Authoritative Survey Shows That More Than 80% Of Textile Enterprises Are Willing To Paste "Carbon Labels".

The French "new environmental protection act" (Grenelle 2) requires that products sold in the French market be mandatory. product Environmental information, which includes carbon dioxide emissions from the entire life cycle (i.e., the whole process of raw material, manufacturing, storage and transportation, abandonment and recovery), and the information provided on the product also includes water consumption, natural resource consumption and the impact on natural environment. The bill will begin trial operation in July 1, 2011 for at least 1 years. As the supplier of the global industrial chain, most of China's foreign trade enterprises also need to take corresponding measures under the international situation. If " Carbon labelling Large scale acceptance by enterprises and consumers is bound to bring certain impact on enterprises. At the same time, how to reduce the total carbon value of enterprises will become a problem that enterprises must think about. For the "carbon label", what is the understanding of Chinese textile and garment enterprises? What kind of attitude will they take? The clothing times combined with the first textile network has been investigated. As of press release, a total of 43958 textile and apparel people participated in the investigation.

Keep your eyes far away.

France's "new environmental protection act" (Grenelle2) requirements carbon content The label can be done by marking, tagging, posting or any other "appropriate" way. In March 2007, the world launched the first batch of carbon labelling products in the world. Japan, the United States, Sweden, Canada and South Korea followed the launch of the carbon labelling scheme. In June 26, 2009, the US House of Representatives passed the clean energy security act of the United States, which authorized the US government to propose a punitive "carbon tariff" from 2020 on the products exported to the United States, and a ton of carbon dioxide will be charged about 10-70 US dollars.

Foreign "carbon labelling action" thrive, so does China's textile and garment enterprises know about "carbon labelling"? 10.87% of the enterprises know well, 38.70% of the enterprises know more about it and are ready to implement it; 46.70% of the enterprises do not know it very well, and the total number of enterprises that do not understand is 3.73%.

45.03% of respondents believe that the restriction of regulations and standards is the reason why they are willing to stick the "carbon labelling", which is more or less passive. They think that the leading reason of the national economic incentive policy is 2.50%, 43.19% of the respondents see new business opportunities and new profit growth points; 9.28% of respondents believe that the social pressure of corporate reputation is an important reason.

Chinese textile and garment enterprises are more positive about the "carbon labelling". Lu Aifen, general manager of Colorful City Clothing Co., Ltd., Suzhou, Jiangsu, told reporters: "for our clothing enterprises, the introduction of" carbon footprint labels "will quantify all low-carbon indicators and obtain data in every production line, parts and components, and production links. Production will definitely increase, but in the long run, the recovery cost will be reduced, and the virtuous circle of the industrial chain will play a good role, which in turn will lead to sales and profits.

It's hard!

A manager of a clothing export company admitted to reporters that "carbon labelling" is a little difficult for textile and apparel enterprises to carry out. "Now that energy conservation and emission reduction can meet the requirements of the government, it will be fine. Where else will we pay extra energy to do" carbon labelling "?

Textile and garment enterprises are still labor-intensive enterprises, and are at the lower end of the global industrial chain division of labor. They rely on lower manpower and raw material costs to accumulate small profits. Labeling them with carbon labels is not easy for them.

For the reason why they do not want to label "carbon labels", 54.43% of enterprises are too reluctant to label carbon labelling because of the technical reform of enterprises. 26.57% of enterprises think that the funds needed to change the status quo are too large for enterprises to bear, and 19% of enterprises think they do not know much about carbon labels.

Many export textile and garment enterprises have said that since the beginning of this year, customers in the European Union and South Korea have asked enterprises to provide relevant data on "carbon footprint" of products. Even though they think that labeling a carbon label means investing a lot of money, they still have a positive attitude towards it.

"Carbon labelling" is only a prelude.

Insiders say that "carbon labelling" is just a prelude to carbon tariffs. Although carbon labelling is called "label", it is actually not as simple as "labels" understood by enterprises, but also a manifestation of the technology level of carbon emission reduction behind products.

Many textile and garment enterprises in China have realized that the pressure brought by low carbon economy will come unexpectedly. In terms of supply chain, enterprises have already reduced some carbon emission methods. 27.07% of enterprises believe that the upstream and downstream enterprises should be systematically integrated to achieve the docking of low-carbon technology transformation, 51.68% of enterprises should implement clear procurement standards, encourage upstream enterprises to provide low carbon products, and 21.25% of enterprises believe that energy conservation management in supply chain is effective.
