Investigation On The Recycling Of Industrial Textiles For Waste Fibers In China

The theme of "energy saving, low carbon and green development" of the 2012 national energy conservation publicity week ended on June, 16.

During this period, reporters also investigated several enterprises on the topic of waste fiber recycling.

From the activities of publicity week, we can see that energy saving and emission reduction still have a long way to go in our country.

We are just beginning to recycle waste fibers.

Waste fiber recycling can not only turn waste into treasure, but also save resources.

However, due to the influence of technology, management and social recognition, the implementation of the industry in China is not smooth.

In terms of the use of waste textiles in industrial textiles, we can find out from the survey that there are not only industry standards, policy guidance, government management, but also the understanding and support of the downstream market.

A large number of small and medium-sized enterprises test water for recycling, for the use of recycling can only be said to stay at the primary level.

How to standardize the market order, guide the participation of large enterprises, and remove the hat of "black hearted cotton" on top of the head has become the first issue before the industry.

Perhaps everyone knows that recycling is the trend of the times. Saving resources is creating wealth, but implementing action and solving problems is the most fundamental driving force.

Jun Jie: the difference between acquisition and sale is getting smaller and smaller.

Mainly engaged in PP recycled materials, long-term purchase and sale of waste fiber bags and space bags, Foshan Nanhai Junjie fiber recycling company has been engaged in waste fiber recycling industry since 2006.

General manager Ren Xueju thinks that the industry is not very prosperous at present. There are two main reasons: first, the difference between acquisition and sale is getting smaller and smaller.

Before 2008, downstream manufacturers of products sold one ton of waste plastics.

The net profit of the bag is seven hundred or eight hundred yuan, the highest can reach more than one thousand yuan. In the past two years, it has been dropping badly, and it has been very good to reach two hundred or three hundred yuan.

The reason is that more and more downstream manufacturers and limited waste products, in the face of fierce competition, raw materials recycling manufacturers malicious price increases, under the premise that the price of sales products changed little, the profits of manufacturers repeatedly compressed, resulting in many local businesses falling down this year. Two, in the supply of raw materials in short supply, the raw materials sold to the manufacturers are often shoddy, resulting in the quality of downstream products can not be guaranteed.

Sales of recycled fiber products are also getting worse.

The main reason for Ren Sheng to sum up his own business is credit management.

He believes that there are several problems that need to be solved in the industry.

First of all, some manufacturers use waste PP to make fiber bags. When finished products are packaged, they put good quality outside, and they are all defective products, which disrupts the order of the industry.

In addition, environmental protection issues can not be ignored.

Over the past two years, the local government has been increasingly strict in the management of waste plastics and fiber recycling.

Although waste recycling is a resource saving and environmental protection industry, in the process of reprocessing, if we do not pay attention to the treatment of wastewater and waste gas, it will cause two pollution.

What is more, the whole market order is rather chaotic. Small businesses have to fight alone and need more guidance and management from government departments.

Despite the current problems in the recycling industry, he is optimistic when he asks about the future of the industry. He believes that the recycling of waste textiles is the general trend.

Otfa: unqualified enterprises can not enter.

Xinji city otfa Textile Fiber Co., Ltd. is a German AUTEFA full automatic opening machine production line and filter paper production line recycling enterprises.

In 2003, the enterprise began to recycle the fiber, which was originally a joint venture with the Nankai material recycling company in Tianjin to make use of its recycled resources for reproduction.

Li Jingwei, the head of the enterprise, said in an interview that research on waste fiber recycling was early in the country, but the country did not pay much attention before, and the industry did not do much so far.

Domestic enterprises do not invest much in this research and development, and recycling technology is only at an initial level.

The lack of management and vicious competition in the industry has led to the failure of the industry to develop healthfully.

The entry threshold of the industry is relatively low, the production of enterprises is uneven, and the quality of products can not be guaranteed.

For example, the recovery of textiles involves the fading process, and the production of many enterprises will pollute the environment, and some enterprises will also be suspected of fiber fraud.

Lack of industry standards, management is not in place.

He believes that the government should manage the enterprises that are recycling and reusing. The unqualified enterprises can not enter the field and ensure the healthy operation of the industry.

Otfa uses recycled fibers to make nonwovens and then processes them into automotive filter paper.

In the past, the enterprise used 300 tons of fiber per month, and now the cost is high, and the amount of material used is reduced to 30 tons.

At present, the recycling and reuse of waste fiber can also make profits.

