China'S Old Textile Recycling System Is A Waste Of Raw Materials, But Relies On Imports.

< p > November 8th, "China's annual waste a target=" _blank "href=" //www.sjfzxm.com/ "> textile < /a > stock of about 26 million tons.

"China's textile industry is facing a crisis of shortage of raw materials."

< /p >

In the contradiction between two phases, there seems to be an answer to P's contradiction.

Sun Huaibin, Deputy Secretary General of the China Federation of textile industry, suggested that we should accelerate the recovery and comprehensive utilization of waste textiles and alleviate the shortage of raw materials in the textile industry.

< /p >

< p > however, the real recovery and comprehensive utilization of waste textiles is not easy.

A waste product recycling is mostly self operated, small in scale and dispersed in layout, and does not have the basic cleaning capacity. Two, due to the lack of cleaner production standard system and quality standard, testing and supervision system, consumers are generally worried that "black cotton" will make profits while making trouble.

Therefore, how to smoothly link raw materials and recycling enterprises and fill the blank links in the industrial chain has become a major issue related to the sustainable development of China's textile industry.

< p > < strong > guarding the raw material but relying on import < /strong > /p >

< p > textile industry is an industry with high resource dependence and high environmental sensitivity. For China's textile industry, which is more than 40 million tons per year and accounts for 10% of global fiber production, the consumption of non renewable resources is very large, and most of the textiles will be disposed of in the next one or two years, which will bring huge environmental pressure.

< /p >

According to a data from the National Statistics Department in 2012 P, the total amount of waste textiles produced in China is about about 24000000 tons a year, and less than 3/10000 of them are recycled.

This year, this data has been aggravated. According to Tang Shi Jun, Deputy Secretary General of the strategic alliance of technology innovation of waste textiles comprehensive utilization, this year, the stock of waste textiles in China is about 26 million tons, of which 18 million tons of chemical fiber and 8 million tons of natural fiber, and the sales volume and recycling amount of waste textiles are still very low.

< /p >

< p > at the same time, China's textile raw materials import volume of up to 65%, fiber production enterprises to keep raw materials "not enough to eat", but to import "foreign garbage" from overseas, but also highlights the urgency of recycling and reuse of waste textiles in China.

< /p >

< p > Tang Shijun said that the recycling of waste textiles is the only way to meet the requirements of ecology, green, low carbon and environmental friendliness.

During the "12th Five-Year" period put forward in the "12th Five-Year development plan for textile industry", we should focus on 50 key technologies for energy conservation and environmental protection, including two recycling technologies for waste textiles.

< /p >

< p > according to the research conducted by BIR institution at University of Copenhagen in Sweden in 2008, the conclusion is that using 1kg waste textiles can reduce 3.6kg carbon dioxide emissions, save water 6000L and reduce 0.3KG fertilizer and 0.2kg pesticides.

Therefore, a large number of recycled waste textiles, compared with the processing and production of raw materials, significantly reduced carbon dioxide emissions.

Therefore, relieving the pressure of raw materials and recycling waste textiles is an important way to achieve environmental protection and quick results.

< /p >

< p > < strong > waste of existing recycling system is serious. < /strong > < /p >

< p > on the one hand, the consumption of textile raw materials is huge, on the other hand, the waste textiles bring more environmental pressure, but there is no formed recycling system in our country.

< /p >

< p > according to Professor Zhao Guoliang of Beijing Institute of materials, < a target= "_blank" href= "//www.sjfzxm.com/" > clothing, < /a > > Institute of materials, Beijing, for example, tens of thousands of tons of waste textiles are produced from waste garments, carpets, interior decoration textiles and nearly 3000 garment enterprises in Beijing each year. Some of the waste textiles are pported to Beijing suburbs and surrounding provinces and cities. Some of them are mixed into daily life landfill, and the degradation of synthetic fibers takes a long time, resulting in long-term pollution to the environment.

< /p >

< p > "even after a simple physical method, it will cause serious waste of resources."

Zhao Guoliang said that many of the waste textiles are mainly used to make products with low added value, such as stuffed cotton, low-grade felt, mop and other products, which are not treated differently.

< /p >

< p > it is understood that the recycling mode of waste textiles in China is mainly dependent on the collection of small traders and the centralized location of the waste.

Some garment enterprises in developed countries have begun to encourage customers to send unwanted clothes back to the store for two times through free or coupons.

Compared with that, our country has a great gap and has also caused waste.

< /p >

< p > the reason why the industry has little interest in recycling waste textiles is self-evident.

There will be a market for old fibers only when they become new fibers, but the production process will inevitably result in a higher cost of recycled fibers than native fibers.

Therefore, only by breaking through the price can the reuse of old fibers be possible.

Therefore, the establishment of waste textile recycling system in China depends on preferential policies and the formation of social consensus.

< /p >

< p > Sun Huaibin said that the recycling of waste textiles is related to the national strategy of resource conservation and environmental friendliness. The government needs to give policy support. The relevant ministries and commissions of the national development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of environmental protection and the Ministry of industry and industry should introduce various policies to encourage development, even if 42 guidance points are enough to guide the industry.

< /p >

< p > < strong > green pformation depends on standard support < /strong > /p >

< p > in the 12th Five-Year plan of the national textile industry, the utilization of renewable resources in textile and garment industry has already set a clear goal.

However, many textile and garment enterprises still do not have a set of feasible solutions and specific action rules for the recycling of waste textiles. There are still many problems to be solved in the recycling process of waste textiles.

< /p >

< p > according to Tang Shijun, the first thing to deal with in the recycling process is safety.

Because all kinds of waste textiles are complex sources, there may be serious sources of infection and pollution. Therefore, disinfection and cleaning should be the first.

However, whether disinfection or cleaning is very complicated is difficult, and the cost of detection is very high.

Some products that have been decomposed and loosened without sterilizing are likely to be pformed into "black heart cotton" into the market.

< /p >

< p > Tang Shijun suggested that we should improve the recycling system of waste textiles, research and develop new, fast, effective classification and sorting technology for waste textiles, and research and develop new, fast, effective and low-cost technologies for detecting disinfection and cleaning quality, and form national standards to prevent "black heart cotton" from flowing into the market.

< /p >

< p > Sun Huaibin said that in view of the recycling and reuse of waste textiles, < a href= "http://sjfzxm.com/news/index_s.asp" > China's textile industry < /a > Federation will promote the formulation of a reasonable and economic recycling technology route for waste textiles, improve the recycling and processing network of waste textiles, establish and improve the cleaner production standard system and quality standards, testing and supervision system, expand the market application of the waste textiles re-use products, and finally promote the standardization and scale development of the comprehensive utilization of waste textiles.
