Cao Xuejun, Department Of Consumer Goods Industry, Ministry Of Industry And Information Technology

On May 31, Kick off meeting of China textile recycling innovation research project It was held online, with 62 units including brand purchasers, recycled material manufacturers, government departments, professional associations and research institutions. (see below for the list of some participating units)

Cao Xuejun, first level inspector of the Department of consumer goods industry, Ministry of industry and information technology She pointed out that the national development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Commerce and the Ministry of industry and information technology jointly issued the "Implementation Opinions on accelerating the recycling of waste materials" in April, which emphasized the goal of textile recycling from 2025 to 2030, promoting green and low-carbon industrial production, and promoting industrial green and low-carbon production In addition, she further introduced the four key tasks of the Ministry of industry and information technology in supporting textile recycling, including: Research and formulate the road map of waste textiles recycling, the difficulties and key points of key technologies; Combined with the double carbon target, the method and evaluation system of waste textile resource value accounting are studied; Support the construction of green fiber trusted platform; Formulate the classification guide and label use standard of waste textiles and clothing Etc.

Cao Xuejun, the first level inspector of the consumer goods industry department of the Ministry of industry and information technology, Yu Kun, director of the textile department, Zong Ruilong, deputy director of the textile department, and all cadres of the textile department attended the online meeting to listen to the participants' sharing

Cao Xuejun In the speech, he expressed his expectation for the textile recycling innovation research project, hoping that the project could focus on the in-depth investigation and carding of the road map of waste textile recycling, material recycling sorting and recycling technology difficulties; Strengthen the cooperation and communication among the recycling participants including brands, manufacturers, recyclers and sorters; To explore the mechanism and operation mode of industrial chain coordination of recycling and reuse; To strengthen international cooperation and make up for shortcomings, we should carry out cooperation not only in technology, but also in standards, value accounting and certification systems, so as to promote the recycling of textiles to a new level

In the second part of the agenda, Yan Yan, director of social responsibility Office of China Textile Industry Federation He attended the meeting and introduced the practice and Prospect of circular innovation in China's textile industry. She mainly reviewed the initiatives and practices of China Textile Industry Federation in the field of circular economy in recent years, further analyzed the challenges of resources and environment faced by fashion industry and the evolution process of domestic and international policies. She emphatically introduced the main findings of the Research Report "circular fashion: China's new textile economy", as well as the basic model of circular transformation of China's textile and garment industry Important direction, new progress, new trend and circular transformation significance.

Yan Yan pointed out that, "The development of China's textile circular economy has initially formed its own mode. It is non renewable, and the substitution of raw materials. Energy saving and consumption reduction in the production process has become an important direction of the industry development. In the whole production link, energy saving and consumption reduction and resource recycling utilization are also the focus areas of the whole industry. In addition, the standardization of waste textiles recycling is also a focus area Significant progress has also been made. The circular transformation of the textile and garment industry shows a multi terminal transformation from the design end to the consumer end. Specific actions start from the original design end to find solutions, and gradually shift from the end of the governance model to advance prevention. Reduce the impact on the environment from the source. " China's textile cycle innovation research project will also analyze its feasibility through the basic research of textile to textile recycling mode, and promote the industrial dynamic cycle transformation.

Considering that the current cycle design is still in the initial stage of concept proposal and appeal, the technology, process and equipment innovation of cycle innovation are insufficient, the top-level design and corresponding policies, supporting systems and standard systems need to be further improved, and the driving force of green consumption market is not enough, and there is a lack of professional platform and professional talents to promote cycle fashion. China textile recycling innovation research project is to promote change, Hu Kehua, deputy director of social responsibility office and director of sustainable development project of China Textile Industry Federation It focuses on the work planning of the project, sharing the expected objectives and work plan. This project focuses on the status and problems in the recycling, sorting and reuse of six main textile fiber materials (cotton cotton, polyester fiber, mmcf man-made cellulose fiber, nylon, acrylic acrylic fiber and elastane spandex), explores technological innovation paths, business models and market opportunities, and writes China's T2T industry innovation report. At the same time, the project will carry out capacity building for participating manufacturers, and hold T2T industrial innovation report release conference to provide industrial panorama for the circular transformation of textile industry.

In the seminar, five representatives were invited to share the following issues: driving forces and concerns of using recycled materials; The challenge of using recycled materials; Main recycled materials used; Cost difference and sensitivity of recycled materials; The difference between the quality of recycled materials and raw materials.

Haynes Morris group As a leader in many explorations and practices in the global textile recycling field, it is clear that recyclability and climate change are two important themes of the group's sustainable development. Xu Jiawei, public policy manager of Haines Morris group Share the leading goal and practice of Hain Morris group in textile cycle during the conference.

Xu Jiawei It is pointed out that most of the global start-up recycling technology companies are located in Europe and the United States, and the recycling direction in Asia is mainly physical recycling; At the same time, due to the fact that most of the recovery technologies of blended fabrics are in trial production stage, the quality performance of cotton products recovered by physical method is not very stable, while other fiber recovery technologies are not mature; Due to the lack of infrastructure for pretreatment and pre separation of post consumer textile recycling, the corresponding capacity and willingness are insufficient, and most of the recycling tends to collect raw materials before consumption. Therefore, Hynes Morris group hopes to become the main participant and promoter of China's textile circular innovation project, and jointly promote the technological innovation and sustainable practice of China's textile supply chain.

Professor Zhao Guoliang of Beijing Institute of fashion

Professor Wang Huaping of Donghua University

Xu Jingyun, director of Jinba men's clothing science and technology innovation center, and Gao Hongguo, director of pleasant home textile technology innovation On behalf of Chinese brands and textile enterprises, the paper shared the practice and exploration of local enterprises in textile recycling. Professor Zhao Guo of Beijing Institute of fashion and Wang Huaping, Professor of Donghua University The technical route of sorting waste textiles and fiber recycling was summarized in simple terms, and the participants expressed their ideas.

After the kick-off meeting, the social responsibility Office of China Textile Industry Federation will, with the support of China Textile Information Center and Haines Morris group, carry out research and analysis together with domestic and foreign brands, textile recycling material manufacturers, recycling sorters and other professional institutions that are mainly engaged in recycling practice, and actively build an exchange platform for brainstorming, Strive to complete the expected results of the project by the end of 2022 to create more opportunities for promoting textile recycling innovation.
