Guidance on high-quality development of chemical fiber industry

 The industrial sector should accelerate green low-carbon transformation and high-quality development, and strive to take the lead in achieving carbon peak. Looking forward to the development of the "14th Five-Year Plan" and even longer period, the chemical fiber industry will also firmly shoulder the historical mission, help achieve the goal of carbon peak carbon neutrality, and take green low-carbon development as an important goal and task of the "Guiding Opinions". At the same time of the sustainable and healthy development of the industry, it is necessary to achieve a significant reduction in carbon emission intensity, advocate the use of green energy, improve energy utilization efficiency, reduce consumption, reduce raw material consumption, and expand the scale of green products such as low-carbon.

He said that as the main raw materials of textiles and clothing in China, more than 90% of chemical fibers are synthetic fibers, mainly based on petroleum resources as raw materials, reducing its negative impact on the environment and improving the recycling level is the key to the sustainable development of chemical fiber industry, and it is necessary to improve the technical system and standard system dominated by green manufacturing technology. In addition, with the repositioning and understanding of recycled products by textile brands, a new fashion of using recycled products as new materials and consumption has been formed. Combined with the green consumption trend and industrial chain demands, the development of recycling and bio-based materials with natural renewable raw materials, biodegradable and other characteristics is one of the effective ways.

Chen Xinwei pointed out that in order to strengthen the starting point of green development, the Guiding Opinions also particularly emphasized the development and construction of chemical fiber industry green factories, green products, green supply chain, and green parks, and played a supporting role in the green platform and system: Promote the construction of green standards and norms system, make specification announcements for the two industries, and innovatively promote the construction of green fiber industry chain traceability and certification platform.

There is a basis for quantifying new goals

The "Guiding Opinions" determines the development goals of the chemical fiber industry during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, that is, by 2025, the industrial added value of chemical fiber enterprises above designated size will increase by 5% annually, and the proportion of chemical fiber production in the world will be basically stable. The innovation ability has been continuously enhanced, the investment intensity of industry research and development funds has reached 2%, and the research and development and manufacturing capacity of high-performance fiber has met the national strategic needs. The digital transformation has achieved remarkable results, the digital penetration rate of enterprise operation and management has reached 80%, and the numerical control rate of key processes has reached 80%. The green manufacturing system has been continuously improved, the proportion of green fibers has increased to more than 25%, the annual average output of bio-based chemical fibers and degradable fiber materials has increased by more than 20%, the comprehensive utilization level and scale of waste resources have been further developed, and the carbon emission intensity of the industry has been significantly reduced.

For the above quantitative indicators, Chen Xinwei analysis pointed out that the average annual growth of 5% of industrial added value is mainly to consider the idea of implementing supply-side structural adjustment in the new development stage of the industry, emphasizing the improvement of quality and efficiency and high-quality development. During the "13th Five-Year Plan" period, the change trend of added value of chemical fiber industry is basically consistent with GDP, and the "14th Five-Year Plan" period will also maintain this level. At the same time, it is necessary to realize that the chemical fiber industry is a cyclical industry, and its product price changes and profitability are closely related to crude oil and upstream raw materials, so the industry also emphasizes the comprehensive evaluation of the quality of industry operation and development.

The index of digital penetration rate of 80% is combined with the overall goal of the "14th Five-Year Plan" intelligent manufacturing Development Plan, and the second is combined with industry research data, and fully evaluate the current digital intelligent development of the chemical fiber industry on the basis of the goal.

Chen Xinwei said that at present, green has become a beautiful background color for high-quality economic development. During the "13th Five-Year Plan" period, the chemical fiber industry implemented the concept of green development, continued to promote energy conservation and emission reduction and improve the level of cleaner production, accelerated the green transformation of manufacturing methods, the application range of new materials and new technologies continued to increase, and the comprehensive energy consumption per unit product decreased significantly. During the "12th Five-Year Plan" period, the comprehensive energy consumption per unit product of the chemical fiber industry decreased by 36%, and continued to decline by nearly 10% during the "13th Five-Year Plan" period, and the energy consumption level of the industry has reached the international leading level. Thirty-one enterprises and 52 kinds of products were evaluated as green factory and green design products by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, and 39 enterprises' products passed the green fiber certification, of which Quanzhou Haitian is a green fiber product certification enterprise. The quality and scale of new green, low-carbon and environmentally friendly fibers such as bio-based, biodegradable, recyclable and stock solution coloring rank among the top in the world. A number of low-carbon environmental protection technologies such as "efficient recycling of waste polyester and industrialization integration technology of fiber preparation" won the National Science and Technology Progress Award. On this basis, it is believed that the green development of the chemical fiber industry will reach a new level during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period.
