“Up the chain”, the textile industry transforms into a green high-end “sunrise industry”
“As a traditional industry, the textile industry should accelerate towards high-end, intelligent, and green, upgrade the chain to increase vitality, and build new advantages for development. ” said Shao Changjin, deputy to the National People’s Congress and chairman of Xinxiang Chemical Fiber Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “Xinxiang Chemical Fiber”).
The world’s textiles look at China. my country is a major textile country with the most complete industrial chain and the most complete categories. In 2022, my country’s cumulative exports of textiles and clothing will be US$323.35 billion, a year-on-year increase of 2.5%, of which the cumulative export value of textiles will be US$147.95 billion, a year-on-year increase of 2%.
In recent years, factors such as overcapacity, rising costs, industrial transfer, and a more complex trade environment have had an increasingly obvious impact on the domestic textile industry. In Shao Changjin’s view, from raw materials, spinning, to weaving, printing and dyeing, and finally to clothing and home textiles, the textile industry that is moving forward under pressure urgently needs to further upgrade the entire industry chain.
Xinxiang Chemical Fiber is at the raw material end of the upstream textile industry chain, and the regenerated cellulose filaments it produces are important textile raw materials. Regarding the upgrading of raw materials, Shao Changjin said that my country is very rich in biological resources. We can make full use of resources such as crop waste, bamboo, hemp, fast-growing forests and rich marine life to develop raw material routes that replace fossil resources with biological renewable resources and expand biological resources. The application of base chemical fibers in the field of textiles and clothing reduces the textile industry’s dependence on petroleum resources.
He also suggested that enterprises upstream and downstream of the industrial chain should actively promote green production methods, explore new energy-saving environmental protection technologies, and realize the extension from green raw materials and green products to green production. Target.
Faced with development pressure, printing, dyeing and textile companies in the middle and lower reaches of the industrial chain are also upgrading in the direction of green ecology and advanced manufacturing. In Keqiao District, Shaoxing City, Zhejiang Province, where the national printing and dyeing industry is “one-third of the world”, in accordance with the industrial positioning of “green high-end, world-leading”, 212 local printing and dyeing enterprisesare guided. font>Gather in the industrial park and work together to upgrade the industry. Through scientific optimization and integration, although the number of companies has been reduced to 109, production capacity has increased by nearly 50%. Since the agglomeration upgrade, Keqiao District has eliminated more than 2,000 outdated equipment, and the penetration rate of high-end equipment has reached more than 60%. A number of traditional printing and dyeing enterprises have adopted innovative and ecological printing and dyeing processes such as digital printing and waterless printing and dyeing.
Zhejiang Yingfeng Technology Co., Ltd. in the industrial park was successfully listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange in 2021 and is known as the “golden phoenix” hatched in the “dye vat”. With the help of digital transformation, this company has simplified the printing and dyeing process, reduced labor costs by 30%, and the one-pass printing and dyeing efficiency has reached more than 98%.
Keqiao printing and dyeing enterprises also carry out extensive industry-university-research cooperation with universities and scientific research institutions. In July last year, Zhejiang Modern Textile Technology Innovation Center and Jianhu Laboratory were established in Keqiao, dedicated to researching key core technologies. According to reports, special cables, lightweight auto parts, wind blades, etc. made of various fibers produced here have been widely used in aerospace, marine equipment, new energy vehicles and other fields.
Through chain upgrading, the textile industry is transforming from a traditional labor-intensive industry to an advanced manufacturing industry. The exploration of upstream and downstream enterprises in the textile industry shows that traditional industries must update concepts, innovate products, and innovate technology in order to upgrade the chain and improve quality and maintain a place in the market.
“There are no sunset industries, only sunset enterprises. The textile industry, which is innately linked to fashion, will always be a sunrise industry.” Shao Changjin said that with the advancement of the times and upgrading the chain, traditional industries can also “become new.”
