China's Waste Textile Recycling And Reprocessing Industry Chain Still Has Potential Safety Problems.

"Along with clothing The scale of the comprehensive utilization of renewable resources in textile industry has been expanding, and a separate industrial chain has been formed. Gao Yong, vice president of China Textile Industry Federation, made the above statement in today's "2012 national textile industry energy conservation and emission reduction working conference". Gao Yong pointed out that in 2011, the total amount of waste textiles in China's reprocessing and utilization reached 3 million 380 thousand tons, accounting for 14% of the annual social stock, and showed different characteristics all over the country.

　 The recycling and reuse of waste textiles has formed an objective industrial chain.

Reporters learned that in December 2011, the national development and Reform Commission issued the "12th Five-Year" comprehensive utilization of resources guidance, in which the guiding opinions on waste textiles pointed out that the establishment of waste textiles recycling system, the development of waste textiles comprehensive utilization of common technology research and development, expand the recycled textile market, initially formed recycling, classification, processing and utilization of the industrial chain.

According to the on-the-spot research conducted jointly by China Textile Industry Federation and China Resources Comprehensive Utilization Association and General Logistics Department Quartermaster Equipment Research Institute in 2010-2012, the recycling and reprocessing of waste textiles in China has formed an objective industrial chain in various parts of the country.

In Shanghai and Guangzhou, with the help of the government, the professional recycling companies will classify and recycle the waste clothes and send them to the Ministry of civil affairs and charities, or sell them to the enterprises or processing sites as raw materials. In Beijing, Tianjin and other places, the recovery of waste textiles is mostly civil behavior. Some retail recycler concentrate the waste textiles to the distribution center for further processing. According to statistics, there are more than 2000 people engaged in such work in Beijing. In the Cangnan area of Zhejiang, a textile waste recycling base has been formed. It can handle millions of tons of textile waste every year. There are more than 2000 professional enterprises whose output value exceeds 15 billion yuan.

　 Urgent need to standardize the management of industrial chain to eliminate hidden dangers

In view of this initially formed industrial chain, insiders pointed out that there are some problems and difficulties. According to the on-the-spot research conducted jointly by China Textile Industry Federation and China Resources Comprehensive Utilization Association and General Logistics Department Quartermaster Equipment Research Institute in 2010-2012 years, the total amount of waste textiles imported into China in 2011 has reached 3 million 380 thousand tons, accounting for 14% of the annual social stock. The recycling and reuse of waste textiles in China has formed an objective industrial chain. At the same time, there are also insiders pointed out that this emerging industry chain also has hidden dangers, lack of management and other issues.

Cheng Hao, director of the office of the environmental protection and resource conservation Promotion Committee of the China Federation of textile industry, said that the problems existing in this area are incomplete regulation of recycling channels, and there is a great potential for environmental and health risks in processing methods.

From the current situation, recycling of waste textiles from raw material supply to spinning, making, selling, market All applications are available. But the source of the industry is still away from the system and management. According to the survey results, many processing sites are mainly family workshops, small in scale, large in quantity and small in volume. Some of them belong to "three no" processing points. Their production environment is bad, the quality and hygienic condition of products are not guaranteed, and the added value of products is low. In addition, for this underground industry, our country has not yet established effective management tools, and no official statistical data, no relevant technical support.

In response to this situation, the "circular economy plan" of the Chinese textile industry in 12th Five-Year put forward the goal of building a recycling system for waste textiles and promoting the standardization and scale development of the comprehensive utilization of waste resources in the textile industry. And put forward the measures to establish and perfect the recycling and processing network of waste textiles through the access mode, and establish and improve the cleaner production standard system and quality standard, testing and supervision system.

Cheng Hao said that with the improvement of relevant policies and systems, new technologies continue to break through and apply. Spin The comprehensive utilization of renewable resources in the industry will lead to a new development period.
