There Is A Broad Prospect For Recycling Of Waste Clothes.

At present, with the increasing speed of clothing renewal and the increasing number of waste clothing, how to deal with these old clothes has become a common problem for many people.

The reporter learned that Lanzhou, Gansu, is recycling waste clothing to promote the recycling of resources through many ways, including recycling boxes and charitable donation points. However, in the actual process, there has not been an effective system and operation mode for recycling, processing, processing and reusing waste clothes.

The industry suggested that the comprehensive utilization potential of old clothing and other resources is huge. Relevant departments should establish and improve the recycling system, processing system, and related policies, regulations and standards evaluation system.

Broad prospects for recycling of waste clothing

For the old clothes, people want to donate clothes that can be worn to help the people who are really in trouble, but there are many difficulties in donating clothes.

On the one hand, it is difficult for ordinary people to understand the specific situation of the quantity and type of clothing required by the donated objects. On the other hand, it is difficult for them to uniformly disinfect clothes. This leads to the fact that old clothes are usually thrown away as rubbish, resulting in serious waste of resources.

Lin Jianping, member of the CPPCC Standing Committee of Lanzhou, has long been concerned about the recycling market of used clothing.

One of his proposals pointed out that at present, the four districts in the suburbs of Lanzhou are more than 3 million of the permanent and floating population, and the annual waste clothes should be over 30 thousand tons.

According to the material, there are cotton, chemical fiber, blended yarn and wool.

And rubber, etc., according to their usage.

,

Bedding, sofa cushion, carpet and so on.

Lin Jianping said that if the old clothes could not be recycled well, they would be discarded, and the water, soil and air would be polluted.

"If all the waste clothes are treated by incineration, the substances they produce contain carcinogenic substances. If they are disposed of by landfills, they will pollute the soil and groundwater due to the decay of cotton and the degradation of chemical fibers."

The reporter understands that most cities in China are troubled by the "whereabouts" of the old clothes.

According to a data from the China Resources Comprehensive Utilization Association, about 26 million tons of old clothes are thrown into the trash cans each year, and the utilization rate is less than 1%. Most of the old clothes have not been reprocessed or processed harmlessly.

"But in fact, these old clothes can be recycled, processed, processed, and become renewable resources, for the two time, to turn waste into treasure.

At present, many foreign countries have made recycling of waste clothes as an important industry category of circular economy, with great potential.

Lin Jianping told reporters.

According to the China Federation of textile industry, if all the waste textiles in China are recycled, the chemical fiber and natural fiber provided annually will be equivalent to 24 million tons of crude oil saved, and 80 million tons of carbon dioxide emissions can be reduced, and nearly 1/3 of the cotton planting area will be saved.

At the same time, it can also be applied to building materials, water conservancy highways, medical and health, automobile interior decoration, furniture manufacturing and many other industries.

In 2015, an enterprise in Lanzhou, jointly with the Lanzhou Charity Federation and the Lanzhou Committee of the Kuomintang, put waste clothes recycling boxes in the local community to solve the problem of "no donation" and waste of resources.

The company called "Hauser business Limited" has invested 100 recycling bins in 30 local communities.

"The enthusiasm of the masses is very high, every 35 days, the boxes will be filled."

Xie Shuaipo, the head of the enterprise, told reporters that after sorting clothes, the company will disinfect 80% new clothes and donate to those in need in poor areas.

And less than 80% of the new, chromatic aberration, and damaged clothing will be made into agricultural heat preservation cotton covering the greenhouses after treatment.

Xie Shuaipo told reporters that the company plans to put 5000 recycling bins, covering every district in the city, so that people's love can be found and resources can be reused.

In addition to corporate initiatives, from this year, Lanzhou will give full play to public finance to buy charity services, and strive to set up a charity branch in 80% of townships and streets in 2020. 50% of the townships and streets will set up charitable supermarkets, and 20-50 counties will receive charity donations.

