National Development And Reform Commission: Textile Industry Will Increase The Application Of Biological Technology

The national development and Reform Commission recently released the "14th five year plan" for bioeconomy development. This is the first Five-Year Plan of bioeconomy in China, which defines the specific tasks of bioeconomy development. Biological technology will be widely used in textile and other industries.

In the aspect of biomass alternative application, the plan proposes to create an industrial strain and protein element library with independent intellectual property rights, promote the popularization and application of biotechnology in light and textile industries, build a biomass energy production and consumption system, promote bioremediation of environmental pollution and resource utilization of waste, and ensure ecological security and energy security. In terms of promoting the development of bioenergy and bio environmental protection industry, the plan calls for the promotion and application of biodegradable materials products, focusing on the application and demonstration of textile materials and other fields, so as to promote the reduction of production costs and improve product performance, and actively explore the market of biomaterial products.

According to the reporter's understanding, in recent years, the research and application of biotechnology in new textile materials at home and abroad has developed rapidly, which is promoting the sustainable development of green manufacturing industry. Textile biotechnology is an important direction in the field of textile energy conservation and emission reduction technology, which mainly includes the application of biological enzymes in textile processing, the research and development and application of new bio based fibers, the dyeing and functional modification of natural pigments on textiles, and the style finishing of textiles. These technologies all use bio based raw materials, which are eco-friendly, easy to degrade, and cause little or no pollution to the environment.
