From August Onwards, Exports Of French Clothing Should Be Labeled "Carbon Labels".

The latest technology of textile and clothing products held in Foshan

"

On the 22 day, a total of more than 50 children's clothing and textile enterprises participated in the training meeting.

In response to the announcement by the state at the beginning of the year "

"The main change of the new national standard is to improve some technical standards of infant textiles and increase the requirements for hazardous substances."

Foshan City entry exit inspection and Quarantine Bureau of inspection and quarantine comprehensive technology center, said the original wave.

It is understood that the new standard has changed the scope of infant textile products, from the original suitable for 24 months and below to 36 months or less for infants and young children to wear or use textile products.

At the same time, the new standard increased the assessment of "4- azobenzene", and the control of harmful substances increased from the original 23 to 24 species.

In order to break through the green barriers of the international textile industry, the new national standard has also been upgraded to the requirements of international standards in terms of eco textile standards.

"The technical standard of a series of ecological textiles of the new national standard has reached the general Oeko-Tex100 requirement of the international market."

Wang Lei, director of the Guangzhou Certification Center, China Certification Center, said that after the agreement reached between the China Quality Certification Center and the international environmental textile association in the second half of this year, the textile enterprises will be certified by the China Quality Certification Center for Eco textiles and will also be certified by Oeko-Tex100.

It is reported that the new GB will be formally implemented in August 1st this year, and is the only national mandatory standard regulation in the textile industry.

Carbon labelling tests Foshan textile enterprises

At the beginning of the domestic textile industry standard trying to integrate with international standards, foreign green barriers are still upgrading.

The training council information shows that the new environmental protection act passed by France will be implemented in July 1st this year, and the products sold in the French market must be labeled with carbon content from raw materials, production, storage and pportation, and waste recovery, that is to say, carbon labels should be attached.

"80% of our textile and clothing are exported, but the carbon label is said to be very expensive. It may become the trend of the international market in the future, and the company can only adapt to it step by step."

Mr. Mo, a technical director of Xiqiao textile enterprise who came to participate in training, said that foreign technology indicators were updating too fast. Almost every month, enterprises had to accept new standards at home and abroad, and exports were almost led by the nose.

It is reported that the United States, Japan, Canada and other countries and regions are also preparing for carbon labeling legislation.

Green and low carbon textile and apparel have become the new trend of the international market.

Wu Haoliang, Secretary General of Foshan Textile Industry Association, said that there are more and more international technical barriers. "At the same time, the enterprises themselves do not know enough about the new standards at home and abroad, and there are some problems that should not arise in the quality of products."

In April this year, the Beijing Consumer Council released an investigation report on the quality of casual pants in domestic and overseas famous clothing brands including ZARA, G2000, Guan Qi and G-STAR. The results showed that 40% of them were unqualified, involving formaldehyde, pH value and even carcinogenic dyes.

More than 1000 container clothing stranded in Saudi Arabia

Just as Europe and the United States set up green barriers to the domestic textile industry, Saudi Arabia recently strengthened the inspection of textile and garment quality from China.

"Since the second half of last year, many Chinese textile enterprises have been stuck in the Saudi customs, because Saudi Arabia has begun to increase the standard test for imported products."

Wang Dong, an engineer at the Guangzhou Certification Center of the China Quality Certification Center, said that many textile enterprises in Guangdong were blocked outside the gates because of their color fastness.

It is reported that at the beginning of this year, more than 1000 container textiles and garments of more than 10 Shishi enterprises in Fujian were stranded in Saudi customs, because they failed to provide effective inspection and certification certificates.

What is carbon label?

French carbon labelling trial July

Foshan daily news, the French government recently issued the "new environmental protection act", requiring that products sold in the French market will be mandatory to disclose environmental information of products, including marking its entire life cycle (i.e., the whole process of raw materials, manufacturing, storage and pportation, abandonment to recycling) and the carbon content of its packaging, that is, the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) emitted from the production of goods in the production process is marked on the product label to inform consumers of the product's carbon information.

The bill was passed in July 12, 2010 and will start trial operation in July 1st this year, at least 1 years.

Carbon labelling is designed to mitigate climate change, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and promote low carbon emissions technology. The greenhouse gas emissions emitted by commodities in the life cycle are marked on the product labels with a quantified index, which tells consumers the carbon information of products in the form of labels.

With the popularization of energy saving and emission reduction awareness in the world, the trend of the low carbon economy can not be resisted. The carbon label is not only a fashion, but also a bill.

At present, there are 12 countries and regions in the world in legislation, requiring their enterprises to implement the carbon labelling system. More than 1000 famous enterprises around the world regard the "low carbon" as the necessary supply chain. WAL-MART, IBM, IKEA and so on have all asked their suppliers to provide carbon labels.

In March 2007, the world's first batch of carbon labelling products was launched in the UK. In April 2011, Japan began to implement the carbon labelling system for agricultural products. The agricultural products placed in stores were shown through carbon labelling to show consumers the amount of carbon dioxide emitted from their production process.

Countries such as the United States, Sweden, Canada and South Korea have also launched carbon labelling schemes.

From carbon emissions to carbon trading market to low carbonization requirements, the global control of carbon emissions is changing from scientific research and political game to refinement of rules and improvement of feasibility.

In the long run, the real implementation of carbon labelling will lead to significant changes in the supply chain, especially in the consumer goods industry, which will create tremendous pressure on the entire product manufacturing and supply chain.