The fibers recovered will be shorter and the scope of use will be limited.

Because of the introduction of German equipment, Li Jingwei has some understanding of the development of Germany's industry.

He thinks that China has a great gap with Germany in terms of fiber recovery and needs to learn from developed countries.

In addition, he stressed that the survival environment of domestic enterprises needs to be improved, more policy incentives are needed, and self-discipline is needed.

Jinsheng: there is taboo in recycling processing and recycling.

It is a comprehensive private enterprise specializing in the production of (PP) polypropylene non-woven fabrics, non-woven raw materials, non-woven machinery and non-woven fabrics.

According to the person in charge, the company currently produces PP based materials, supplemented by recycled materials, and recycled materials are supplied by other manufacturers.

It is understood that recycled materials are cheaper than raw materials.

In general, each ton will be three thousand or four thousand yuan cheaper, but not necessarily, mainly depending on the purity of the recycled material.

There are many manufacturers of recycled materials in Guangdong. Jinsheng will pick out cloth with little impurities when purchasing, for example, there are usually more paint and more thread ends.

At the same time, in order to ensure the quality of the final product, the recycle material will be screened and filtered many times, and there will be filtering equipment in the multi-channel production process.

Enterprises have certain requirements for filtering accuracy, and raw materials meet the accuracy standards before they can be processed.

There is still a certain gap between raw materials and raw materials.

Jinsheng does not use waste materials as raw materials, mainly through two production of molecular chain breakage is too much, cloth strength is not enough, and health and safety is not reliable, therefore, all materials are made of full material.

Loyang: good equipment is inseparable from good raw materials.

Changshou City Loyang nonwovens equipment Co., Ltd. is a professional company producing series of complete sets of nonwoven equipment, supplying waste fiber hot melt felt non-woven equipment.

According to Mr. Yue, who is responsible for sales, this year's market is not very good, and sales performance has declined slightly compared with previous years.

In the context of more and more attention of non woven enterprises in the recovery of waste fiber, Loyang nonwovens equipment has also developed waste fiber hot melt felt non-woven equipment.

The equipment can produce hot melt felt with waste fiber, and the products are mainly used in automobile interior decoration and other industries.

With this equipment, non-woven enterprises can use the waste fiber of cotton mill and cloth leftover of garment factory as raw materials, and then melt through the open air and air flow into the net. After the drying room is heated, the melted melted resin is melted, and the waste fiber is bonded to form the product of the waste fiber hot melt felt.

Mr. Yue believes that there is another reason for the bad sales of waste fiber hot-melt felt nonwoven equipment.

The "black cotton" incident on the market has attracted the attention of consumers and the media. Some media irresponsibly blame black cotton on the recycling industry, resulting in shrinkage of the recycling industry and recycling industry.

When they develop equipment, they use recycled materials.

Some manufacturers use equipment to process nonwovens because they use recycled materials too low and too complicated.

Waste recovery and reuse, raw materials also have basic requirements and standards, otherwise good equipment can not "turn waste into treasure."

Cangnan: "black heart cotton" only represents individual behavior.

The pilot base for the comprehensive utilization of waste textiles in Cangnan has been set up, and the recycling of waste fibers has formed a scale here.

According to Lin Ting, sales manager of Cangnan Jetion materials recycling company, the waste textile recycling industry has a low starting point and small investment. Many local farmers use their money to do it slowly.

The waste fiber in Cangnan is from all over the world, including Vietnam, Kampuchea, Italy and other countries and regions.

Some enterprises in the locality use waste textiles to break them up and open them up. They are made into products such as dragging, non-woven fabrics and roadbed fabrics. These enterprises have done well, but some illegal enterprises use recycled fibers as filler for fibrous products and use them as "black heart cotton".

The actions of these illegal enterprises have involved the whole area of waste textile recycling industry.

Coupled with some media coverage, the local recycling industry has been suppressed.

With the development of scale, Cangnan has built a relatively perfect industrial chain.

Recycled fiber is widely used in furniture decoration, clothing, home textiles, toys and automotive industries.

For example, the regenerated cotton fibers can be blended with other fibers, and the regenerated fibers that can not be spun for shorter lengths can be used to make industrial nonwovens for automobile thermal insulation and sofa cushions.

Lin Ting said: "the scale of enterprises here is not large. When recycling and reproducing, it will pollute the environment. The government should centrally manage and provide policy support so that these resources can be reused better."
