Introduction to sustainable future materials project

Materials are the forerunner of industrial revolution and industrial development, the foundation of high-tech development, and also play an important role in reducing the environmental impact of human activities. According to the LCA study on the full life cycle assessment of textiles by the Social Responsibility Office of China Textile Federation, the proportion of carbon emissions of textiles at the material end can reach 30-50%. At the same time, in the study of Circular Fashion: China's New Textile Economy Outlook with Alan MacArthur Foundation, it was found that the recyclability of textile materials has become a crucial factor in the circular transformation of the fashion industry.

In view of this, the Social Responsibility Office of the China Textile Industry Federation will launch the first 20 month open source project of "sustainable future materials" in 2021, aiming at the long-term goals of sustainable development of the textile and clothing industry in the medium term of 2030 and 2050, and cooperate with market leaders in global textile material research and development Lenzing Group and Eastman Group As“ Sustainable Future Materials ”Contributors to the strategic value of the project, WGSN and School of Material Design and Engineering, Beijing Institute of Fashion Technology It has also become the chief knowledge partner to explore with industry chain partners the unified connotation and evaluation system of sustainable future materials, as well as the industrial goals and roadmap of sustainable future materials development, promote the sustainable exploration, dialogue and application of future materials in China's textile industry, and stimulate the sustainable leadership of the industry in the future.
