In the textile industry, there is such a century old cotton textile enterprise. Since the 1990s, Wuxi Yimian Textile Group Co., Ltd. has actively responded to the call of the state, followed the pace of green development of the times, integrated the concept of sustainable development into the enterprise development plan, adhered to the goal of green and low-carbon, from fiber raw materials to production process, from technological innovation to market promotion, and implemented in every link and every detail Deepen the concept of "low-carbon" development, go through a century with one yarn and one piece of cloth, never change their original intention, and still unswervingly lead the high-quality development of the textile industry with the "technology+product" model, take the road of "integration of industrialization and industrialization", promote energy conservation and emission reduction with informatization, and achieve "low-carbon textile".
No change of heart
Inherit the concept of low-carbon development
Founded in 1919, Wuxi Yimian, as a model of China's national textile industry and the "pacesetter" of China's cotton textile industry, innovated and started its own business, developing the traditional old textile factory into a modern textile group enterprise, increasing its production capacity from 110000 spindles to 700000 spindles, 500 cloth machines, 40000 tons of high-grade yarn and 50 million meters of high-grade fabric annually.
In 2021, the China Textile Industry Federation officially launched the "China Fashion Brand Climate Innovation Carbon Neutralization Acceleration Plan", and Wuxi Yimian became one of the first industrial enterprises to join the "30 · 60 China Textile and Clothing Carbon Neutralization Acceleration Action", It has successively won the "National Technological Progress Excellence Award during the Sixth Five Year Plan", "National Energy Conservation Advanced Unit", "National Quality and Benefit Advanced Enterprise", "National Grass roots Advanced Party Organization", "National Textile Industry Integration Outstanding Contribution Enterprise", "National Textile Industry Integration Demonstration Enterprise", "National Informatization and Industrialization Integration Promotion Energy Conservation and Emission Reduction Pilot Demonstration Enterprise" "Jiangsu Province Informatization and Industrialization Integration Pilot Enterprise" and other titles.

"Energy conservation and emission reduction is not only the social responsibility of enterprises, but also the need for enterprises to improve their competitiveness. Wuxi Yimian has focused on green and low-carbon production since the 1990s, integrated the concept of sustainable development into the planning of enterprise development, promoted brand strategy and strengthened scientific and technological innovation, promoted the transformation to green and low-carbon, developed and applied green materials, and researched and selected energy-saving processes and devices From technological innovation to market promotion, the special parts for materials and textiles should implement and deepen the enterprise's green and low-carbon development concept in every link and every detail. " Talking about the background of low-carbon development of enterprises, Zhou Yejun, chairman of Wuxi Yimian Textile Group Co., Ltd., recalled.
As early as the end of 2013, Wuxi Yimian used green energy for photovoltaic power generation, which alleviated the problem of power consumption. The energy consumption cost of textile enterprises is high, and the electricity cost accounts for 1/3 of the total cost. Under this background, we will vigorously build Wuxi Yimian 3.245MW distributed grid connected photovoltaic power station demonstration project. The roof area of 8 buildings in the project is about 40740 square meters. The construction of the project can reduce the emission of greenhouse gas carbon dioxide by about 2634T every year. At the same time, the enterprise has completed the transformation of 2600 T8 fluorescent lamps, and the transformation of 327600 kwh Y-type motors has saved 844KW in total. The use of high-efficiency energy-saving motors has saved 142129kwh of electricity annually; 853 sets of negative pressure fan blades for compact spinning were reconstructed, saving 2972534kwh of electricity annually; Air conditioning dedusting reduces system resistance, meets the requirements of process air pressure and temperature and humidity environment, and can reasonably adjust the fan frequency conversion for energy saving; The inner cavity of the large pump housing of the refrigeration system is coated with macromolecule to reduce the resistance of the fluid channel and save energy consumption. With the implementation of a series of transformation measures, Wuxi Yimian has also won the honorary title of "2016 Demonstration Unit of Energy Saving and Low Carbon Technology Promotion and Application" in Wuxi City while saving energy, reducing emissions and reducing consumption.
In the process of achieving the goal of "carbon peaking and carbon neutrality", China's textile industry has always been an active force in global sustainable governance, exploring sustainable production models, and vigorously promoting green change in the global fashion industry.