Shi Ping, a lecturer at the school of Journalism and communication, Lanzhou University, believes that recycling the waste clothes in different ways provides the most direct and convenient way for people to play the role of environmental protection and philanthropy. This can not only inspire more and more people to develop a good habit of helping others, but also help to protect the environment and form the atmosphere of recycling resources.

The reporter understands, at present, the old clothes recycling mode is mainly divided into three categories: one is the way of charitable organizations to raise, two is the environmental sanitation system through garbage classification, and the three is recycling enterprises rely on government recycling economy projects to carry out old clothes recycling.

Many cities, including Lanzhou, are actively exploring ways to recycle old clothes. In Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenyang, Wenzhou and other cities, charitable supermarkets have been launched. Donations from the community to old clothes are received by the community. Donations are processed to the disadvantaged groups after payment, or cash donations are reused to help the needy people.

At present, some enterprises will recycle old clothes purchased by artificial sorting technology and use them as new materials, or produce noise insulation materials for automobiles and household appliances, or as stuffing of stuffed toys, raw materials for paper making industry, etc.

Reporters learned that a professional recycling company in Shanghai will purchase old wool textiles by manual sorting, using ring spinning and airflow spinning to combine yarn.

The company recycls 700 tons of waste materials every year, with an annual output of 640 tons of yarn, with a utilization rate of more than 90%.

Recovery market needs policy escort

Lin Jianping and other respondents said that many areas abroad have realized the comprehensive recycling of waste clothing, making use of waste clothing to make environmentally friendly products such as recycled fiber cloth blocks, car cushions and other environmental protection products. The effect is remarkable, and is worth learning from.

According to the briefing, Japan carried out the old clothing recycling activities. 87% after the renovation, they donated to the refugees through the UNHCR, 3% of the old clothes were used for power generation, and 10% were processed into thermal insulation materials.

As early as 1978, Switzerland set up a company specializing in the recycling and utilization of old clothes.

In the United States, 80% of the old clothes will be renovated and donated, and the other 20% will be mainly used for recycling.

Although China began implementing renewable energy law as early as 2006, there was no corresponding supporting provisions for the recycling of old clothes.

Therefore, despite the great potential of the recycling of waste clothing, in the actual recycling process, many cities, including Lanzhou, have not yet established effective system and operation mode for the recycling, processing, processing and reusing of waste clothes.

Lin Jianping and Xie Shuaipo suggested that government departments concerned should integrate waste textiles into local policies and circular economy development, study rational and sustainable recycling mode and benefit distribution mechanism, and introduce various policies to encourage development. In particular, enterprises and individuals should be encouraged to invest in waste clothing recycling and processing industry, and the system of recycling, processing, processing and recycling of waste clothes should be established to guide the development of recycling and reuse of waste clothing to large-scale and standardized development.

The Lanzhou Municipal Committee of the Kuomintang has conducted research on the recycling and processing industry of waste clothes in Lanzhou.

According to the relevant policies and regulations of the state on recycling industry and reusing enterprises, this research proposal should deal with preferential policies such as tax relief or tax refund for waste clothing recycling and processing enterprises.

At the same time, the neighborhood communities, housing management departments and property management units should be coordinated to allow the recycling boxes and recycling vehicles of the waste clothing recycling enterprises to enter the residential areas free of charge, so as to support the development of the waste clothing recycling enterprises.

"Screening, classifying, cleaning, disinfecting, separating and processing waste clothing, forming different types of renewable resources, processing different types of industrial products, turning waste into treasure, such as recycled fiber cloth blocks, engineering insulation cotton, agricultural heat insulation quilts, car cushions, etc., will enter the market and sell, form a renewable resource industry, increase output value and tax revenue, and also solve some of the employment of personnel."

Lin Jianping said, at the same time, the relevant departments should formulate new and old standards, hygiene standards and processing procedures for old clothes donation, so that clothing donated to public welfare assistance can meet the requirements of integrity, hygiene and safety and the degree of acceptance of the donor.
