With the favorable and accurate data bank of carbon footprint, the low carbon journey of the product has just begun. For textiles, there is also a set of carbon reduction system.

Some experts pointed out that from the perspective of the life cycle of textiles, the products can be reduced from the following five aspects.

carbon footprint

First of all, develop low-carbon materials, improve various chemical dyes, develop recycled and reused fibers, minimize damage to the environment such as fiber production and dyeing. In the aspect of improvement of production technology, energy efficiency and pollution reduction will be reduced through various processes such as process reversion and simplification, mechanical pformation, heat recovery and textile waste water reuse system. In the manufacturing process, low emission energy and renewable energy sources will be used to change the past way of using coal and steam heating; sea pportation should be carried out instead of air links, and simple packaging will be used instead of complex packaging to avoid waste. Finally, proper reduction of water temperature in the cleaning process can also reduce carbon footprint.

Consumer led "right to know carbon"

The promotion of consumers' recognition of "low carbon consumption" is becoming the driving force for all textile and garment survival providers and brand companies to consider environmental factors except regulations.

According to the latest survey, more than half (54%) of British customers expressly expressed the wish to use products with low carbon mark, compared with 35% last year.

In order to adapt to this change, terminal retailers first threw out the "low carbon" hydrangea.

As the third largest retailer in the world, TESCO will implement a two-year environmental protection plan. It will label the 20 self produced products of the shop in a carbon footprint. Consumers who purchase these products can see at a glance the amount of carbon dioxide emitted from the process from the beginning to the shelf sale.

After entering the TESCO, consumers can view the "carbon footprint" label and adopt green shopping behavior according to their environmental protection concept.

"Our current goal is to attach carbon footprint marks to more than 500 products in the UK."

"The carbon footprint label of TESCO can tell customers the carbon footprint of the product and provide customers with tips on how to reduce emissions in the course of their use and disposal," Zhuang Nan bin, director and vice president of TESCO China, said in an interview.

Even the majority of economists believe that the European and American countries will not really introduce "hard".

Carbon labelling

"Policy to restrict imports of" made in China ", more and more foreign buyers have quietly begun to choose suppliers who can prove that the products are environmentally friendly production standards.

With the spread of the trend of marked price marked by TESCO, the consumers' right to know carbon is likely to become another sword for European and American buyers to ban "high carbon" products.
