Textile Industry Goes To The Sky: Sustainable Fashion Is Very Close To Us.

Most consumers may be right.

The cognition is confined to clothes only.

However, at the recent China International Clothing and Accessories Fair (CHIC autumn exhibition) held recently by the Shanghai National Convention and Exhibition Center, a black giant has attracted countless people's eyeballs in the circular booth of the exhibition center.

The BJ80 defender off-road vehicle, which is jointly built by Beiqi group and the world's top off-road vehicles, is actually made of textile new fiber material carbon fiber.

It's not just cars. Textile is the industry that goes to heaven.

At the CHIC autumn exhibition, the China Federation of textile industry social responsibility office, in cooperation with the China clothing association, launched the "Sustainability Zone" for the first time, opening the prelude to the "2017 China sustainable fashion week".

Textile industry "go to heaven"

Responsible for guiding the public to produce and consume responsibly and responsibly.

Not only are cars, but other products in the exhibition area are closely related to textiles, covering all fields of clothing, food and housing.

For example, discarded Coca-Cola bottles and coffee grounds are used as raw materials for clothing, bleached with pure natural juice, and fruit dye technology that dyes can directly drink.

"Textile is the industry that goes to the sky". From fashion to high speed rail cars to Shenzhou spacecraft shell, rocket battery panels, and artificial organs, the wide application of high-tech textiles is closely related to the development level and quality of life of the country, industry, field and everyone.

The proportion of China's industrial fiber textile processing increased from 12.78% in 2000 to 25.3% in 2015, which accounts for more than 1/3 of the world's total output, and exports account for more than 1/4 of the world's total.

Sun Ruizhe, President of China Textile Industry Federation, said.

"Nowadays, fashion has developed into a huge and complex industry, not limited to one area, but also reflected in all aspects of people's lives.

While leading the social trend, we need to work together to promote sustainable fashion.

Hu Kehua, deputy director of the office of social responsibility of China Textile Industry Federation, expressed the original intention of the event when interviewed by an exclusive journalist.

"Talking about sustainable development and social responsibility, as ordinary people will have a certain sense of distance.

But daily necessities and daily necessities must be felt, so through such activities and ways, we can make the public more intuitive to understand and let more people know what sustainable and responsible production and consumption are.

He said.

In Fashion Week activities, China

The Federation social responsibility office has also jointly launched the old clothes recycling activities jointly with Jingdong public welfare and fast drying clothing brand C&A, which has been actively responded by the scene and even the whole society.

In the WeChat circle of friends, friends from different industries shared this public service action.

Responsible enterprises can win more respect.

Enterprises are innovative forces to solve social problems such as environmental pollution.

At the beginning of the reform and opening up, China began to undertake the pfer of the world textile industry. The times have also questioned how China will develop the textile industry economy.

Time has fully proved that sustainable development is China's determination and plan to build the textile industry.

Sun Ruizhe said that after decades of development, technology, fashion and green have become the new logo of China's textile industry.

Tong Jisheng, chairman of Orient International (Group) Limited, understands social responsibility so macroscopically, the business operation of a company should be compatible with the harmony between man and nature, and it is the common development of man and society. In the middle view, the business operation of enterprises should be beneficial to the state and the place, and conducive to sustainable development; on the micro level, the behavior of enterprises should be conducive to the all-round development of enterprises and themselves.

"At present there is a pessimistic trend of thought that enterprises as a profit making organization is the root cause of environmental pollution and the gap between the rich and the poor. This pessimism leads people to question the practice of corporate social responsibility.

On the contrary, enterprises are the innovative force to solve these problems and challenges.

Sun Ruizhe, for example, many people think that printing and dyeing is a polluting industry. But during the "12th Five-Year" period, the printing and dyeing enterprises made great progress in green development. From 2011 to 2016, the amount of fresh water taken from 100 meter dyed dyeing cloth dropped from 2.5 tons to less than 1.8 tons, and the water reuse rate increased from 15% to more than 30%, and the economic efficiency increased steadily. The total profit increased from 15 billion 228 million yuan in 2011 to 20 billion 979 million yuan in 2016, with an average annual growth of 5.5%, which ensured the stability of the industrial chain.

"This shows that enterprises can become social contributors through sustainable innovation and pformation and upgrading."

Sun Ruizhe said that in the past, enterprises had always asked for the environment. Now the relationship between them has undergone a qualitative change. Enterprises are protecting the environment and nurturing the environment.

Enterprises are promoting environmental improvement through technology and services to win social respect.

Textile leads sustainable development in industry

Helping other consumer industries fulfill producer's extended responsibilities

It is reported that in 2005, the China Federation of textile industry established the office of social responsibility. This is the first permanent department in China to promote sustainable development of industry, and has established the first social responsibility management system CSC9000T in China.

Up to now, guided by CSC9000T, it has served 13 industrial clusters in the industry with about 1500 enterprises, involving 1 million industrial workers.

Sun Ruizhe said that in order to pfer the value of sustainable development to the upstream and downstream of the global supply chain, in 2012, China Textile Federation and BSCI, SA8000 and WRAP launched the multi system dialogue and coordination platform, "China Advisory Committee on social responsibility system cooperation" (MAC). At present, there are 8 standard systems to carry out dialogues under this mechanism to solve the problem of trade inefficiency caused by "value barrier".

At the same time, they have maintained strategic partnership with ZDHC foundation and 23 international brands in chemical management, and developed CiE system for chemicals online management platform. At present, it has collected more than 10000 chemical information and served more than 200 enterprises.

At the scene of sustainable fashion week, China Textile Alliance has another "carbon management innovation 2020 action carbon emission measurement" release. In the next 3 years, the water management innovation action plan and recycling management innovation action plan will be issued successively, and the industry environment and ecological data system will be formed to provide a collaborative platform for the global supply chain upstream and downstream.

Yan Yan, deputy director of the China Textile Industry Federation's social responsibility office and deputy director of China Textile Information Center, said that the action is aimed at completing the green development goal of the textile industry in 13th Five-Year, promoting the textile industry's energy conservation and emission reduction, developing low carbon, green, circular economy, and promoting the pformation and upgrading of the industry. By 2020, the energy consumption of the industrial added value of the textile industry will be reduced by 18%.

Wang Shi, who recently resigned as chairman of Vanke at the scene, has many identities, but it is basically related to environmental public welfare: Chairman of the Vanke public welfare foundation, CTEAM (China Entrepreneur's Alliance for global climate change) and WWF World Natural Foundation Committee (China) president.

He describes the social responsibilities of entrepreneurs in three colors: red, green and blue.

Red represents Chinese traditional culture and revolutionary spirit; green represents environmental protection, and blue represents internationalism.

"Vanke's green development is an example.

In today's view, green building is a logical thing, but at that time it was also difficult to push forward, high cost, the government did not support, employees do not understand, but now green building has become the core competitiveness of Vanke.

Wang Shi said that these three colors require enterprises to have a persistent spirit of the foolish old man to strive for the pioneer of environmental protection, and lead more people to participate in it, and form an alliance to restrict the fate of all mankind on earth.

"China

Not only the production of textile and clothing, but also many new materials, such as notebook computers, helicopters, automobile industry, and so on, have subverted the image of traditional manufacturing industry. It should be said that innovation and green represent the future enterprises and demonstrate the social responsibility and green competitiveness of Chinese enterprises.

Wang Shi said that textile technology is helping other consumer industries to fulfill their responsibilities of producers' extended responsibilities and jointly realize the responsible production and consumption goals of sustainable development of the United Nations.
