How Does The Textile Industry Achieve Low Carbon?

From the life cycle of textiles, we can reduce the carbon footprint of products from the following five aspects.

Raw material

Developing low carbon materials, improving various chemical dyes, developing recyclable fibers, minimizing damage to the environment in fiber production and dyeing.

Production technology

Through the process reversion and simplification, mechanical transformation, heat recovery and textile wastewater reuse system and other ways to improve energy efficiency and reduce pollution to reduce emissions.

clean energy

In the manufacturing process, the use of low emission energy, such as natural gas power generation. And the development of renewable energy, such as solar energy, to change the way in which coal and steam were used before.

Transport / packaging

It is more green to ship by sea, without air links. Abandon complex packaging and replace it with simple packaging to avoid waste.

Using process

During the cleaning process, the use of 40 degrees of water can reduce the carbon footprint by 45% compared with 60 degree water. The use of water at 30 degrees Celsius will reduce the footprint of carbon by 40% compared with 40 degree water. Furthermore, it is recommended to use a laundry / dryer with first class energy labelling and to avoid using clothes dryer every time after washing.
