Recycling And Reuse Of Textiles To Explore A Recycling Economy Mode

Textile industry

If the waste fiber is reused every year, it can exceed the national cotton output, which is equivalent to saving half of the annual output of Daqing oilfield.

The utilization rate of waste textiles in China is less than 10%, which is far from the advanced level.

A complete and professional industrial chain should be established as soon as possible, so as to realize the recycling and reuse of industrialization, and form a closed circular economy mode of "resource product consumption renewable resources".

The Forum on "recycling resources of China spinning round table", with the theme of "zero abandonment of old clothes" and its implementation path, was held in Shanghai recently.

Wang Tiankai, President of China Textile Industry Federation, said that "zero abandonment of old clothes" is the ultimate goal of resource utilization of waste textiles, the assembly of waste textile industry, and the "13th Five-Year" textile industry.

Comprehensive utilization is the key point to develop circular economy.

Waste textiles and gold mines to be excavated

"Last year, China's fiber processing volume reached 50 million tons, of which about 20000000 tons were consumed domestically.

According to the general calculation of depreciation from 3 to 5 years, the amount of waste textiles is between 5 million and 10 million tons per year.

If these old fibers are reused, they will exceed our annual cotton output. "

Gao Yong, vice president of China Textile Industry Federation, calculated such an account.

According to introduction, waste textiles mainly come from two sources, one is the solid foot fiber material produced in the textile production process, which has been comprehensively utilized in various fields in the production of textile enterprises in various ways.

Two is no longer used in the consumer sector.

Home textiles.

The first white paper on the recycling economy of waste textiles in China, "2014/2015 Research Report on the recycling and reuse of waste textiles in China", shows that in 2013, China has produced about 20 million 73 thousand tons of waste textile social stocks, including 13 million 777 thousand tons of chemical fiber and 5 million 620 thousand tons of cotton fiber.

As the largest country of textile production and consumption, China's textile industry is constrained by the shortage of resources. It needs to import large quantities of raw materials such as cotton, wool, chemical fiber and so on every year.

"Idle and wasted waste fibers used half a year in Daqing oilfield.

If these waste textiles are recycled, the annual chemical fiber can save about 20000000 tons of fuel and reduce about 80000000 tons of carbon dioxide emissions. "

Chairman of China Renewable Resources Development Co., Ltd.

In order to excavate the gold ore of the old clothes, the Federation of Chinese textile industry launched a series of activities of "zero abandonment of old clothes" last year, and understood and acted from the height of industrial development, circular economy and ecological civilization.

During the "13th Five-Year" period, the focus of resource conservation in the textile industry will be shifted from "waste" to "old" recycling.

Gao Yong said.

Promoting standardization of scale

In the face of a large number of waste clothing, it is imperative to establish a complete professional industrial chain as soon as possible, to realize the recycling and reuse of industrialization, and to form a closed cycle economic mode of "resource product consumption renewable resources", which provides a sustainable power for the structural adjustment and sustainable development of textile industry. This has become the consensus of the industry.

For a long time, domestic enterprises engaged in the recovery and utilization of waste textiles are small and scattered, with two serious pollution and low grade of recycled products.

In recent years, textile enterprises generally realize that under the background of economic pformation, industrial upgrading and resource shortage, we must break the current situation of "small, chaotic and poor" in the field of waste textiles, and reconstruct a scientific and efficient modern and industrialized comprehensive reuse system.

Therefore, a number of enterprises began to attach importance to and enter the field of comprehensive utilization of waste textiles.

"We insist on relying on enterprises and taking the market as the guidance, and scientifically guide the recovery and comprehensive utilization of waste textiles in the direction of scale and standardization."

Sun Huaibin, Deputy Secretary General of China Textile Industry Federation and deputy director of the environmental protection committee, said.

In order to realize the reuse and reuse of waste textiles, the most difficult point is to establish a multi-channel standardized recycling system.

Due to the lack of relevant supporting policies and standards, there is not a standard recycling network system in our old clothes recycling.

Shanghai, Beijing and other places that started earlier are also gradually adopting the pilot mode to adapt to local characteristics.

"We should make full use of advanced technology and equipment to improve the efficiency of resource utilization as soon as possible to form large-scale recycling."

Guan Aiguo suggested that information technology could be used to vigorously promote the innovation of recycling methods. For example, the Internet and APP could be considered.

As a new army that has just entered the field of comprehensive utilization of waste textiles last year, the goal of Zhejiang huting group is to create an experimental base for recycling and comprehensive utilization of waste textiles for the whole industry, and serve as a technical platform for the industry.

"We have a sense of mission in this field. We must have a high starting point and work hard together with the upstream and downstream enterprises."

Tichonl, executive director of Zhejiang huding group, told the Economic Daily reporters that Hua Ding is importing foreign advanced sorting and other equipment production lines, and will realize scientific and efficient sorting and sorting of old clothes.

It is urgent to improve policies and strength.

At present, our country

The rate is less than 10%, which is far from the advanced level of the United States, Germany and other countries.

There is a long way to go for the development of waste textiles recycling in China. We need to solve the problems of social feedback mechanism, recycling channel construction, technology research and development and standard system, market promotion, public opinion guidance and even laws and regulations.

Wang Tiankai said.

As a new exploration for the textile industry to enhance the industry and achieve the goal of circular sustainable development, the comprehensive reuse of the waste textile industry is just a prototype of the industry that has just started. To achieve the leap forward development, we need urgent policy support and joint efforts of all sides.

For example, the national industrial policy discount has not yet covered the field of waste textiles.

For example, the current industrial enterprises generally have short industrial chains and have not yet entered the stage of product maturity.

Although some advantageous enterprises have conquered the difficulties in R & D, due to the high cost and low market recognition, it is difficult to produce recycled raw materials for market acceptance.

For example, consumer acceptance of waste textiles and finished products needs to be improved. Most of them are still questioning or wait-and-see.

In the forum of "recycling resources of China spinning round table", the industry generally believed that in order to realize the industrialization and marketization of the comprehensive reuse of waste textiles, the supporting support of relevant policies, the standardization and scale development of enterprises, and the acceptance and support of consumers can not be less.
