Establishing Traceability System Of Plant Dyeing And Accelerating New Standardization Of Double Carbon Target

In the new era, under the historical background of pursuing healthy life, promoting green sustainable development and practicing the goal of "achieving carbon peak by 2030 and achieving carbon neutralization by 2060", plant dyes have attracted much attention due to their non-toxic, harmless, environment-friendly, biodegradable and special medicinal value.

On October 10, 2021 China plant dyeing industry standardization construction forum and initiation ceremony of plant dyeing traceability certification system project sponsored by China plant dyeing (plant dyeing) industry alliance was held in the National Convention and Exhibition Center (Shanghai). More than 100 people attended the forum, including leaders of China Textile Industry Federation, representatives of member units of China plant dyeing (grass and tree dyeing) industry alliance, elites of textile and garment industry and representatives of news media from all over the country.

The forum was presided over by Ma Zhihui, vice president of China Textile Construction Planning Institute and vice chairman of China plant dyeing (plant dyeing) industry alliance.

Zhang Deliang, vice president of Shanghai Academy of Textile Sciences and deputy leader of plant dyeing working group of China Textile Federation Standard Committee, introduced the development of standardization construction of plant dyeing at home and abroad. He said that since the establishment of the working group on plant dyeing standardization, a number of industrial standards and group standards for vegetable dyes have been implemented successively. The industry standard "technical requirements for quality of plant dyed woven garments" which is being formulated specifies the terms and definitions, dye characteristics, physical and chemical properties, instructions for use and inspection methods of the technical requirements for vegetable dyeing of woven garments, It is expected to be submitted to the National Standards Commission by the end of the year.

At the forum, she said that color comes from nature and belongs to nature. Plant dyeing is an important part of China's intangible cultural heritage. Only by means of modern science and technology to recreate production and modern fashion forms can traditional technology remain prosperous, adhere to creative transformation and innovative development, and find the connection between intangible cultural heritage and modern life, To meet the people's growing needs for a better life.

In his concluding speech, Feng dehu, President of China Textile Construction Planning Institute and chairman of China plant dyeing industry alliance, shared with you the future development trend of plant dyeing industry from three aspects of carbon emission reduction, standardization and traceability.

He elaborated from the perspective of dye preparation and printing and dyeing process, and calculated through real production data collection that 27 tons of carbon emission could be reduced by 27 tons per ton of plant dyeing needle knitted fabric compared with synthetic dyes, which confirmed that the plant dyeing industry was in line with the scientific conclusion of "achieving carbon peak by 2030 and carbon neutralization by 2060".

As the leader of the plant dyeing working group of China Federation of textile standards committee, Feng dehu announced at the meeting the short-term task of drafting the group standards of Gardenia jasminoides, Zanthoxylum bungeanum, pomegranate peel and Dioscorea cirrhosa, which will continue to fill the lack of the world plant dyeing standard system and consolidate the development foundation of China's leading the global plant dyeing industry.

Finally, Feng dehu made a detailed introduction to the "plant dyeing traceability certification system" developed by China plant dyeing (plant dyeing) industry alliance. It is reported that the system takes six levels of linked data from raw materials of vegetable dyes to terminal textiles as the core, and provides certification for the traceability of ingredients, logistics tracking and interactive marketing of products through the form of "one thing, one code".

At the end of the forum, Yu Zhicheng, Ji Junling, Xie Qing, Feng dehu, Zhang Deliang, Chen Wen and Ma Zhihui (from left to right) jointly witnessed by the guests, Feng dehu announced the formal start of the plant dyeing traceability certification system project, and released the basic image of visual identification of the traceability system. The successful completion of the forum and the launching ceremony has won a new breakthrough in promoting the sustainable development of plant dyeing industry under the goal of "double carbon" in the beginning of the 14th five year plan!
