Build a waste recycling system and launch the “China Textile and Denim Circular Development Plan”
In order to break the constraints of resources and environment and cope with climate change, the “14th Five-Year Plan” Circular Economy Development Plan and the “About Accelerating the Recycling of Waste Textiles “Implementation Opinions” and other relevant regulations, build a resource recycling industrial system and a waste material recycling system, improve resource utilization efficiency, accelerate the construction of ecological civilization, and help the industry achieve the goal of “carbon emission reduction and carbon neutrality”, July 15, China Textile Industry Federation Environmental Protection and Resource Conservation Promotion Committee and the Ellen MacArthur Foundation co-sponsored the denim circular development with the theme of “Circular·Denim·Start a Green Future” The meeting was held online.
Yang Zhaohua, Vice President of China Textile and Apparel Industry Federation, Sun Huaibin, former Vice President, Hua Shan, Director of the Industry Department of China Textile and Apparel Industry Federation, and Cheng Hao, Deputy Director, China Cotton TextileVice President of the Industry Association Wang Yao, Laura Balmond, Director of the Ellen MacArthur Foundation’s Circular Fashion Initiative, Guan Yisong, Chief Representative of the Beijing Representative Office, Fifth Research Institute of Electronics of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (China Saibao Laboratory) Dr. Jiang Tao from the Center for Environment and Green Development, Professor Dai Xingyi from Fudan University, Chen Qianwei, consultant of the Guangdong Textile Engineering Association and other relevant leaders, experts, scholars and representatives of relevant enterprises attended this meeting. The meeting was divided into the main venue of China Textile Federation and a branch venue in Foshan. The meeting was chaired by Hua Shan, director of the Industry Department of China Textile and Apparel Federation.
In his speech, Yang Zhaohua, Vice President of the China Textile and Apparel Federation, said that since the establishment of the Environmental Protection Committee of the China Textile Federation 11 years ago, it has been actively promoting the recycling of waste textiles and clothing, and has successively organized and implemented “zero disposal of used clothes” – Into Campus, brand special, down special, building action and other series of activities, and carried out waste textile resource recycling-industrial sorting-high-value regeneration and recycling path research, recycling closed-loop model industry pilot and value chain assessment, which are very important for promoting the high level of the industry. Quality development, it is of great significance to promote the large-scale and high-value recycling of waste textiles.
In particular, we have strengthened publicity at the social level, organized a series of sustainable fashion activities, organized a sustainable fashion show at the Shanghai Global Entry Center, collaborated with artist Liu Jiayu on a new media art installation (Zhugu Heming), and cooperated with businesses such as Xintiandi to organize A series of educational and practical activities such as “The more environmentally friendly the more fashionable” check-in has formed a good interaction among consumers, brands and production companies, conveyed the concept of sustainable fashion, and effectively Promoting the green and sustainable development of the textile industry.
He stressed that this time the Environmental Protection Commission and various partners launched the “China Textile Denim Circular Development Plan” to make up for the shortcomings through strengthening international cooperation and promote the development of brands, manufacturers, recyclers and sorters. Collaboration and exchanges between recycling participants and joint exploration of solutions for recycling and high-value utilization of denim clothing resources will promote the transformation of industrial recycling production methods, promote the “carbon peak carbon neutrality” process in the textile industry, and promote the construction of ecological civilization. has great significance.
Guan Yisong, chief representative of the Ellen MacArthur Foundation (UK) Beijing Representative Office, said in his speech that developing a circular economy is an important task under China’s “double carbon” goals. The “14th Five-Year Plan” circular economy plan will be completed by the National Development and Reform Commission this year. The promulgation of a number of circular economy-related policy documents such as the “Opinions on Accelerating the Implementation of the Recycling of Waste Textiles” demonstrates the Chinese government’s attitude towards intensifying efforts to promote related work. In March this year, the European Union Commission officially released the “Sustainable Products Initiative” under the framework of circular economy action, in which the textile policy stated that “the textile products put on the EU market by 2030 The use cycle and recyclability efficiency of textiles need to be comprehensively increased. Most of the raw materials of products will be made of recycled fibers and do not contain harmful substances. Consumers should have higher quality, affordable textile choices, and fast fashion will be gradually phased out. , emphasizing that manufacturers should be responsible for their value chain products, encourage innovative fiber use, and use fiber recycling and application capabilities to minimize the burning and landfilling of this textile.” These requirements will gradually be transformed into relevant requirements in the future. EU laws, regulations and standards will affect all textiles sold in the EU market, and will also have a great impact on China’s textileexports.
He stressed that the policies jointly issued by China and Europe convey the determination to solve the resource consumption and environmental problems caused by the linear economy in the textile industry, and accelerate the consensus of the transformation of circular economy. In the future, the circular economy of the textile industry will further develop from policy guidance to industrial practice. The Foundation has been actively promoting the circular transformation of the textile industry together with leading textile brand companies in the EU and the world. Denim is a very representative category of textiles. It has great potential to carry out demonstration work for transformation. We look forward to working with China Textile Federation to promote the transformation of denim and even the entire textile industry into a circular economy in the future.
��These are not problems that can be solved at the industrial level alone. For this reason, it is necessary to expand the scope of work.
He emphasized that the choice of the denim industry first coincided with the “Circular Fashion Denim Reconstruction Project” advocated by the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, which linked fashion with lifestyle and consumer behavior, and proposed some denim recycling paths. Solutions that meet the requirements of market economy. In order to find a wider range of large-scale solutions, it is necessary to have industrial support and require the joint assistance of industry organizations, platform institutions, brands, and enterprises to form a joint force. This is not only the responsibility of the country, the industry, but also the responsibility of the enterprise. Through this meeting, the “China Textile Denim Circular Development Plan” was jointly launched. It is hoped that more institutions and enterprises will participate in project-related work, exert their strength for the sustainable development of the textile circular economy, and set a demonstration for the development of the national and world circular economy.
