The good idea of the project lies in "synergy". The high-quality development of the industry needs synergy, laying a solid foundation for the coordinated development of the industry in "technology, fashion and green". In the face of challenges and pressures in the current industry development, we need to find a path in the high-quality development direction of pollution reduction and carbon reduction. The Action Outline for Building a Modern Textile Industrial System (2022-2035) issued by China Textile Federation in August this year also made planning requirements in four aspects: source reduction, process control, end treatment, and recycling, which is highly consistent with the main work in the scientific and technological field advocated by the Chinese Academy of Engineering. He pointed out that the industry's pollution reduction and carbon reduction still faced weak links in terms of weak research foundation, lack of common technologies, and imperfect coordination mechanism. Therefore, he put forward four suggestions: first, focus on key areas and strengthen source prevention and control; Second, adhere to the concept of system and optimize environmental governance; The third is to encourage the initiative and carry out collaborative innovation; Fourth, strengthen guidance and tell good industry stories.

Cao Xuejun, the first level inspector of the Consumer Goods Industry Department of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of the People's Republic of China, pointed out in his speech that it is of great significance for the Chinese Academy of Engineering to carry out the research on the implementation path of pollution reduction, carbon reduction and synergy and efficiency enhancement around the textile industry, which is an important work to implement the new development concept, based on the new development situation, and achieve high-quality development of the industry. Although the textile industry has made many achievements in energy conservation and emission reduction in recent years, there is still much room for progress. Pollution and carbon reduction has a higher level of requirements than energy conservation and emission reduction. It is hoped that the project team can adhere to the system concept in the next work to enhance synergy effectiveness; Be able to stand on the strategic position of the project and highlight the advancement and leadership of the project; Be able to conduct in-depth and systematic research and analysis to increase the sustainability of the project path.

Wang Xiaowen, Director of the Environment and Light Textile Engineering Department of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, said in his speech that the textile industry is an important livelihood industry, a national pillar industry, and also a very beautiful industry. Pollution reduction and carbon reduction are two concepts. One is pollutant reduction, and the other is greenhouse gas reduction. Both are rooted in the same source, so they must work together to increase efficiency. The synergy of pollution reduction and carbon reduction is related to all aspects of China's ecological civilization construction, and is a strategic plan to achieve Chinese style modernization. The textile industry has the characteristics of long industrial chain, large energy consumption and emissions. It is an inevitable choice for the textile industry to take a green development path. The launch of the project is of great significance.
