Textile Industry Waste Textile Resource Utilization Exchange Meeting Held In Shanghai

With the attention of international brands to sustainable development, and have formulated the corresponding response objectives and implementable programs, circular and sustainable development has become an important trend of global textile industry development. As a responsibility oriented green industry, the establishment and improvement of a green and low-carbon cycle industrial system is an important symbol and basic bottom line to realize the high-quality development of the whole industry. "Zero abandonment of old clothes" aims to maximize the effective use of resources and minimize the waste of waste resources. Zero abandonment is both a goal and an action plan.

On March 18, an exchange meeting on the utilization of waste textile resources in textile industry was held in Shanghai. In addition to commending the units and individuals who have made outstanding contributions in the action of "zero abandonment of old clothes", the activity also officially released the environmental benefit evaluation report on the recycling and recycling of used clothes.

Sun Huaibin, vice president of China Textile Industry Federation, said in his speech that during the "14th five year plan" period, under the background of the world's unprecedented great changes in a century and China's new development pattern of "double cycle", under the guidance of national carbon peak and carbon neutral goal, it will become the general trend and important policy for the textile industry to promote green and low-carbon circular development and promote the comprehensive green transformation of the industry 。

He pointed out that China is the world's largest textile and clothing producer and consumer, with an annual fiber consumption of about 30 million tons and per capita fiber consumption of 22.4 kg, basically reaching the level of moderately developed countries. About 6 million tons of waste textiles (excluding stock) are produced in the production and consumption links every year, and the annual growth rate is more than 10%. However, due to the system and mechanism, recycling system, sorting method, technology and standards and other reasons, the raw materials are mainly PET bottle pieces and a small amount of industrial waste, and the amount of old clothing fabrics from urban and rural residents is small, and the overall recycling efficiency of waste textiles is low.

He stressed that the "zero abandonment of old clothes" brand action project is a cross industry industrial chain cooperation project, especially with the influential international brand decathlon; secondly, it is a real closed-loop mode pilot project for the recycling of used clothing resources (docking with the textile industry system); thirdly, it is the embodiment of "zero abandonment" of old clothes, achieving the maximum proportion Finally, the whole recycling process is tracked, and the whole value chain is evaluated, which provides reference for the establishment of business model for the resource utilization of old clothes.

Cheng Jie, deputy director of the industry department of China Textile Federation, said that during the "14th five year plan" period, the textile industry will put forward new requirements in terms of ecological civilization construction and green development. The construction of ecological civilization system and the promotion of green transformation of economic and social development put forward higher requirements and rare opportunities for the textile industry to establish and improve the green low-carbon circular development industrial system. CFA will carry out extensive cooperation, establish pilot demonstration and promote industrial development. At the meeting, he also read out the decision to build a research and development platform for comprehensive utilization of waste textile resources with the Fifth Institute of electronics of the Ministry of industry and information technology, set up a dismantling Center for used clothes (down products) in Donglong Home Textile Co., Ltd., carry out industry pilot demonstration, and further promote the standardization construction of down textile resources recycling industry.

Wang Lin, head of the comprehensive utilization of resources business of China Textile Federation environmental protection and assets supervision committee, shared the specific situation of the "zero abandonment of old clothes" brand special action led by China Textile Federation environmental protection and Resources Supervision Committee and organized decathlon decathlon, Shanghai Donglong, Guangde Tianyun and Shanghai Chuangyi municipal enterprises. Through the cooperation with decathlon brand and WWF WWF, we not only publicized the concept that old clothes can be recycled, but also explored the closed-loop mode of old clothes recycling.

At the meeting, the environmental protection and Assets Supervision Committee of China Textile Federation officially released the environmental benefit evaluation report on the recycling and recycling of used clothes. The report pointed out that in the operation process of "decathlon brand used clothing recycling and recycling mode", the Fifth Research Institute of electronics of the Ministry of industry and information technology collected the process data of waste textiles recycling and recycling, and recycled the whole waste textiles and recycled them The environmental benefits of the recycling process were evaluated and analyzed. According to the main resources and energy consumption and pollutant emissions in the process of primary plastic pallet, primary down production and the recycling mode of waste clothes, five kinds of environmental impact indicators were selected for calculation and analysis.

Compared with the original plastic pallet, the energy consumption of one recycled tray is reduced by 467mj, and the carbon dioxide (equivalent) emission is reduced by 9.7kg, and the overall environmental impact is reduced by 67.9%; the energy consumption is reduced by 1140mj and the carbon dioxide (equivalent) emission is reduced by 178kg compared with the original down in the production and processing of 1kg recycled down, and the overall environmental impact is reduced by 99.3%; through the recycling and resource utilization of decathlon waste textiles The operation of the model can effectively reduce the consumption of energy, and reduce the environmental impact of greenhouse benefits, photochemical ozone, acidification and eutrophication. This report verified the effectiveness, applicability and popularization of decathlon waste textile recycling and recycling mode, provided a scientific basis for promoting the construction of recycling, sorting, production, procurement and recycling system of recycled products in waste textiles, and provided support for the construction of recycling system of waste textile resources.

She said that during the "14th five year plan" period, the China Textile Federation environmental protection and assets supervision committee will strengthen multi-party cooperation, carry out the construction of demonstration bases for comprehensive utilization of waste textiles, support technological innovation of enterprises, especially key technological breakthroughs in the recycling and utilization of waste textile resources, increase the directional recycling, cascade utilization and standardized treatment of used clothes, and make technological breakthroughs, mode innovation and product design It runs through the whole process of the industrial chain, and promotes the construction of public service platform for the industrial application of "recycling production use recycling" of waste textile resources. In the future, more special actions will be launched to carry out basic research, give play to the guiding role of the industry, and use market mechanism to promote the construction of industrial chain of waste textiles recycling at the source of resources.
