Textile Enterprises Turn Waste Into Treasure And Move Towards "Green". New Materials Are Emerging With Bright Prospects

　　 Changle District, Fuzhou, Fujian Province, is an important textile town in China. In the face of the development tide of the times, the local government has actively promoted the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries. As soon as the festival starts, many textile enterprises have accelerated the listing of green fiber products. ?

　　 Entering a production workshop of a leading chemical fiber yarn manufacturer in Changle, Fuzhou, the reporter saw that a new nylon yarn production line was in full speed production. The production line does not use petroleum extract raw materials, but sterilizes and breaks old clothes, socks, etc., through more than ten links such as decolorization, melting, and wire drawing, and finally makes white spindles. ?

　　 Liming, the technical director of a chemical fiber production enterprise in Fujian, said, "We have realized the technical implementation of waste clothing fabrics with more than 50% nylon content on the market through the supercritical technology route of independent intellectual property rights Cyclic regeneration 。” ?

　　 According to the person in charge of the enterprise technology department, at present, the production line has passed the certification of recycling standards in the international textile trading industry. After the Spring Festival holiday this year, it is officially put into mass production, and is expected to produce more than 1000 tons annually, which will drive thousands of downstream weaving enterprises and promote more green fiber products to market. ?

　　 Liming said: "At present, there are about ten brands willing to cooperate with us to develop post consumer recycled nylon, which are basically distributed in Germany, Italy, France, Japan and South Korea." ?

　　 In the sample display area of the enterprise, the reporter also saw that this recycled nylon yarn has been used in the production of more than 20 kinds of products, such as outdoor sports goods, windbreaker, underwear, etc. In the near future, the enterprise also plans to further increase production lines and improve production capacity. ?

　　 In addition to the new progress of recycled fiber products, the reporter found that some textile enterprises in Fuzhou Changle are still trying to add new functions to low-carbon and environmentally friendly textile materials this year. Continue to read the report. ?

　　 In the production workshop of a leading cotton textile enterprise in Changle, Fuzhou, the reporter saw that a test production line for a new type of plant fiber materials had been put into production as soon as the construction started after the festival. This new material is jointly developed by the enterprise and China Textile Research Institute. More than 80% of the ingredients are plant extracts, and flame retardant properties are added. Small scale production tests have been completed. It is estimated that the cost will be reduced by more than one third compared with similar imported products. ?

　　 Shi Songwei, chief engineer of a textile company in Fujian, said: "This material is extracted from some natural plants such as bamboo pulp and cotton pulp, and is mainly used to replace some petroleum products, such as polyester and nylon. After this commencement, we have made improvements in process parameters and a series of product equipment accessories, trying to make our equipment adapt to this new green product as soon as possible. " ?

　　 After the commencement, the enterprise also sent the latest produced samples for inspection at the first time to test the flame retardancy. At Fujian Fiber Testing Center, the reporter saw that the traditional plant fiber fabrics were quickly burned through under the open fire, while the new plant fiber fabrics were almost not ignited after being heated by the open fire for 12 seconds. ?

　　 During the visit, the reporter also saw that although this new material will further optimize the ingredients and production process, some downstream enterprises are already designing new products around this new material, including tooling used in petrochemical, railway, power and other industries. ?

　　 Huang Jinfeng, the sales director of a clothing company in Fuzhou, Fujian, said: "Customers' demand for green fiber is growing. This year, nearly 30% of customers said whether they can use green fiber as much as possible to meet the demand of anti-static and flame retardant multi-function. It is expected that clothing made of this material will be launched in the second half of the year." ?
