China'S Textile Industry Has Encountered Bottlenecks In The "Low Carbon Era"

"Green,"

Low carbon

"As a new theme of global development, how can China's textile industry with relatively backward technology and serious pollutant emissions meet the challenge?

Recently, journalists visited experts and scholars in the textile industry and the scientific and technological circles. They pointed out that only by speeding up the integration with the "low-carbon era" and speeding up technological breakthroughs to achieve "green upgrading" can we get out of the predicament.

China's textile industry suffers from "low carbon" bottleneck

Textile industry is an important livelihood industry in China. It is also an important pillar industry of the national economy and one of the industries with obvious international competitive advantages.

Over the past 20 years, the textile industry has interpenetrated with nano technology and information technology. The quality of civilian textiles has been continuously improved. Fiber products have been developing towards high performance and intelligence. They have become an important basic material for industry, agriculture, military, pportation, civil engineering, medical and health.

Sun Jinliang, academician of the Chinese Academy of engineering, said that at present, China's textile industry

fibre

Processing accounts for 50% of the world's total, and textile and garment exports account for 14.4% of the world's exports.

According to incomplete statistics, in 2008, there were 5 Enterprises above Designated Size in the textile industry, and third of the 32 industries in the country. The number of textile workers accounted for 14% of the total number of Industrial Enterprises above Designated Size, and the added value of textile industry accounted for 8% of China's industrial growth.

However, there is still a clear gap between China's textile engineering technology and advanced foreign countries.

Sun Jinliang said that from the forepart of the industrial chain, textile fiber materials are made in large quantities, but high-end fibers are few and high-end.

Fabric

Development is not enough, and the proportion of industrial textiles in textile products is low. In particular, "the 175 existing products in the textile industry have won the title of national brand, but not a world famous brand". From the perspective of equipment and informatization, there is still a big gap compared with the advanced level of the world. From the perspective of environmental impact, China's textile printing and dyeing industry has a serious pollutant discharge. "In 2007, the water consumption of China's cotton dyeing and printing unit was 2 times that of the US in 1990s, and the comprehensive energy consumption was 2.4 times that of Canada in 1990s.

With the wide recognition of low carbon economy mode and low carbon development concept, pollutant discharge has become a collective bottleneck in China's textile and dyeing industry.

Professor Yu Jianyong, vice president of Donghua University, pointed out that the development of the textile industry is increasingly constrained by resources and environment as the whole manufacturing process of the textile industry is relatively long, resources are consumed and pollution is enlarged.

Shen Anjing, vice president of Shanghai Textile Science Research Institute, said: "the low carbon test faced by China's textile industry is very severe. Especially in developed countries, the implementation of the" carbon tariff "will make the Chinese textile industry at the low end of the textile supply chain suffer a great impact.

"He said for example, a 400 gram polyester pants, if life expectancy 2 years, washing, drying, ironing will produce carbon dioxide emissions of 47 kilograms, and a 250 grams of cotton T-shirt," life "will emit 7 kg of carbon dioxide.
