Director Zhang Ning shared the topic of "green low carbon cycle, environmental protection, energy saving and high efficiency - sustainable development direction of printing and dyeing". He said that high efficiency, energy saving and low carbon are the development trend of the printing and dyeing industry, and the research and development of fabrics should meet the new consumption needs of fashion, comfort, health and environmental protection in the new era, so it is imperative to reform the printing and dyeing process. Enterprises should develop new technology, new process and new equipment with "ecological concept", and create green printing and dyeing in the future with high and new technology. In the future, low pollution, high efficiency, clean, ecological, environmental protection production is the future development trend of the industry. At the same time, he also introduced four ecological, energy-saving and environmental protection processes of Rebecca in detail, namely 65 ℃ ultra-low temperature dip dyeing pretreatment process, 75 ℃ low-temperature continuous enzyme bleaching process, bio based multi-in-one cold batch process and chemical fiber continuous pretreatment process.

In "carbon emission reduction from the source based on biological basis", director Ye Lei shared the development advantages and advanced experience of enterprises, and explained the reasons for energy saving and carbon reduction of bio based products. He said that at present, sustainable development has become a global consensus, countries around the world are practicing the "double carbon" action, and industry enterprises are paying more and more attention to prolonging the durability, recyclability, repair and reuse of textiles. According to McKinsey's survey report, 55% of the enterprises surveyed plan to purchase more than half of products made from sustainable raw materials by 2025, which combines bio based materials and related environmental protection technologies derived from renewable resources. Bio based materials and bio based chemical additives can gradually realize stable textile circulation, and sustainable fabric is the first step. In this regard, Kekai chemical's bio based technology and bio based microcapsule series products can provide the best degradable scheme. The products not only have anti microbial performance, but also can keep fresh and comfortable for a long time, and can also realize long-term non fluoride waterproof.

Upstream and downstream work together to build a new green future
