To further promote the green development of the textile industry, Keqiao launches a pilot carbon footprint certification certification
“Several customers from European and American markets have already put forward demands. Keqiao District has carried out this work, which is really a ‘timely rain’ for enterprises.” Recently, Zhejiang Dongjin Xie Guoyan, deputy general manager of New Materials Co., Ltd., said with emotion. The “timely rain” he refers to refers to the Keqiao District textile industry carbon footprint labeling certification pilot project, which has been approved by the Provincial Market Supervision and Administration Bureau.
The so-called carbon footprint refers to the greenhouse gas emissions in the entire life cycle of a product from raw material mining, manufacturing, transportation and recycling, that is, “from cradle to grave”. The carbon footprint label is a certification of carbon footprint evaluation. As countries around the world pay more and more attention to global climate change, a series of carbon emission plans such as carbon peaking and carbon neutrality have gradually been implemented. Carbon footprint label certification has become an important carbon emission reduction path for developed countries such as Europe and the United States.
“With the carbon footprint label certification, it can be proved that the entire production process of the product is energy-saving and low-carbon. In the future, this certification will become an indispensable passport for companies to open up the mid-to-high-end market.” Xie Guoyan said that the company’s products are mainly functional Sexy fabrics, most of its customers are international first-tier outdoor sports brands, which attach great importance to energy saving and low carbon. In recent years, they have carried out energy conservation and carbon reduction work from raw materials, processes, energy, digital management and other aspects. For example, most of the raw materials are recyclableenvironmentally friendly materials and they are used as much as possible. Photovoltaic power generation and other green energy. “With it, the company can also measure and trace the carbon emissions in each production link, and achieve more targeted emission reduction and carbon reduction.” Xie Guoyan said.
As a new thing, carbon footprint label certification currently does not have a unified certification model in the world, and all countries are still in the exploratory stage. “Keqiao’s first trial will win more initiative for Keqiao, which is dominated by textile foreign tradeexport, in the future global market competition, and will also further promote the textile industry. Green development.” said Lou Dongyin, director of Keqiao District Market Supervision and Administration Bureau.
The reporter learned that the textile industry carbon footprint label certification work mainly includes two aspects: using the complete textile manufacturing industry chain in Keqiao District to establish a set of local standards for carbon footprint accounting general principles, and a set of certifications that can obtain international trade recognition. system.
Based on the characteristics of the city’s textile industry chain, the certification pilot work will focus on the three major production links of chemical fiber, weaving, and printing and dyeing, which are divided into chemical fiber, cotton and linen, silk, and clothing Four major areas. Select 9 to 15 representative companies in each field to collect gas, water, electricity and other energy consumption of different products in various production links, build a detailed and reliable basic database, and establish general local standards for product carbon footprint accounting one by one. At the same time, a carbon footprint label certification system is established, including certification methods, certification work processes, certification manifestations, etc.
The pilot work lasts for 2 years. At present, the relevant standards for chemical fiber fabrics have been successfully established. The other three areas are expected to complete the project before the end of this year, and new standards will be released at the end of next year. In addition, Keqiao District also plans to establish a digital system for carbon footprint marking.
