China's Old Clothing Recycling Lacks Corresponding Policies And Has Great Potential For Recycling.

Recently, Zhengzhou Hongda Group independently developed the old product clothing recycling and production site will be held in Zhengzhou, Henan. More than 20 responsible persons watched the old. clothing The process of recycling.

Only one piece of clothing entered into the cut-off machine instantly to pieces. Then, after the suction pipe was put into the impurity removal machine, the buttons, zippers and other debris were removed. Finally, through the tear - loose single root. yarn - combing - fiber. "This set of equipment can handle 1 tons of old clothes per hour."

According to Wang Weimin, chairman of Hongda Group, this is the first step in the recycling of old clothes and clothes. The second step is combing. fibre Separation - long fiber as recycled fiber, short fiber can be used as non-woven fabrics, building materials and so on.

　　 Great potential for recycling

According to data from the China Resources Comprehensive Utilization Association, about 26 million tons of old clothes are abandoned in China every year. According to Wang Weimin analysis, according to the 50% separation rate, the old clothes discarded have 13 million tons of fiber, exceeding the national cotton output per year. Taking Henan, a populous province as an example, produces at least 1 million 90 thousand tons of waste textiles per year. If each ton of old clothes is recycled, it can produce 0.8 tons of fiber, which is equivalent to saving 0.5 tons of cotton and saving 35% of the same fiber. More importantly, physical sorting does not produce two pollution and reduce environmental pressure. This shows that the potential of old clothes recycling is huge.

　　 High cost of renewable resources

According to Wang Weimin, the developed countries in the United States, Japan and Europe have already formulated relevant laws, regulations and strategic objectives for the recycling of waste textiles. The government's active support has greatly promoted the recovery and reuse of waste textiles. However, in China, there are still lack of corresponding policies and laws and regulations. The comprehensive reuse of waste textiles has not really formed industrialization, and most of the waste textiles have not been comprehensively utilized.

The first reason is to engage in waste. Spin The scale of recycling enterprises is small and scattered, and there are safety risks in the industry. Secondly, the production cost of waste textiles becomes renewable resources. At present, the production cost of recycled fiber is 1.2 times higher than that of raw fiber. Because the production cost of recycled fiber is higher than that of raw fiber, the downstream enterprises are not enthusiastic about the demand for recycled products. For example, Zhengzhou Hongda Group has invested about 3000000 yuan in the early development of the old clothes and clothes recycling equipment. Most renewable resources enterprises are struggling. The fundamental reason for the high cost is not the formation of the industrial chain and industrial scale. In addition, the popularization of recycled fiber is not enough in China, and public awareness is not high enough. While in Japan and Europe and America Most consumers already use renewable resources as a way of life.

　　 Policy support is the key.

In Britain, the guests of new charity shops are not always attracted by low prices. Buying second-hand clothes becomes a new nostalgic and low-carbon way of consumption. In the United States, their disposal is not limited to old clothes that can be recycled. The old clothes are distributed by non-governmental charities all over the United States. Zhao, who emigrated to Boston, said: "in order to facilitate donations to the public, almost every community has a collection box for old clothes. These old clothes were sent to second-hand clothing stores, materials recycling institutions and third world countries after charity organization's recycling, sorting, cleaning and disinfection.

The reutilization of waste textiles in China is slow development and low popularity. The fundamental problem that restricts the development of our old clothing market is its legitimacy and related subsidy policies. In order to form the market and scale of waste textiles, government policy support is the key. Standardization and large-scale development of enterprises are the guarantee. Changing consumers' negative support for old clothes is the basis for their positive support, and the three are indispensable.
