Reduce the "carbon footprint", start from the textile source!

In the process of promoting the "carbon peak, carbon neutral" action, it is inevitable to increase the operating costs of enterprises, but many enterprises through product research and development, energy saving, consumption reduction, improve production efficiency and other innovative measures, while resolving costs to promote the sustainable development of enterprises to a higher level.

Build an industrial chain green ecosystem

He who walks alone goes fast, and many walk far. Promoting the goal of "carbon peak, carbon neutrality" is not a certain link in the textile industry chain, a certain enterprise can achieve, the need for close cooperation between the upstream and downstream of the industry chain, and strive to achieve pollution-free green development of the whole process from raw materials to products, and establish a green cycle ecosystem from the source to the end of the industry chain.

As Li Yubin, executive vice president of Dezhou Huayuan, said, promoting carbon to peak carbon neutrality is not an investment behavior of an enterprise, and requires cooperation and participation of the entire supply chain. The company hopes to practice green textile with upstream and downstream partners to create a better home. To this end, in 2021, Dezhou Huayuan actively participates in the "Climate Innovation 2030 Action" commitment of China Textile Association and the "30·60 Accelerated Carbon Neutral Action of China Textile and Apparel", and jointly with the Accountability Office of China Textile Association, Ai, Lanjing and supply chain enterprises to carry out the carbon emission measurement of Modal clothing LCA, comprehensively measure the carbon emissions of each process, and display the carbon emissions at the consumer end. It has promoted Modal's carbon footprint products to the market and has played a good demonstration effect in the industry.

On the road of green and low-carbon development, Dezhou Huayuan is not alone, and more and more enterprises are making unremitting efforts towards the common goal. Shan Chuanlei, general manager of Qingdao Bonte, believes that to achieve carbon peak carbon neutrality, we must not only do a good job of "subtraction" of energy conservation and emission reduction, but also do a good job of "addition" of clean energy, and promote green low-carbon development with the concept of ecological circle and industrial chain thinking. Therefore, from product source to product output, Bonte fiber reduces resource waste through technological innovation and the use of renewable resources, uses new technologies and new combinations to shorten the production cycle, stabilize product quality, strengthen the collaboration of the industrial chain, and promote the green and sustainable development of the textile industry chain.

As one of the first enterprises to join the "30·60 China Textile and Garment Carbon Neutral Accelerated Action", Sanyou Chemical Fiber has completed the development of dual carbon goals: by 2030 to achieve carbon reduction of 30% per unit product, to achieve carbon neutrality by 2055; Released the company's first "Sustainable Development Report", and plans to prepare and publish the "Sustainable Development Report" on an annual basis, carry out the whole life cycle assessment of textiles, complete the life cycle assessment (LCA) of EcoTang® products, and disclose the EcoTang® carbon footprint information. Zhang Dongbin, deputy general manager of the company, said that in the future, the company will increase cooperation with domestic and foreign brands, gradually gather from two ends to the middle, promote the construction of a transparent, low-carbon and sustainable industrial chain, and lead the new trend of green consumption.

"The company strictly controls the import of raw materials, adheres to a responsible procurement policy, comprehensively audits the forest industry chain and pulp supply chain, improves the proportion of zero-carbon pulp and waste textile pulp, not only realizes the recycling of raw materials in the region, but also actively promotes the recycling of waste cotton textiles in the textile industry together with industry chain partners." At the same time, relying on the regional circular economy system of Sanyou Group, the closed-loop utilization of materials and multi-level utilization of energy are realized. For example, using the advantages of the Group's industrial network, NaOH produced by other subsidiaries is transported directly to the company through pipelines, thereby reducing the carbon emissions generated by transportation." Zhang Dongbin said.

From the top-level policy design to the landing planning and layout of industry enterprises, China's "double carbon era" has officially opened, giving the development of textile industry enterprises new connotation, new challenges and new opportunities. As a textile source, the field of fiber yarns has sounded the "vanguard" to promote comprehensive green transformation, more and more enterprises to practice the double carbon goal with practical actions, committed to join hands with industrial chain partners, around all links of the value chain to propose flexible solutions, jointly create a sustainable development of closed-loop economy, create a new era of low-carbon zero-carbon textile.
