High-end, green, intelligent, see how the chemical fiber industry to win the future with strength

As the most important raw material in the textile industry, chemical fiber not only meets the needs of the development of the textile industry in terms of volume, but also is an important driving force for the science and technology, fashion and green development of the textile industry. Around the textile industry's "14th Five-Year Plan" key tasks, the chemical fiber industry will build a solid textile industry foundation from the raw material side, lead the textile industry chain value enhancement, take the initiative in the high-end development of new fiber materials, intelligent digital development, green low-carbon transformation and development, and win the future with strength.

In order to improve the innovation and development level of the industrial chain, accelerate the intelligent digital transformation of the industry and promote the green and low-carbon transformation of the development mode, the 2021 China International Chemical Fiber Conference held recently held three forums, namely, the high-end development Forum of chemical fiber industry, the green Development Forum of chemical fiber industry, and the intelligent development Forum of chemical fiber industry. Experts and entrepreneurs from industry associations, research institutes, enterprises were invited to introduce the future development focus and development path from their own perspectives, in order to bring certain innovative ideas to the industry enterprises.

Chemical fiber industry high-end development Forum

Build a solid textile industry foundation from the raw material side

At present, new fiber materials have become the focus of global science and technology development, and scientific and technological developed countries and regions have carried out layout in this field.

At the forum on high-end development of chemical fiber industry, Wang Yuping, director of the National Advanced Functional Fiber Innovation Center, elaborated the future development trend from the perspective of new fiber materials. She believes that new fiber materials are the key to supporting intelligent, green and sustainable development, and the future should focus on trends such as "green", "intelligent" and "ecological chain". Specifically, the first is the development and application of "green" fiber products such as raw liquid coloring fibers, bio-based chemical fibers, and recycled fibers, as well as new opportunities, new markets and new business models brought by new technologies such as energy recovery and carbon dioxide reuse, self-healing complexes, blockchain and distributed ledger, 3D printing, and artificial intelligence. Second, device integration on textile materials in the fields of intelligent color change, flexible intelligent sensing, efficient intelligent deformation, energy conversion and storage; At the same time, make full use of virtual reality, artificial intelligence, blockchain and other cutting-edge technologies to empower the fiber new material industry; Third, the innovation and development of new fiber materials need to build a strong ecological chain, to "strengthen the innovation chain with the industrial chain, empower the industrial chain with the innovation chain, and integrate the innovation chain with the ecological chain."

Textile machinery is the foundation of China's textile industry and the important support of the whole textile industry chain.  During the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, the textile machinery industry will focus on implementing six key projects such as textile green production equipment, textile intelligent processing equipment, high-tech textile equipment, textile enterprise intelligent manufacturing upgrade, textile machinery common technology, and textile machinery standard system, promote the development of 10 subdivisions, and promote the advanced industrial base and modernization of the industrial chain. Promote textile equipment for the future textile industry to expand into a modern industrial emerging resource industry to make equipment support.

Since the 21st century, creating a green and sustainable living environment has become the primary goal of the world. Zhu Jianfei, Minister of Brand Department of Guowang Gaoke Fiber Co., LTD., said that green synthetic fibers, including regenerative chemical fibers represented by recycled cellulose fibers, recycled polyester, recycled nylon, etc., low-carbon synthetic fibers represented by low-temperature dyeing polyester, stock solution coloring polyester, antimony-free metal polyester, etc., bio-based fibers represented by PLA, PTT, PA56, etc. It is increasingly attracting the attention of international terminal brands. He stressed that the supervision of recycled fiber products is very key to the healthy and orderly development of the industry, and the trusted platform of green fiber products to be released by the industry association can achieve the traceability of recycled fiber products and meet the green product standards of the target brand of the terminal.

Jin Gaoling, deputy Secretary-General and director of the market promotion Department of China Chemical Fiber Industry Association, said that brand development has become an important starting point of national economic transformation and upgrading, rising to the height of national strategy, and providing a rare historical opportunity and policy guarantee for the brand development of China's chemical fiber industry. If chemical fiber products want to be brands, they first need to have technological advancement, and combine with social responsibility and terminal consumer demand. Around the development of chemical fiber brand, she suggested: first improve product brand awareness, build a brand management system; Understand the product market positioning and promote the close integration of the industrial chain; Enrich product promotion mode, extend brand influence; Combine brand building with social responsibility to build brand cultural connotation; In addition, it is necessary to strengthen brand management talents and team building.