In terms of sustainable production, Wuxi Yimian uses natural fibers, green and environmentally friendly fibers that are easy to degrade and recycled fibers to develop high count and extra high count yarns, and speeds up the research and development of new products and new fabrics that meet the requirements of green development, which not only meet the requirements of ecological environment, but also meet the multi-level and diversified consumption needs of the domestic market. With the continuous improvement of human awareness of environmental protection and safety and health, enterprises have gradually strengthened their understanding of cleaner production. The promotion and application of new technologies, new processes and new equipment for energy conservation and environmental protection have further improved the industrial innovation mechanism. Through deepening the integration of industry and education, various social resources have been integrated to build a cross industry chain, cross department The independent innovation system of cross regional cooperation promotes the improvement of the industry's independent innovation ability, and enhances the added value and international competitiveness of textile products.
In 1995, Wuxi Yimian took the lead in producing singeing mercerized yarn nationwide, and since then, high-end mercerized T-shirts have become popular in the Chinese market; By 2000, Wuxi Yimian was the first company in the industry to develop and produce new products such as cashmere cotton yarn, rabbit hair cotton yarn, silk cotton yarn and 120 pieces of high-density feather proof cloth, forming a product cluster with great competitive advantages; After entering the new century, Wuxi Yimian took advantage of the advantages of introducing compact spinning to carry out research and development of "ultra-high count yarn". In 2005, it was the first to develop 300 cotton yarns in China, which was the first to form batch production... For many years, Wuxi Yimian has been on the road of sustainable production, never stopping.
It is worth mentioning that the self owned brand "TALAK" products of Wuxi Yimian have successfully matched international high-end clothing fabrics and home textile products, and have been linked with famous brands and first-class enterprises such as HUGO BOSS, BURBERRY, ARMANI, and become the world's top suppliers of yarn dyed and knitted fabrics.
Integration of industrialization and industrialization
Accelerate the pace of digital to intellectual transformation
Intelligentization is the future development direction of manufacturing industry, and also an important way for enterprises to achieve sustainable development and improve quality and efficiency. To accelerate green and low-carbon development and comprehensively improve resource utilization efficiency, intelligence is the only way.
In the 1990s, textile enterprises entered a period of fierce competition. Under internal and external pressure, the management team of Wuxi Yimian went abroad to learn advanced management concepts from international advanced textile enterprises. Since then, Wuxi Yimian has opened the road of management innovation and gradually created the best employment level in China's cotton textile industry, which not only enables enterprises to continue to survive, but also creates advantages for enterprises to become stronger, and improves labor production efficiency through innovative management.
In 1975, Wuxi Guomian No. 1 Factory adopted the rotor spinning technology for the first time in mainland China, creating a new era of "weaving without shuttles" in China; In 1979, Wuxi Yimian first adopted 35 world advanced technologies such as automatic winding technology, high-speed worsted technology and textile air conditioning technology, which rapidly improved the technical level, production level and foreign exchange earning level of China's textile industry; In 2001, Wuxi Yimian was the first company in China to adopt compact spinning technology; In 2000, the "innovation gene" of Wuxi Yimian was ignited again, and it took the lead in exploring the "integration of industrialization and industrialization", which raised the "integration of industrialization and industrialization" to the height of enterprise strategic development, giving new life and meaning to textile industry.
Also since 2000, Wuxi Yimian has started the informatization process, with a total investment of more than 80 million yuan. It has established a high-quality and efficient whole process intelligent spinning production line, established an information integration platform and production monitoring center through intelligent transformation, and created a new management mode of "ERP+MES+Internet of Things+Big Data", which is used to monitor energy consumption and production rate in real time, And establish a data analysis model for analysis, find potential points through data, guide enterprises to analyze cotton consumption, electricity consumption, water consumption and other indicators, strengthen machinery and material consumption quota management, and then tap potential points of energy consumption.
At present, Wuxi Yimian has a complete information system consisting of sensor network, BRP and e-commerce, has created a set of distinctive management mode, has realized the deep integration of information technology and various businesses, and has enabled enterprises to have an intelligent "digital nerve" system. Through this system, we can sense production, management and market, and accelerate the promotion of digitalization, intelligence Sustainable development, promote enterprises to achieve high-quality development.
