-saving and environment-friendly society in China.

Relevant experts believe that the soaring price of cotton and crude oil in recent two years is the direct reason for China to introduce the policy of "recycling of waste textiles". And the transformation of the mode of economic development advocated by Scientific Outlook on Development has fundamentally accelerated the transformation of the traditional textile industry. Therefore, we believe that the real realization of "recycled clothing" is just around the corner.

Whether or not "recycled clothing" can be realized in the public?

"Recycled clothing" is being promoted throughout the country. Apart from how to improve the performance of regenerated fibers and how to separate different fibers from a garment made of many raw materials, these technical problems need to be solved. How to make ordinary consumers accept "new things" from the inside of "recycled fabric" and "recycled clothing" is also a "need". Public awareness of this new thing is low, misgivings, and urgent need to improve their safety and health. Whether the implementation of "recycled garment" can be carried out or not depends on the public.

The question is: is clothing really harmless to the human body?

In recent years, the green level of textile products has been continuously improved. Green ecological fiber Lyocell, PLA and natural colored cotton have been widely applied. Therefore, in the modern textile production process, we mostly use the modified starch slurry which is pollution-free and less polluted. In the printing and dyeing finishing, we adopt the supercritical CO2 dyeing process without water or less water. It is these advanced technology applications that ensure that the garments made directly by the nonwovens made in the test are in line with the wearing safety index. In response to this problem, the reporter interviewed the relevant staff of Henan Fiber Inspection Bureau in July 8th.

According to the introduction, at present, the textile industry's main three categories of products, clothing and clothing, home textiles two categories for daily consumption. Textiles are closely related to the lives of the masses. Their quality and ecological characteristics have a direct impact on the safety and health of consumers. Therefore, the textile industry must take a new road of industrialization with high technology content, good economic returns, low resource consumption, less environmental pollution and full utilization of human resources. It should coordinate the dynamic balance between the three industries of their own industrial development and the economy, environment and society, promote the comprehensive utilization of resources and energy, promote cleaner production, speed up scientific and technological progress, improve product quality and green level, pay attention to pollution control, promote waste reuse, and continuously meet the green consumption needs of the society.

It is understood that, in fact, recently, Shanghai has begun to give dry and wet two kinds of garbage cans to families in some pilot communities, of which dry refuse containers can be placed in waste textiles and plastic bottles for recycling. This is only the first step in the pilot work. If the garbage thrown away from the past "changed" into "recycled clothing", can it really be? consumption The acceptance is still subject to further examination.

"Recycled clothing" has great prospects for development.

Referring to the development prospects of "recycled garments", the reporter learned from the relevant data of the "Fifteenth Shanghai International Textile Industry Exhibition" that in addition to the "recycling of waste textiles" which will be launched at the moment, over the past 5 years, a number of new technologies for energy saving and emission reduction have been applied in China's textile industry. For example, the utilization ratio of comprehensive utilization technology of waste heat recovery, reclaimed water reuse, mercerizing and alkali recovery has reached 50%. The production of viscose fiber with renewable, degradable bamboo pulp and hemp stalk pulp has been industrialized. And by implementing a series of comprehensive measures, it is estimated that the energy consumption of China's textile industrial units will be reduced by 18% in 2015 compared with 2010. The intensity of industrial carbon dioxide emission and the total discharge value of unit industrial added value are expected to be reduced by 20%.

Xu Kunyuan, vice president of China Textile Industry Association, is accepting media The interview also stressed that the past financial crisis has provided a lively education course for Chinese textile enterprises, which has enhanced the risk awareness of enterprises and reduced the blindness of investment, so that enterprises will pay more attention to tap their potential and speed up scientific and technological progress and technological innovation. President Xu emphasized that the textile industry is now carrying out the "textile industry adjustment and revitalization plan". The key is to adjust the structure, speed up independent innovation, accelerate the pace of technological transformation, and achieve industrial upgrading. The implementation of industry revitalization plan is not only for coping with the current predicament, but also for long-term significance. Among them, scientific and technological progress, improving the capability of independent innovation and accelerating technological transformation are the top priority in revitalizing the planning. Since the reform and opening up, China's textile industry has achieved rapid development. The main driving force comes from two aspects: on the one hand, the reform and opening policy has activated the textile industry's development momentum and the vitality of the enterprise development; on the other hand, the industry's science and technology has made great progress, without the progress of science and technology, the textile industry will not have today's strength and level.

Xu Kunyuan also pointed out that at present, China's textile industry needs to pay attention to and accelerate its research in the following aspects of scientific and technological progress: in the polymer field, the development and application of high-tech fibers; in the field of traditional textile machinery, through the change of machining principles and the improvement of machining accuracy, the textile machine's high speed, high efficiency and high quality will be raised to a higher level; the application of electronic digital control technology to the textile industry can fundamentally change the characteristics of the labor-intensive enterprises, and make use of network technology to promote the application of information, technology and network marketing.

Indeed, as a country with the largest population in the world and a large textile country, China has formulated the policy of "recycling of waste textiles", which is of great significance both to itself and to the world. Circular economy, as a new mode of economic growth, has made a great impact on society. Developing circular economy, building a resource conserving and environment-friendly society, and integrating economic development and environmental protection is to realize the fundamental change of growth mode, alleviate the contradiction between economic growth and resource shortage, environmental protection, and promote the sustainable development of economy and society. Therefore, the "regenerated garment" meets the new needs of the development of the textile industry, and its development space is huge, and its development prospects are promising.
