Denim clothing industry low-carbon recycling development exchange meeting was held in Shanghai
“Promoting green development and promoting the harmonious coexistence between man and nature” is one of the essential requirements of Chinese modernization, and it is also the responsibility and mission of the textile and apparel industry to implement sustainable development. In order to implement the relevant provisions of the “14th Five-Year Plan for the Development of Circular Economy” and the “Implementation Opinions on Accelerating the Recycling of Waste Textiles“, build a resource recycling industrial system and waste Material recycling system and actively implement the “double carbon” goal. On November 18, the ChinaTextile Industry Federation Environmental Protection and Resource Conservation Promotion Committee and Ellen MacArthur The low-carbon circular development exchange meeting in the denim clothing industry hosted by the Beijing Representative Office of the Foundation (UK) was held in Shanghai in a simultaneous online and offline format.
” Hou Feng, Secretary General of Denim Professional Committee of ChinaCotton Textile Industry Association, Wang Qian, Shanghai Regional Project Director of WWF (Switzerland) Beijing Representative Office, and other relevant leaders and guests, government departments Leaders of relevant institutions, relevant industry organizations, denim industrial parks, production companies, scientific research institutes, brand companies and other relevant representatives attended the meeting. The meeting was chaired by Wang Lin, director of comprehensive utilization of resources of the China National Textile and Apparel Federation’s Environmental Protection Committee.
This conference also received strong support from the World Wildlife Fund (Switzerland) Beijing Representative Office, Guangzhou Hongyu Ecological Technology Co., Ltd., and Wuxi Saiteng Mechanical and Electrical Technology Co., Ltd.
Implementing the “double carbon” goal and jointly promoting the development of circular economy
Sun Huaibin, former vice president of the China Textile and Apparel Industry Federation, said in his speech that currently, our country is comprehensively promoting the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation with Chinese-style modernization, which is the fundamental interest and lofty pursuit of the Chinese people. Chinese-style modernization cannot be separated from highqualitydevelopment, and high-quality development cannot be separated from green development, and green development cannot be separated from circular economy. As an important traditional pillar industry in the national economy, the textile industry has always been practicing “double carbon” actions and actively promoting the industry’s “technology, fashion, and green” development. In the 11 years since its establishment, the China Textile Federation Environmental Resources Committee has done a lot of work in environmental protection, resource conservation, and circular economy. It has successively organized and implemented “zero disposal of used clothes”-entering campuses, brand projects, down projects, denim projects, etc. The series of activities has effectively promoted the green and sustainable development of the industry. During the “14th Five-Year Plan” period, the relevant work of the Environmental Protection Committee has gradually focused on certain specific industries and specific products, and further promoted the “zero disposal of used clothes” work.
He emphasized that the consumption of denim clothing is large and widespread, and the environmental issues, resource conservation, recycling and reuse involved are also very complex. It is a challenge and a new topic for the circular fashion industry. In this regard, we must have confidence. While doing theoretical research on circular fashion, we must also pay attention to the implementation of practical plans and problem-solving solutions, so as to form a joint force to jointly promote the healthy and sustainable development of the circular economy of denim clothing.
Guan Yisong, chief representative of the Beijing Representative Office of the Ellen MacArthur Foundation (UK), said in his speech that the convening of this meeting is a stage of the China Textile Federation and the Foundation’s research on the low-carbon circular economy transformation of the denim clothing industry. It is a summary and a meeting to promote industry exchanges. As an important category in the textile industry, denim clothing has a strong demonstration effect and influence on realizing circular transformation.
He pointed out that in the context of “double carbon”, the construction of ecological civilization and low-carbon development have become more popular, and the task of realizing low-carbon and circular development of the textile industry has become increasingly urgent. Relevant national departments have successively issued documents and clarified the recycling development goals of the textile industry. By 2025, a waste textile recycling system has been initially established. At the same time, the EU has also issued the “EU Sustainable Development Goals” and Circular Textiles Strategy”, which regards the textile industry as one of the key areas for the development of circular economy. Therefore, in the highly competitive textile industry that emphasizes innovation and adaptability, manufacturers must be responsible for products along the value chain. Only in this way can a circular textile ecosystem be established. In the future, the foundation will establish strategic partnerships with more textile brands, actively carry out dialogue and exchanges, help them establish visions and strategies for transforming to a circular economy, and pragmatically promote the rapid development of circular economy in the textile industry.
Using denim low-carbon cycle as a pilot project to create an industry demonstration benchmark
Hua Shan, Director of the Industry Department of China Textile and Apparel Federation, shared the topic of “Current Status and Development Trends of the Textile Industry” based on the economic operation of the industry from January to September. . She said that before the outbreak of the new crown epidemic, along with changes in the external situation and the expansion of the scale of the industry itself, my country’s textile industry had entered a development cycle of slowing down overall growth and in-depth adjustment and transformation. She said that in the future, industry development should focus on new changes in market demand, fully integrate into the international supply chain system, and expand fibersupport.
Shi Fulong, Director of Distributed Technology of Trina Solar Co., Ltd. China, introduced the company’s global leading photovoltaic smart energy overall solution based on cases. Trina Solar’s distributed photovoltaic can achieve energy-saving solutions in different scenarios. The plan has achieved remarkable results in energy saving and emission reduction and can help enterprises to upgrade to low-carbon.
“Today was a very effective, informative and enlightening meeting. Everyone had multi-dimensional discussions and exchanges on the green, low-carbon and cyclic development of denim clothing and the entire industry. It is very in line with the current national green development strategy and has a positive impact on the industry. The high-quality development of circular economy in the future industry will play a positive role in promoting it.” Yang Donghui, former vice president of China Textile and Apparel Industry Federation, said in his concluding speech that developing circular fashion is not only the responsibility of the industry, but also the future of sustainable development of the industry. The development of circular economy requires the joint efforts of the whole society and the whole industry.
