【Chemical Machinery and Equipment Network Industry News】Have all the old clothes in your family been recycled? The carbon emissions of the textile industry remain high, and not a single piece of old clothing is innocent!
Du Huanzheng, director of the Institute of Ecological Civilization and Circular Economy at Tongji University and director of the Yangtze River Delta Circular Economy Technology Research Institute, said that the textile industry has become the world's second largest polluting industry after the oil industry, emitting 17 tons of greenhouse gases for every ton of textiles produced, and the fashion industry is expected to consume more than 30% of the global carbon budget
by 2050.
by 2050.
Why?
Because the main source of polyester fiber in the clothing industry is still oil, the energy consumption of the production process is very large, and the current common polyester, nylon, spandex, etc.
can actually be collectively referred to as petroleum fiber
.
According to public data, in 2020, China's total textile fiber processing reached 58 million tons, accounting for more than 50% of the world's total fiber processing, and chemical fiber production accounted for more than
70% of the world's proportion.

On the other hand, the global annual textile waste of more than 90 million tons, that is, the recycling effect of old clothes has not met expectations, especially in China, the annual scale of waste of old clothes exceeds 26 million tons, and this data is still growing at a rate of 10% to 15% per year, how much is really recycled?
Zhao Kai, executive vice president of the China Circular Economy Association, recently revealed that in 2020, China's waste textiles will produce about 22 million tons, with a recycling rate of about 20%.
According to the Implementation Opinions on Accelerating the Recycling of Waste Textiles (Fa Gai Huanzi [2022] No.
526), this figure should reach 25% by 2025 and 30%
by 2030.
Although the growth is already rapid compared to less than 5% a few years ago, it is clear that the industry foundation is still too weak, and the problem of low recycling rate will persist
in the short and medium term.

It can also be understood that the lack of resource utilization of waste textiles, the demand for petroleum fiber in the clothing industry will obviously still be at a high level
.
Some people will also ask, then replace petroleum fibers with other substances
.
It is theoretically possible, but there are
many obstacles in reality.

Du Huanzheng said that China's garment industry has been using biomass materials for more than ten years, but high prices, small production capacity, and the lack of a closed-loop market system are the main reasons
hindering market development.
"China's biomass resources can replace about 500 million tons of coal and reduce carbon dioxide emissions by about 900 million tons," Du Huanzheng said, for example, straw recycling has now entered the clothing industry

.
Of course, in addition to raw material substitution, the carbon emission reduction path of the textile industry also includes energy structure transformation, product design optimization, information intelligent upgrading and so on
.
.
China's textile industry has been at the world's advanced level, and has successfully achieved the goal of
becoming a "textile power".
After that, the two-way competitiveness of innovation and carbon emission reduction cannot be less
.
China National Textile and Apparel Council said that since the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan", China's textile and garment industry has achieved obvious results in energy and water saving, pollution prevention and control, comprehensive utilization of resources, and green manufacturing system construction, including:

The comprehensive energy consumption of 10,000 yuan of output value decreased by 25.
5%, the proportion of secondary energy reached 72.
5%, and the cumulative reduction of wastewater discharge, chemical oxygen demand and ammonia nitrogen emissions decreased by more than 10%.

In addition to efforts in the fields of waste gas, wastewater, energy saving, etc.
, digital transformation is also a must
.
Chen Lifen, deputy to the National People's Congress and chairman of Jiangsu Sunshine, suggested at the two sessions to build an industrial Internet platform and an industry big data platform for the textile industry, make full use of innovative resources such as colleges and universities, scientific research institutes, and industry associations to promote key technologies and equipment research, and implement carbon accounting, carbon monitoring and carbon reduction technical services for small and medium-sized enterprises

.
Green new fashion, green new consumption, with the awakening of consumers' environmental awareness, the emphasis on low carbon and emission reduction in all walks of life has begun to be transformed into an important part of brand building and publicity, and I believe that the future textile and garment industry will be no exception
.
At the same time, what should be done is to do a good job in popularizing science and publicity, changing traditional consumption concepts, using technology and facts to prove that "recycled textiles can also be very safe", and gradually and comprehensively opening up the market
for recycled products in the circular economy.
