Textile Products Can Not Only Play The "Environmental Protection Card".

When we were young, if we lost the rice seed on the ground, we would be asked to pick it up and eat it. This made us understand a simple and easy reason from childhood: it is wrong to waste food, and eating rice grains will also increase the burden of family cleanliness.

In contrast, the waste of clothing has a greater burden on the family and the earth environment.

The game of low carbon clothing

Purchase an ordinary one.

If we had ever thought about it, we would not have bought the clothing step by step in the course of the birth of clothes. We did not mind: the chemical reagents used in the raw material storage and storage process and the weaving and dyeing process polluted the land and water. The whole production chain not only consumed resources such as fuel, electricity and water, but also resulted in the global warming and worsening of the environment.

New clothes, though new, have gone through trials and tribulations, and this is also the tribulation of the earth.

In countries and regions such as Scandinavia, the United States and Australia, where carbon tax is introduced, some environmentalists will consciously log in to the website to pay carbon tax for their new clothes after buying new clothes.

In our country, we shoulder the sense of responsibility for the ecological environment. Consumers who take the responsibility of environmental protection are also beginning to choose to buy clothes with low total carbon emissions.

So what is the clothing with low total carbon emissions? The birth of organic cotton gives us hope. The natural pollution-free and degradable materials in the whole production process are highly respected.

In contrast, focusing on the life cycle of clothing, that is, from raw materials to the final process of degradation, the imitation fur, which does not harm animals, is more like a game, and even subverts our environmental concept.

artificial

This kind of contest is not only existed between genuine fur and fur, but even the production chain of plant fiber clothing such as cotton and linen is longer than the production chain of fur. Can't it exceed the amount of carbon accumulated in the process of weaving and dyeing? There is no standard and no evidence. How can we buy the clothing with the lowest total carbon emissions in the face of the opinions of low carbon clothing brands?

"42 leverages" begins with carbon labels.

At the Beijing fabric exhibition in March this year, Du Yuzhou, President of the China Textile Industry Association, told the head of the textile group of Tianjin when he visited the booth of Tian Fang Group, a piece of advice that the fabric environmental protection thematic product should play the index of reducing the amount of carbon emission on each product, instead of just playing the environmental sign, without data basis.

Du Yuzhou's proposals are now being implemented in some countries and regions.

In Hongkong, the clothing Training Council jointly established the Alliance for sustainable development of garment enterprises in Hongkong. It plans to design low-carbon processes for clothing production in the future and pform them into carbon labels on clothing.

The carbon label of the clothing industry is only a microcosm. In Taiwan, carbon labelling began in March 2010 from the IT industry and food and beverage industry.

Nowadays, large enterprises such as WAL-MART and DELL are pushing forward the implementation of "green supply chain". "Low carbon" is becoming an unofficial standard everywhere in commercial trade.

To tell you the truth, carbon reduction is always a process of "42 leveraging", and all positive examples seem to give us the confidence to look forward to the possibility of "leveraging".

The spontaneous "carbon constraint" in the market has increasingly influenced the operation of enterprises, and undoubtedly is warming up the "carbon levy" of China.

Carbon tax is a tax on fossil fuels (such as coal, natural gas, gasoline and diesel oil) according to their carbon content or carbon emissions for the purpose of reducing carbon dioxide emissions.

In the field of clothing, converting the cost of carbon emissions into taxes and businesses and consumers can make it more intuitive and intuitive to understand the cost of carbon emissions.

In order to deal with carbon tax and reduce expenses, consumers may buy more low-carbon products. Clothing enterprises may purchase or update equipment to improve energy efficiency. More importantly, this passive "levy" will start from the top down, and gradually start from consciousness, forming a virtuous circle in the whole society, so that more people will contribute to carbon reduction.

In this way, we are not going to erase the footprint of carbon emissions, but rather let the greenhouse gases gradually decrease to the normal level with the earth's metabolism.

"To rely solely on carbon tax to achieve emission reduction is unrealistic, but carbon tax as a means of emission reduction, its greatest significance lies in its symbol and guidance."

One of the main researchers of the study on carbon tax in China, Fu Zhihua, a researcher at the Ministry of Finance and finance, said the most typical significance of carbon tax.

Low carbon clothing is a broad concept of clothing environmental protection, generally refers to each of us can consume all clothing in the process of lower total carbon emissions. These methods are mainly advocated from several levels.

In addition to the above mentioned consumer targeting, it advocates its clothing with low total carbon emissions; for clothing enterprises, it can choose clothing made of recyclable materials driven by consumer demand; the other is aimed at the holding process after consumption, advocating increasing the utilization rate of clothing and reducing the total consumption of clothing.

Reducing consumption does not mean that consumers should become non shopping and cut off the flow of clothing extremely. Nor does it mean that they can wear clothes for many years.

It's better to make them look for the more suitable owners. Yes, we are talking about the second-hand pactions of clothing, and also belong to the old part of the resurgence.

Before the industrial revolution completely changed the world, secondhand clothing was an important way of life of all social strata in medieval European society. Even aristocrats generally adopted the way of mixing new clothes and old clothes to alleviate the economic pressure brought by high extravagance expenses.

They habitually take care of the new clothes that they have just bought so as to sell them in the second-hand clothing market so that they can continuously upgrade their luxurious outfits.

And civilians can share the best luxury in the secondary clothing market.

When the consumption concept of environmental protection and carbon reduction has become the mainstream of China and the west, second-hand clothing has been popular again because it can greatly alleviate the anxiety of environmental destruction.

Unfortunately, it is only a handful of fashion leaders.

They are simple and imprinted with historical imprints, especially because of their different styles and tailoring, which give different charm to the mix and match. The price of the new clothes is lower than that of the same style. Besides, it is more difficult for people to share the happiness through the process of changing clothes.
