Accelerate The Green Transformation Of The Industry! Sun Huaibin, Vice President Of China Textile Federation, Gave A Detailed Explanation Of China'S Textile Ecological Civilization Journey In 2019

At the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, ecological civilization construction, economic construction, political construction, cultural construction and social construction were included in the "Five in One" overall layout of the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics. The Fifth Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee put forward five development concepts of "innovation, coordination, green, openness and sharing", and the 19th CPC National Congress put forward the goal and task of accelerating the reform of the ecological civilization system and building a beautiful China. This year, the Fourth Plenary Session of the 19th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China put forward the idea of "adhering to and improving the system of ecological civilization and promoting the harmonious coexistence of man and nature", further clarifying a series of institutional arrangements for building a beautiful China, reflecting the deepening of the Party's understanding of the laws of ecological civilization construction, aiming to further play the role of institutions in the construction of ecological civilization and promote the harmonious development of man and nature, And take it as an important part of the modernization of the national governance system and governance capacity.

It should be said that the construction of ecological civilization under the new background has played an important role in the current economic and social development of China. For the textile industry, adhering to green development, accelerating the construction of resource-saving and environment-friendly industries, and promoting the construction of industrial ecological civilization is also the only way for the sustainable development of the industry.

From November 18 to 21, the "China Textile Ecological Civilization Journey" sponsored by the Environmental Protection and Resource Conservation Promotion Committee of the China Textile Industry Federation will enter Henan Zhongda and Hebei Xingtai Smart Indigo Liquid Production Demonstration Plants. Recently, Sun Huaibin, Vice President of China Textile Industry Federation, received an exclusive interview from the media on the construction of ecological civilization in the textile industry, and explained the profound meaning of this activity.

Actively implement national policies

Sun Huaibin said that under the framework of textile ecological civilization, the China Textile Industry Federation has carried out a series of activities such as "Water Action in Textile", "Zero Abandonment of Old Clothes", "Energy Saving and Emission Reduction Diagnosis" and so on since 2014. Since 2016, it has also developed green design products in the industry, created green factories, built green parks, and cultivated green supply chain enterprises, Up to now, more than 10 standards related to green manufacturing, such as silk and quilt fabrics, have been issued, and a training course on "Evaluation and Management of Green Design Products in Textile Industry" has been held. He particularly emphasized that the China Textile Industry Federation and the China Association for the Research and Promotion of Ecological Civilization jointly developed the "Evaluation Index System for Cultivating and Creating Ecological Civilization Demonstration Enterprises in the Textile Industry". Under the premise of scientific and reasonable enterprise layout, nearly 60 indicators were achieved through five modules, including ecological economy, ecological environment, ecological human settlements, ecological culture, and ecological system, As the yardstick and scoring basis for evaluating the establishment of ecological civilization of textile enterprises, and as a basis for improving policy, technology and management guidance for enterprises carrying out ecological civilization demonstration activities, it is referred to as "1+5" model. The ultimate purpose of the evaluation is to incorporate the indicators reflecting the construction of ecological civilization, such as economic benefits, resource consumption, environmental risks, education and training, and social responsibility, into the comprehensive evaluation system of enterprise economic development. At the same time, the system will gradually form evaluation standards and mechanisms that are consistent with the ecological civilization construction and sustainable development of the textile industry through the accumulation of experience through trial sets.

For this reason, as the pioneer of China's green manufacturing development, the textile industry for the first time proposed that the establishment of green factories in the textile industry should follow the "Five Modernization Principles": that is, on the premise of meeting the basic requirements, green factories should be established in accordance with the principles of plant intensification, harmless raw materials, clean production, low-carbon energy, and waste recycling evaluation. As the main body of production and operation, textile enterprises play an important role in economic and social development, energy conservation and environmental protection, comprehensive utilization of resources, etc. The establishment of ecological civilization at the enterprise level can accumulate valuable experience for the industry and even the entire industrial ecological civilization construction, and can also provide improvement basis for the green evaluation of enterprises. Through such an exploratory, operable and sustainable activity as Wanlixing, we can not only commend the advanced enterprises and set a model, but also deeply publicize the excellent enterprises in the textile industry for ecological civilization construction, and gradually enhance and expand the cohesion and influence of the textile industry for ecological civilization construction.

Sun Huaibin pointed out that green development takes harmony between man and nature as its value orientation, green, low-carbon and recycling as its main principles, and ecological civilization construction as its basic starting point, which is an inevitable way to break through resource and environmental bottlenecks. The country is accelerating the establishment of legal systems and policy guidance for green production and consumption, and the economic system of green and low-carbon circular development is also constantly improving. Energy conservation, environmental protection, green finance and other industries have continued to grow and are gradually integrating with industrial enterprises. Promoting the consumption revolution, advocating a simple, moderate, green and low-carbon lifestyle, implementing national water-saving actions, reducing energy and material consumption, and achieving comprehensive conservation and recycling of resources are all advocated by the textile ecological civilization Wanlixing, which are also practical actions to promote the construction of the national governance system and improve the national governance capacity and level. The construction of ecological civilization should not only be limited to the call of the government, but also be a grounded social behavior. Everyone should participate in it, which is very important for achieving the goal of becoming a powerful country and sustainable development.

