He emphasized that promoting the green development of the industry requires systematic advancement and long-term efforts. Successfully, high-end industrial structure, sustainable raw material sources, clean production process, resource utilization recycling, industrial chain value chain synergy, and low-carbon energy structure are important paths to promote the green development of the industry.
waste The recycling of textiles is of great significance for resource conservation, pollution reduction and carbon reduction. It is also an important measure to effectively supplement the supply of raw materials for my country’s textile industry and ease resource and environmental constraints.” Zong Zong, Deputy Director of the Consumer Goods Industry Department of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology Ruilong said.
In March 2022, the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Commerce, and The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued the “Implementation Opinions on Accelerating the Recycling of Waste Textiles”, proposing that by 2025, a waste textile recycling system will be initially established, recycling capabilities will be greatly improved, the waste textile recycling rate will reach 25%, and waste textiles will be regenerated. Fiber production reached 2 million tons. By 2030, a relatively complete waste textile recycling system will be established, the recycling awareness of producers and consumers will be significantly improved, high-value utilization channels will continue to expand, the level of industrial development will be significantly improved, the waste textile recycling rate will reach 30%, and the waste textile recycling rate will reach 30%. The output of recycled fiber reaches 3 million tons.
He said that currently the waste generated by cotton spinning and chemical fiber companies in the production process The recycling rate of spinning is over 80%. Factors restricting the recycling of old textiles run through production, consumption, recycling and regeneration.Save energy and reduce the generation of sewage, and use this as a key consideration standard.
Ellen MacArthur Foundation (UK) Beijing Representative Office Loop Fashion project manager Cao Zijing believes that the circular economy should be driven by design and consist of three principles. The first is to eliminate waste and pollution; the second is to recycle products and materials; and the third is to promote natural regeneration.
“H&M is also the first fashion company in the world to publish an annual sustainability report One of the brands. To this end, we have formulated a very clear sustainable development path and goals very early.” Xu Sui, vice president of partnerships and public affairs of H&M, said that by 2030, planned carbon emissions can be reduced by 56%.
