Problems In The Development Of Regenerated Textiles In China

Made of waste plastic bottles at the Beijing Taiwan fair 2012. clothing As a display, textiles such as shawls, hats and scarves attracted visitors' attention. The labels on the clothes are drawn from the whole industrial chain icon from plastic bottles to finished garments, and time and environmental protection and energy saving statistics are also shown below each icon. The exhibition of recycled polyester products has become an important part of the green trade plan of the Expo. The two problems of product safety and high price reflected by visitors at the scene have once again exposed the plight of regenerated textiles.

Domestic recycled polyester fiber is also troubled by these two problems. Due to the economic, conceptual and technological reasons, Chinese consumers are still doubtful about the development of high-end consumer goods with waste. Consumers' imagination of waste plastic bottles to clothes is usually replaced by reports of black core cotton remelting, and it is difficult to jump from the "waste garbage" thinking mode to form a new consumption concept of "waste recycling resources consumer goods", which makes the market positioning and consumer acceptance of recycled products difficult to achieve the desired goal. At the same time, due to the increase of technology and intermediate links, the cost of polyester recycling will increase, and consumers will not spend more money on consumer goods made from recycled materials. This concept has affected the development of the regenerated polyester fiber industry, but at the same time, we should see that if there is a reasonable guidance and positive publicity, this market will have huge room for growth. Moreover, regenerated polyester fiber and its original Polyester With the progress of technology and the construction of recycling system more reasonable, the cost difference between them is gradually narrowing. We believe that the cost disadvantage of regenerated products will be solved in the near future.

Looking at the whole world, the consumption concept is being guided by the high-end brand. Major international textile and garment enterprises are making efforts to recycle waste materials. Wang Baoying, China Environmental Safety Manager of Nike sourcing service (Guangzhou) Co., Ltd., at the China International reclaimed polyester conference, said Nike is driving sustainable production and supply chain by optimizing products and processes. Nike set three levels of gold medal, silver medal and bronze medal for environmental design of products. The goal of environmental protection design of footwear products is to achieve the silver target in fiscal year 2015, which uses recycled materials for a very high percentage.

As early as 10 years ago, Japan established a bill for recycling renewable resources, including the establishment of a basic law for recycling society, amendments to the waste disposal law, amendments to the law on the effective use of resources and the green procurement law. In recent years, our country's support policy in the field of recycling is also increasing. In early 2011, the Ministry of Commerce and the Ministry of Finance jointly issued the "notice on the construction of renewable resources recycling system in 2011". In June this year, the seven ministries and commissions of the Ministry of science and technology, the national development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of industry and the Ministry of environmental protection jointly formulated the "12th Five-Year special plan" for waste resource technology projects. The state's policy support shows that the importance of recycling industry is not only to save resources and protect the environment, but also to regenerate resources to create new value. These values are directly reflected in solving employment and paying huge taxes for the state.

And from the development of the industry itself, the industry standard is gradually improving. At the beginning of this month, three regenerated filament yarns, such as "regenerated polyester preoriented yarn", "regenerated polyester low elastic yarn" and "recycled polyester drafting yarn", were implemented at the beginning of this month, which provided a basis for dealing with problems such as marketing, after-sales service, dispute settlement and so on. It will promote the application and development of regenerated filament in the downstream area, and will also play a positive role in promoting technological progress in this field.

The development potential of recycled fiber industry is enormous. According to Zhao Xiangdong, vice president of China Chemical Fiber Industry Association, since 2010, China's regenerated chemical fiber industry has been in the leading position in the world. The average annual growth rate of recycled fiber production is over 12%. It is estimated that by the end of 2012, the capacity of recycled fiber will exceed 8 million tons / year. By 2020, the capacity of China's regenerated polyester industry will reach 10 million tons, output of 7 million 600 thousand tons, and output value will reach 150 billion yuan. China's chemical fiber recycling economic alliance, which was set up last year, is also working hard to promote the development of recycled fiber industry. The alliance is constantly advancing in terms of regeneration system certification, technical specifications and production standards. Relying on the China Chemical Fiber Industry Association and Donghua University as the supporting units, we have gathered the professional and advantageous enterprises of China's regenerated chemical fiber industry chain, and the total capacity of the regenerated chemical fiber has accounted for 60% of the national capacity. This alliance is expected to rise to a "National Alliance", and it also indicates the importance of the regenerated chemical fiber industry in the future development.

All signals indicate that China will be promising in the future of the world's recycled polyester fiber. In terms of quantity and quality, China is capable of strengthening and expanding the cause that benefits the world. However, when profits have been diluted, the industry seems to be in trouble. Some people say that the rapid development of the industry, before the high-end downstream market has yet to open, the lack of development momentum is a stumbling block for progress. Only by integrating resources and making the industrial chain, can we do something in the downstream market opening. The scale effect of enterprises in the industry has not yet been clearly shown. This also indicates that the strength of the fittest in the industry may be further intensified, so that more space for growth can be released for the strong.

Back to the present. market environment It should be recognized that China's social and economic development also provides diverse levels of consumption for the domestic demand market. High, medium and low demand subdivision provides larger market space for the regenerated chemical fiber industry. Aiming at different levels of space, we should make rational use of the recycling resources at hand to maximize the utilization of resources, and provide a way for enterprises to become stronger in relatively small markets.
