Enterprises’ awareness of chemical control has been continuously improved, and the ecological safety of products has generally been enhanced.
4. Breakthroughs in comprehensive utilization of resources. Wastewater recycling technologies such as water-jet weaving wastewater reuse, printing and dyeing wastewater quality treatment, and membrane water treatment have been promoted and applied in the industry. Heat energy recovery technologies such as printing and dyeing wastewater heat energy recovery and setting machine exhaust heat recovery have been widely used. The industrialization of chemically regenerated polyester fiber has broken through technical bottlenecks. The industrialization technology for recycling fiber using physical and physicochemical methods has won the National Science and Technology Progress Award. The zero-disposal activity of used clothes has been further promoted. Waste textiles have been classified and recycled, scientifically sorted and efficiently utilized. Efficiency and level have been steadily improved.
5. The green manufacturing system is gradually formed. The China Textile and Apparel Enterprise Social Responsibility Management System (CSC9000T) has been further promoted. The dimension and connotation of social responsibility have been continuously expanded, and it has been extended to factories invested by domestic enterprises overseas. 55 textile enterprises have joined the Fashion Climate Innovation 2030 Action. The concept of green design has been widely recognized in the industry. Since 2016, a total of 251 green design products, 91 green factories, and 10 green supply chain enterprises have been included in the national green manufacturing system construction directory, and more than 40 green standards have been formulated and released. , leading companies, especially brand companies, have played a leading role in demonstration, and full life cycle green management is accelerating its integration into the textile industry chain system.
Since the “Thirteenth Five-Year Plan”, the green development of the textile industry has achieved certain results, but there are also many problems that plague development and require continued attention. Mainly include: low investment in green environmental protection innovation, lack of innovative talents; relatively weak green collaborative development of the industrial chain, and green management capabilities throughout the product life cycle need to be improved; slow progress in the construction of green manufacturing systems, and insufficient support for green development public service platforms Strong, insufficient effective supply capacity of green products, insufficient efforts to guide green and sustainable consumption; slow construction of waste textile recycling industry chain system, etc.
(2) Green development situation during the “14th Five-Year Plan”
