Hongtian Group: Light Up The Sustainable Future With Green Development As The Engine

In the post epidemic era when global green and sustainable development has become a consensus, Chinese textile and garment enterprises With the new trend guided by the national dual carbon goals, the whole link is accelerating the process of sustainable development. Hongtian Group, committed to building a digital and intelligent benchmark, has become a leader in intelligent garment manufacturing in China, and is becoming a leader in promoting intelligent and sustainable development of the textile and garment industry.

Journalists from Hongtian Group It is learned that its latest 398.52KWp distributed photovoltaic project can reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 478.56 tons annually, and it is estimated that the carbon emissions of the Group will decrease by 10% year-on-year in 2023.

　 Build a digital and intelligent benchmarking factory based on green development

Since its establishment in 2011, Hongtian Group has developed into an ODM supply chain group company integrating multiple links such as garment design and research, 3D virtual sample garment production, raw material procurement, trade merchandising, post production integration, and sales. It mainly engages in various kinds of adult clothing for men and women, such as winter clothing, down jackets, outdoor functional clothing, etc Children's clothing The products are exported to the European Union, the United Kingdom, mainland China, Japan, South Korea and other markets.

At present, Hongtian Group has 16 wholly-owned subsidiaries and 7 large-scale modern chemical plants, with an annual production capacity of 10 million pieces of clothing, an annual sales volume of 1.6 billion yuan, and an export volume of 400 million yuan, ranking top in the clothing industry of Shandong Province. In June 2020, Hongtian Group was rated by Shandong Provincial Department of Industry and Information Technology as a key brand cultivation enterprise in Shandong textile and clothing industry. In July 2022, the Group was listed as a high-end brand cultivation enterprise in Shandong Province.

In terms of manufacturing, Hongtian Group strictly follows the principle of green manufacturing. In the process of industrial upgrading from 1.0 to 4.0, it vigorously promotes the construction of automated, intelligent and integrated systems, optimizes production processes, improves energy utilization efficiency, reduces waste emissions, and realizes the greening of production processes. It is understood that Hongtian Group has an intelligent and standardized management model. It has a world leading research center and a British design team in the UK. Hongtian Group is also the first enterprise in China to introduce and use 3D virtual garment modeling software. Its clothing supply chain ERP system/MES system construction has realized paperless office work and reduced the workflow of proofing, logistics and other links, This greatly reduces carbon emissions. In addition, its printing and embroidery center has also set up sewage treatment equipment, and completed environmental protection acceptance through the annual digital printing and processing of 3 million pieces of garment cutting and garment projects.

In terms of supply chain cooperation, Hongtian Group always adheres to the principles of green procurement, green logistics, green recycling, etc., purchases a large number of recycled surface materials and packaging materials, has GRS certification, renewable energy certificate (I-REC), and pays close attention to the sustainable development goals of supply chain partners. Pay particular attention to cotton sustainability and polyester fiber sources. For example, among the global partners of Hongtian Group, some enterprises promise that their cotton sources will be 100% sustainable by 2025, some plan that by 2025, 45% of their polyester fibers will come from recycling, and in the future, 100% will come from recycling, and others plan that by 2030, their cotton sources will be 99% sustainable, and at least 37% of their polyester fibers will come from recycling. These goals demonstrate the joint commitment of Hongtian Group and its partners to use sustainable cotton and recycled polyester fiber to reduce the impact on the environment.

In terms of recycling, Hongtian Group also recycles waste surface materials, templates, cartons, etc. in the production process to reduce the impact of packaging waste on the environment.

In addition to protecting the environment, Hongtian Group's sense of social responsibility is also reflected in educational care, health care, love donations, employee well-being and community development. According to Euromonitor data, this generation of young people pay more attention to the sustainability of clothing production than any other generation. They prefer to use clothes made of natural materials, and also prefer enterprises that focus on sustainable development.

　 Light up the development engine with dual carbon economy

Make progress day by day and climb the peak bravely. Recently, Hongtian Group has taken an important step on the road of sustainable development. Hongruixuan Clothing 398.52KWp distributed photovoltaic new project was successfully completed. According to the person in charge of the group, the project is located in Wenshang Hongruixuan, Guocang Town, Wenshang County. It uses 612 single crystal silicon 550W modules, with a total capacity of 336.600MW, and is equipped with three Huawei 110kW inverters and one 100KW inverter. It is grid connected with 380V voltage level, divided into two grid connected units.

Solar photovoltaic power generation is a clean and renewable energy. Compared with thermal power, it can save a lot of coal or oil and gas resources, reduce carbon emissions in the production process, and is conducive to environmental protection. According to the carbon trading income calculation of the National Bureau of Statistics, the annual power generation of this new 0.398MW photovoltaic power station is 480000 kilowatt hours, which can reduce 478.56 tons of carbon dioxide emissions every year. In addition, it can save 157.44 tons of standard coal, 130.56 tons of carbon dust emissions, 14.4 tons of sulfur dioxide emissions and 7.2 tons of nitrogen oxide emissions every year. According to the price trend of China Carbon Trading Network in recent years, the 0.398MW photovoltaic power station can bring about 60000 yuan of additional income to Hongtian Group every year at a transaction price of 50 yuan, and will earn about 6 million yuan in 25 years. In addition, Hongtian Group's carbon emissions will be reduced by 10% in 2023.

However, in order to achieve sustainable development and achieve the goal of carbon peak in 2030 and carbon neutrality in 2060, enterprises need long-term and sustained persistence and efforts. In the future, in order to further expand production capacity and accelerate sustainable development, in terms of production capacity, in 2024, in addition to establishing three cooperative factories in Vietnam, Hongtian Group is also preparing to build wholly owned factories in other Southeast Asian countries. By 2025, Hongtian Group will have 3600 employees. In terms of sustainable development, some plants of Hongtian Group will achieve 100% green energy in 2023. It is expected that by 2024, the number of 100% green energy plants of Hongtian Group will increase to 3. In 2024, Wenshang Hongruixuan, Wenshang Hongtian and Juye Hongtian will also use 100% solar photovoltaic energy.

along with Hongtian Group Actively participate in the process of global economic integration and establish a sustainable strategic partnership with internationally renowned enterprises. As Hongtian Group continues to increase investment in dual carbon economy, improve product quality and added value, and create greater value for customers, we believe that Hongtian Group is getting closer and closer to becoming a digital and intelligent benchmarking enterprise and a leader in intelligent garment manufacturing in China.