Over the years, Wuxi Yimian has accelerated the pace of transformation from digital to intelligent, taking the integration of industrialization and industrialization to promote energy conservation and emission reduction as an important measure to support the strategic development of the enterprise and its social responsibility, established an energy information management application system, realized the in-depth application of the integration of industrialization and industrialization of energy management, and achieved very significant economic and social benefits. At the same time, through the integration of industrialization and industrialization, Wuxi Yimian has achieved intensive growth, comprehensively improved product quality and grade, continuously decreased the proportion of raw material costs, significantly reduced power consumption, further improved labor productivity, strategically expanded the depth and market of its product line, and enhanced its comprehensive competitiveness.
Active change
Keep pace with the times
The textile industry, as an industry with large energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions, although its carbon emissions are declining year by year, it has not completely got rid of the status quo of high energy consumption and high emissions. Benchmarking the "30 · 60 target", the textile industry still needs to continue to explore the path of carbon emission reduction, speed up green manufacturing and green design, promote industrial recycling, promote high-quality green development of the industry, and integrate green management throughout the life cycle into the textile industry chain system, so as to achieve low-carbon green transformation as soon as possible.

The "dual carbon" strategy is an inevitable choice for China's high-quality development, and also a core traction for promoting technological progress, supply side reform and industrial upgrading. Referring to the exploration experience of low-carbon development, Zhou Yejun said that textile enterprises should seize the opportunity to actively participate in green low-carbon transformation, industrial energy conservation and consumption reduction and resource recycling, vigorously develop green circular economy, increase investment in scientific and technological innovation, lead the high-quality development of the textile industry with the "technology+product" model, actively respond to carbon emission reduction requirements, and adhere to sustainable development, Promote green and low-carbon transformation to boost high-quality development of enterprises.
First, we should position ourselves as a resource efficient enterprise with high expenditure and high end. Wuxi Yimian has positioned itself as a high-end product of high count series, and developed a series of pure cotton, new fiber and multi-component blended high count products, which will bring the limited resources into full play and further implement the concept of resource conserving development. The raw materials consumed by the enterprise every year are 1/5 of that of conventional enterprises of the same size, truly realizing sustainable development.
The second is source power, vigorously develop and apply green raw materials. Adhere to the development path of pure cotton, environmentally friendly renewable differential fiber products, and achieve a major breakthrough in the upgrading and transformation process in the direction of sustainable development through automated production and refined management. Combined with the technical advantages of high count yarn production, we optimized raw materials to develop natural cellulose fiber yarns, and developed and produced green chemical fiber products such as environment-friendly viscose and recycled polyester. The proportion of green environmental protection products has increased significantly, realizing the environmental protection serialization of products, and deepening the concept of sustainable development and environmental protection into every link of market promotion.
The third is the upgrading and transformation of equipment, using energy-saving processes, equipment and special textile parts. Energy saving and consumption reduction are carried out in every detail of the production process. Cooperating with well-known spinning equipment manufacturers in China, we have carried out upgrading and transformation work in the direction of energy-saving motors, efficient drafting, energy-saving high-speed spindles, thick and thin networking, etc. for the main energy consuming processes and equipment, and the energy consumption of the production line after transformation has been greatly reduced.
For enterprises, only by actively responding and seeking change can they keep pace with the times. The implementation of the "double carbon" strategy is both an opportunity and a pressure for the textile industry. Enterprises urgently need to seize development opportunities, accelerate green transformation and upgrading, carry out green development layout with institutional innovation, technological innovation and product innovation, grasp the multi-dimensional market dynamics, meet the diverse needs of consumers through a complete and sustainable solution from strategy, production to external communication, improve brand strength, achieve sustainable development of enterprises, and set up green development goals of enterprises, Improve the green environmental protection value of products, make them traceable and traceable, refine management to every link in the production process, promote the adjustment, optimization and upgrading of industrial structure, improve the green and low-carbon development level of the industry, take positive actions with green and sustainable development as the strategic goal, reduce carbon emissions from product design, production, logistics and transportation, and help carbon neutrality, Realize green management industry chain system in the whole life cycle.
