When Will Low Carbon Enter The Eyes Of Designers?

　　 Home textile products are the organic combination of science and technology and art. Our design starts from the appearance form, we must give full consideration to and give full consideration to it. We should take into account how to reduce consumption, save raw materials and reduce carbon dioxide emissions in selecting materials and production links. A good designer must have this ability and sense of responsibility.

Material selection pays attention to energy conservation and environmental protection

First of all, those natural plant fibers should be selected first. cotton A pure cotton dress produces about 7 kilograms of carbon dioxide in its life cycle, and a chemical fiber clothing is as high as 47 kilograms, far greater than pure cotton clothing.

Natural fiber can not only effectively reduce carbon dioxide emissions, but also natural fiber can be closely linked with people's life and emotions. In the era of low carbon and saving the earth, it can arouse people's deep feelings towards nature.

Because natural fibers are mostly obtained directly from the natural environment, such as hemp, cotton, wool And so on, so when the earth is damaged and polluted is becoming more and more serious, natural fibers become a natural symbol, a symbol language that reflects the relationship between man and nature, which is favored by consumers.

Bamboo has been widely used in China, and it still has great potential and space for development.

In recent years, bamboo fiber is popular in home textiles, but in design, it should be more environmentally friendly and energy efficient. In the north, Apocynum venetum and a series of environment-friendly fibers processed by high technology can also be widely used.

Botany dyestuff Lower carbon

In printing and dyeing, environmental pollution is a major problem that puzzles the home textile industry because of the technological problems.

From the field of design, we should be familiar with the source and properties of various dyes, and begin to notice from the source of design, and try to avoid serious pollution caused by high carbon emissions.

Vegetable dyes are widely used in the selection of dyes, because plant dyes are more environmentally friendly. Dyestuff, which is used to dye red plants, is the earliest red plant dyestuff used in China. It can grow in most parts of China, has bright color and good color fastness, and has great room for development. It also has "red flower", also known as red and blue grass. Since the Han Dynasty, people have planted red flowers for dyeing. It has been widely used in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, and has been relatively mature in dyeing technology. There are also dyed yellow "grass" and "Gardenia", dyed blue "Polygonum blue", dyed green "Rhamnus", dyed black "soap bucket" and so on. These are introduced in "Tian Gong Kai Wu", "Qi Min Yao Shu" and "Compendium of Materia Medica". Such as plants

At the same time, home textile enterprises should formulate the color standard system of brand products and implement the low-carbon concept. If the enterprise develops its own color system, it can greatly reduce blind endless color matching, prevent multiple dyeing and dyeing, consume excessive energy and discharge carbon dioxide in large quantities.

Formulating the color system of enterprises is not only the need of low carbon, but also the need for brand products to form their own style.

At present, most brands in China's home textile brands do not have their own dominant styles. Most of them do not form their own characteristics. They are copying each other, copying each other, even plagiarizing the wind, killing each other in the market and vicious competition.

Therefore, inheriting and excavating tradition and developing it should be a good topic for printing and dyeing experts. As a home textile designer, they should also be familiar with how to choose colors and colors for products, so that weave technology, technology and materials can be organically combined. At this point, the low-carbon era will be more demanding.

In addition, optimizing equipment, technology, reducing technology, shortening the time, using new technologies, adopting more environmentally friendly, and saving new materials are all effective measures to achieve low carbon goals.

Low carbon starts with design

Low carbon is a concept and becomes a way of life.

It includes understanding of the advanced development direction of aesthetics, market, culture and sustainable development. It is also an attitude towards human nature and values, and is the key to achieving real low carbon.

All of the thinking must be implemented in the end. The realization of "low carbon" needs the efforts of all mankind, and the great cause must start from the efforts of every individual. In particular, as designers, as Daboman, a famous Canadian designer, said in his latest book of design, the designer can change the world, "everything in modern society starts with design and completes according to design."
