World Expo, Shanghai: Ecological Recycling And Recycling Clothing

along with environmental awareness The popularity of old clothes recycling is getting more and more popular. However, most of the old clothes recycling is just chopping up clothes and making low-grade products such as mops and quilts.

The clothes of German Pavilion staff are different. Their uniform They are orange jacket and trousers, and a waistband that can be hung around the waist. The whole outfit is not surprising, but its texture is exquisite.

What they wear T-shirt Buried in the soil for 16 weeks, it can be completely degraded. The coat is more magical, and can be made into chemical fiber cloth through a series of technologies such as decolorization and so on. Their shoes are made of natural rubber and cork, and they can also be recycled.

A staff member of the Japanese Imperial textile company, which is responsible for the production of this chemical fiber fabric, explained that the clothes were recycled ten times and eight times, and the feeling of wearing would not change.

This kind of ecological circular fabric, which can be recycled without delay, was developed in 2002. The main technology is to recycle recycled cola bottles, old clothes, and even waste newspapers and so on, and then make the regenerated polyester fiber fabric products after crushing, chemical reaction and polymerization. The clothing made of this kind of fiber is different from other chemical fiber products. The difference is that this fiber can decolorization process through technical means, and other fibers can not do this. This process can reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions of garments by 80% respectively, according to Japan's Dai Ren fiber company.

In the Japanese Industrial Museum, the clothes worn by the service personnel also use this recyclable new fabric. After the end of the Expo, these uniforms will be shipped back to Japan and processed and recycled through the recycling system.

The industry pointed out that this ecological recurrent fabric has two problems: first, because of the special technology, the price of clothing is usually about 1/3 higher than that of ordinary clothes, so its sales situation is not very good; two, because the fabric is still unable to get rid of the characteristics of chemical fiber products, it is less comfortable than cotton and linen products.
