Countermeasures For Low Carbon New Technical Barriers

Yesterday, the textile and garment export enterprises sponsored by the Quanzhou Economic Commission met with the "carbon tariff" seminar in Europe and America. Wang Yingli, a well-known environmental expert in China, gave the seminar. Quanzhou Enterprises have brought about carbon stealth, carbon tariffs and other invisible. Trade barrier Coping strategies.

　　 Low carbon New technology barriers

According to the introduction, the so-called carbon footprint of textile products is the amount of carbon emitted from a ton of cotton and a ton of yarn to a garment. In terms of the evaluation and quantification of specific products, Wang Yingli believes that we need to go deep into factories, do detailed investigations, determine the estimation methods, calculate the accurate carbon emission data of the products, and find ways to reduce carbon emissions, that is, low carbon.

The low carbon test faced by China's textile industry is very severe. Especially in developed countries, the implementation of "carbon tariffs" will make the Chinese textile industry at the low end of the textile supply chain suffer a great impact. For example, a 400 gram polyester pants, if life expectancy is 2 years, washing, drying, ironing will produce carbon dioxide emissions of 47 kg. The original textile industry is more concerned about pollution, emissions and other issues. Now it is from a larger climate perspective, to measure the environment of the enterprise. Low carbon will ultimately consider the energy use, technological upgrading and sewage disposal of the enterprise, and ultimately its root is energy conservation and emission reduction.

It is understood that textile and clothing has always been the focus of trade protection in the international market, and carbon tariffs are the best barriers in developed countries. At present, 5 Nordic countries such as Denmark, Finland, Holland, Norway and Sweden have implemented carbon taxes, which will impose heavy taxes on textile and clothing products that exceed their emissions. New Zealand and Britain have launched carbon labels. Therefore, Wang Yingli suggested that enterprises need to have long-term vision, pay close attention to the relevant industrial policies of the state, pay close attention to the trend of the international market, and do well in advance.

Carbon data collection should be emphasized.

Many enterprises still have some limitations in the work of energy conservation and emission reduction, and there is a short, flat and fast emission reduction effect. In this regard, Wang Yingli believes that enterprises in the energy saving and emission reduction project after completion of the need for certain diagnoses, through the diagnosis of specific recommendations, for example, in the procurement of raw materials need to pay attention to what aspects; in the internal production process, which need to pay attention to what key steps or parts; also need a corresponding system to collect important data information, according to these information, management can bring forth new ideas every year.

The proportion of exports in the textile industry is high. The European and American countries now attach great importance to the carbon content (carbon footprint) of their products. The current carbon tax policy is widely applied to export products. The carbon base of products needs relevant data. If the enterprise does not have such data, it will not meet the standards. To maintain industry growth and position in the international market, Wang Yingli believes that the textile industry should pay special attention to the content of carbon components. Now the enterprises have done a lot of energy conservation and emission reduction work, but we need to make some transformation of them. "For example, ask experts to transform energy consumption, including monitoring in the process, according to the standards and processes of carbon footprint." For example, she introduced a label on the T-shirt produced to show how much carbon consumed in the production of the shirt.

We can start from the supply chain.

What are the biggest difficulties and bottlenecks facing the development of low-carbon economy? Wang Ying Li summed up two points: first, the lack of technological capabilities of enterprises, mainly refers to some soft technologies, especially the evaluation and monitoring system of carbon emissions, including the ability to timely and effectively disclose information and how to better link with market rules and so on. Two, the decision-making and awareness of leaders are easy to cause enterprises to ignore the acquisition of soft technology.

She believes that both the carbon evaluation and the supply chain management are aimed at making the value of each product produced by an enterprise higher, and that the value is reflected in the same dollar product, which consumes the least energy. Therefore, textile enterprises can start from many aspects in terms of low carbon, including internal basic design and equipment. If internal management operations are not in place, it is likely that good technology will not be effective, and all factors such as raw material purchase and late product sales should be concerned about energy consumption and carbon emissions.