He also stressed that China's textile industry is actively practicing the development strategy of science and technology, green and fashion, and China's textile ecological civilization has taken a solid step forward.

The purpose of this activity is to help Huangmei enterprises deeply understand the concept of ecological civilization and the leading action of water efficiency, further improve water-saving publicity and technical exchanges, promote green development in the county, and gradually enhance and expand the cohesion and influence of the textile industry to carry out ecological civilization construction.

Try to introduce advanced green technology

Sun Huaibin pointed out that the textile industry, as an environment sensitive and resource dependent traditional manufacturing industry, is closely related to the implementation of green manufacturing projects and the implementation of ecological civilization construction. Next year is a critical period for implementing the strategy of manufacturing power, a crucial stage for achieving green industrial development, and an important year for the transformation and upgrading of the textile industry. Promoting green growth and implementing a new green policy are common choices of major global economies, and promoting green development is an inevitable way to enhance international competitiveness. He hopes to further improve the industry's awareness of green development and speed up the implementation of green transformation of production process through green factory creation and ecological civilization travel activities.

Therefore, this 2019 China Textile Ecological Civilization Journey is trying to introduce advanced green technology to improve the level of green manufacturing from the source. The key is to practice the "three in one", that is, expert visits and evaluations, visits and inspections by industry leaders and enterprise executives, and in-depth visits and reports by media reporters. Through experts, entrepreneurs, and journalists, the "three in one" travel model can be achieved from all angles.

From November 18 to 19, Wanlixing will enter Henan Zhongda Hengyuan Biotechnology Co., Ltd., which is a pioneer in the natural pigment industry and a benchmark enterprise in the application of natural pigments in China. As a high-tech enterprise, Zhongda Hengyuan has built a domestic plant extraction and application research cooperation and innovation platform, and established a tracking and regular communication mechanism with international research and development frontiers. The platform now has academician workstation, natural pigment laboratory, natural pigment engineering technology research center, provincial enterprise technology center, postdoctoral research and development base, and CNAS certified laboratory. Zhongda Hengyuan has dozens of independent core invention patents, a large scientific research and testing team, a modern green factory, and is committed to the development and application of natural pigment standards. Its research and development level is first-class. Sun Huaibin introduced that at present, this enterprise is trying to promote its new technology from food and health care to textile and other fields, in order to help more industries realize green manufacturing from the source of production. He said that for China's textile industry, the color fastness of vegetable dyes and additives have always been difficult to tackle, especially in industrial application and mass production promotion. Take denim processing as an example. China has 80% of the international market and needs a large number of indigo dyes. Zhongda Hengyuan has made a breakthrough in plant pigment extraction, which can achieve quantitative production in the denim industry. In particular, the enterprise has a complete industrial chain of independent planting, research and development, preparation and post service, which is not limited by raw materials, has high extraction purity, and has an industrial foundation. Its own natural advantages can replace chemicals and bring good news to denim processing enterprises.

Sun Huaibin said that for plant dyeing, purity consistency is difficult to solve, and Zhongda Hengyuan can provide solutions in terms of color fixation and color difference technology. In addition, plant extraction is not stable, and Zhongda Hengyuan is not limited to a certain intermediate medium, but enlarges the extraction source to meet the maximum demand of application enterprises.

From November 20 to 21, the "China Textile Ecological Civilization and Water Saving Technology Exchange Meeting for Jeans Industry" will be held in Xingtai, Hebei Province. With the theme of "Green transformation promotes high-quality development of cowboy industry", the conference invited national ministries and commissions, local governments and industry leaders to introduce the establishment of ecological civilization demonstration in the textile industry, interpret the national green manufacturing system construction and industrial water-saving policies, and invited industry experts and enterprises to jointly exchange relevant topics such as the establishment of green factories and the application of green technology. At this meeting, Henan Zhongda Hengyuan Biotechnology Co., Ltd. will make technical connection with Xingtai Smart Indigo Liquid Production Demonstration Factory to help this denim dyeing factory create a new factory based on industrial green dyes and green processes, comprehensively solve the problem of indigo application, and ensure that no chemical reagents are added in the whole production process. This move is not limited to the previous energy-saving and emission reduction measures, but to improve from the source, start with fundamental technology, realize the co construction of related industries, and provide technical support for green development and green manufacturing. It is worth mentioning that the natural pigment extraction technology of Zhongda Hengyuan has a high cost performance ratio, which is very suitable for extensive promotion and application in the textile industry.

Sun Huaibin concluded that this plant pigment extraction technology of Zhongda Hengyuan plays a leading role in industry and technology. Its cross-border cooperation and integrated development with the textile industry will bring new ideas and new directions for the functional development of textiles, which is a new attempt for in-depth industrial cooperation.
