Japanese Textile Giant Asahi Asahi: The Environmental Fabric Is Buried In The Soil And Can Be Degraded Around.

Recently, Asahi decided to add 4 million square meters / year capacity to the Lamous suede factory in yokokawa, Miyazaki Prefecture, Japan, and the total capacity will increase to 14 million square meters / year in 2021. Lamous artificial suede is dyed by Italian company Miko and sold under European Dinamica brand.

It is reported that Lamous is a high-quality artificial suede, with a unique three layer microstructure. Its luxurious smooth texture and design flexibility and excellent environmental characteristics make the material widely used in the field of automotive interior decoration, furniture decoration, IT accessories or clothing.

Lamous's demand for automotive interior accessories and IT accessories is particularly strong in the world. With the expansion of capacity, Asahi will further enhance its supply capability in this growing market.

The output of yokoka Prefecture, Miyazaki Prefecture, is now increasing from 6 million square meters per year to 10 million square meters per year. Starting from the second half of fiscal year 2019 (April 2019 -2020 March), the capacity of Asahi Asahi will increase from 10 million square meters per year to 14 million square meters per year. The plant's maximum capacity plan was launched in the second half of fiscal year 2021 (April 2021 to March 2022).

KoushiroKudou, President of the "high performance material" of the Ministry of strategic business of Asahi, said:

"Asahi Asahi is determined to contribute to a more sustainable society. In Europe, Lamous is dyed by Italian company Miko and sold mainly under the Dinamica brand as automotive interior materials. A part of Lamous is made from recycled polyester and is treated with waterborne polyurethane. It is a very environmentally-friendly material. With our sustainable products and technology, our Lamous business will further promote the continuous growth of the artificial suede Market. "

Lamous has three layers: the former, the latter and the core. They are entangled by 3D microfiber, and the core layer is composed of special woven fabrics called "base cloth", which can improve strength and dimensional stability. Waterborne polyurethane impregnation can give Lamous a soft and highly flexible texture.

The environmental fabric of Asahi Asahi can be degraded around the soil.

The appearance of bright and fashionable fashion often conceals huge environmental destruction. From the production of fabrics to the disposal of the final discarded garments, there is a pollution that can not be ignored in almost every link. With the rise of environmental awareness, sustainable development of environmentally friendly fabrics has become the focus of attention.

Recently, AsahiKasei, a Japanese chemical and Material Sciences Corp, displayed the dress made of its pure fibrin Bemberg (BB) fabric at its 2019 spring summer clothing material exhibition. The design of the dress itself is not very impressive. The most shocking feature is its environmental characteristics: buried in the soil, as long as four weeks can start to degrade.

Bemberg is a product developed by Asahi Asahi. The invention and application of copper wire can be traced back to 1897 and industrialized production in Germany the following year. In 1928, the founder of the Asahi chemical company, nu Kou, signed the formal signing ceremony of the introduction of technology machinery in New York, in accordance with the German JP bingba representative. Asahi Chemical Co., Ltd. started producing copper and copper wire in 1931. After more than 80 years of technological breakthroughs and innovations, Asahi has become one of the largest producers of copper and silk in the world today. From now on, the use of copper wire has gradually expanded from lining to coat, underwear, functional underwear, home textiles, knitting and so on.

Bemberg brand of copper wire is a 100% recycled fiber whose raw material is cottonseed velvet which was not used as fiber before, wrapped around the seeds of cotton seeds. Asahi Asahi has made use of its own technology to refine and dissolve part of the fuzz, making it a pure regenerated fiber. Compared with ordinary natural fibers, Bemberg fiber is very thin and even. After chemical treatment and technical processing, comfort is better than cotton.

In 2017, Bemberg was certified by GRS (GlobalRecycledStandard) of TextileExchange. According to the official website of Bemberg, this material will be decomposed after being buried in the soil. For example, in the summer environment (temperature 35 degrees, humidity 80), the weight will be reduced by half in two months, and will be returned to the soil as a microbial food. Because their raw materials are natural materials, even if they are incineration, they will not produce harmful substances.

The production process of Bemberg is also very environmentally friendly. It uses the self generating equipment of Asahi Asahi, and the proportion of renewable energy such as hydroelectric power and biomass energy generated by the factory is as high as 40%. In addition, Asahi Shasheng will use the fiber scraps produced in the Bemberg production process as power generation fuel for reuse, and fully recycle and recycle the waste discharged from the factory. Including other wastes, it has basically achieved a zero emission rate of 100%, and the zero emission rate in 2016 has reached 99.8%.

Asahi Asahi is actively taking measures to promote this fabric. In 2017, the company sponsored Fashio in Japan. The Eleventh FormePresentation event, organized by nBizNavi (fiber Fashion Industry Association), enables fashion students to create their works by feeling the beauty of fiber. Students who participated in the activity first studied the relevant material knowledge at Bemberg University, which was organized by Asahi Asahi, and then went to visit the company's Commodity Science Institute in Shigan City, Shiga Prefecture, and then used the fabric to design and produce their own works.
