Textile recycling industry started encounter difficulties

With batteries , plastic bags after use , like environmental pollution greatly used clothing , used clothes collection however current domestic industry is limping . Beijing Daily reporter learned that, a few days ago , although there are clothes store clothing brands to test the water recycling efforts , but overall speaking , clothing enterprises to participate in the enthusiasm is not high , and those who have already started work in recycling business, but suffer from gray industrial chain impact , reason , trade policy is unclear, high input costs , low public awareness of many problems to be solved seriously restricting the recycling industry .

Western textile recycling industry rainbow night

With brands such as H & M clothes in the country to promote recycling activities around the textile recycling explore the increasingly fierce . However, compared with some western countries , China ‘s textile recycling industry lags behind .

Shanghai Yuan Industrial Co., Ltd. , chairman of Yang Ying Hung told Beijing Chinese Commercial News reporters Zhuan Fangshi and Jie Shaoshuo , at present, in the United States, Europe and other places, from policy to its textile recycling and other aspects of the operation of enterprises have formed a more mature model. In China , even the first to open in Shanghai clothes recycling program , but now they have not been integrated .

Specifically, in a foreign country to France, for example , the Ministry of Ecology and Sustainable Development issued in 2007 on textiles and clothing, footwear and household linen draft product recovery and processing , the country also has a special organization for the financing of the waste clothing recycling technology innovation , market development . In addition, in the UK, it is recycled through a variety of channels, including charities take home recycling , establishing textile recycling, the charity set up points as well as downtown street bins . Can sell old clothes left in the store , and the rest to the professional bodies classification resale .

In China, due to legal gaps and a variety of taboos, the green industry unbearable hardship . As the China Textile Industry Association Deputy Secretary-General Sun Huaibin said: “At present, our recycling system is fragmented, only part of the district , recycling companies and a few other places during the recovery , the coverage is limited .” China Association of Resources Comprehensive Utilization statistics show that , at present, China’s textile recycling rate is less than 1%. In developed countries, the textile material recycling rate has reached 16%.

Domestic textile recycling industry is imminent

In the current situation, petroleum reduction , overpopulation, shortage of raw materials, particularly prominent , more noteworthy is that improper handling of waste clothes , cause greater harm to the environment . It is reported that the traditional method of recycling of waste textiles mainly incineration and landfill , but polyester, acrylic and polypropylene fibers , represented by the decomposition process is very slow , buried in the soil would endanger the growth of plants , if incinerated , which may be released toxic substances. So, to speed up the development of the regular army has become a priority .

Recently, with the promotion of domestic environmental protection concepts , some clothing companies personally, opened the recycling efforts . However , last week , Beijing Chinese Commercial News reporters Cai Fangle and Mei Tesi ? Bonwe and many other apparel brands and found that they “do you have textile recycling program ,” the answer given is ” not yet .” Insiders analyzed that ” money is slow, high cost ” is the prohibitive important reasons.

In the industry view , the current problems facing the recycling industry is mainly unknown direction : policies, standards , norms , such as multiple blank severely reduced the enthusiasm of enterprises . ” Harmless disposal of waste textiles so far still in the exploratory workshop phase , recycling logistics costs, classified using the high labor costs , and the product is very long payback period , resulting in a lack of investment focus .” Yang Ying Hung expressed . It is worth noting that the street hawkers recycling old clothes , and then through the stall sales , so the circulation mode buried serious security risks , especially if flows abroad , may also cause diplomatic disputes .

Garment industry diversification new choice

In fact, the face of enormous pressure on the environment and resources , the Government has also actively promote the textile recycling industry. Recently, the State Development and Reform Commission Xie Zhenhua , deputy director , said the NDRC will work with relevant departments , industry associations , from the regulations, systems , policies, technologies , standards and other aspects of developing a government guidance and market operation , and sustainable waste textile recycling mechanism .

As the most important part of the industry chain , the company’s correct understanding are equally important. It is understood , textile recycling terminal processing not imagine that only a “re- made ​​clothes .” Donghua University, Associate Professor Wang said that by cutting and tearing and other mechanical processing , you can put the final knitted and woven fabrics made ​​with sound-absorbing , sound insulation, heat insulation, thermal features such as non-woven materials , used as filler , automotive sound-absorbing materials and carpets. In addition , you can also be made by chemical treatment of new fibers.

Also worth mentioning is that as technology improves , recycling textiles was a ” cost-effective business .” Yang Ying hung to reporters just such an account , raw wool prices 50,000 yuan per ton , recycling of raw wool prices by Category opener 20,000 yuan per ton , the old material prices 60% cheaper than new material .

Insiders estimate , waste textiles future applications will be more widely . “Because of textile waste recycling costs are lower, from a long-term perspective, the industry ‘s profit is very impressive .” And this is still in the cooling off period for the enterprise have added a new diversification strategy choices.
