TBIS2011 international conference, academician of Chinese academy of engineering YaoMu puts forward, recycling and regeneration is the world textile textile industry development in the future of the direction of the breakthrough in the can.

Regeneration textiles, this has been the topic of concern and was left out in the cold, very is intriguing. Green energy saving, environmental protection,?????? These labels from name can feel the regeneration of the connotation of textiles. From materials recovery begins, the earliest forms of renewable textiles present is the recycling cotton, polyester fiber recycling, the technological progress and brings kinds of regenerated cellulose fiber. A low carbon economy requirements "from cradle to grave" have carbon identification, as in the production and distribution of resources constraint and energy consumption, renewable textiles is to achieve the "from cradle to cradle of real recycling, is the low carbon ultimate regression.

How textile regeneration? Usually in the production or production will be used again after the waste recycling of the production of the textiles after defined as renewable textiles, more incisively and vividly expression is various fiber textile recycling will, then processed into new textiles. If the market of fashion regenerated cellulose fiber textiles, is typical of the regeneration of textiles. For another example in some on beautiful field in the "coke bottles of clothing," "woven bag bag" is the renovation of the regeneration of textiles. The more straightforward explanation is: a clothes wear out, back to the factory, after a series of process, into a dress.

In some developed countries, it has done very well. Textile recycling and regeneration in Britain, the United States, France, Italy and other developed countries have is very normal things. China is also in about 10 years ago began to call for the recycling and reuse in textiles, but failed to implement them. Because the cost is too high--first of all to put the old clothes back on the strict disinfection, cleaning, decomposition, and then after a process, processed into textiles. This process to recycle textile production new products than to increase a lot of cost, must take the higher price sell enterprise to survive and profit. But after recycle fiber performance than certainly used for the first time reduced. Spend more money to buy the things worse performance, "price" is not high.

The congress of the United States and the European parliament enacted laws, regulations, textiles hang "renewable" as long as the logo, price can than usual textile products increased by 10%. When beginning, people, but also an unappreciative after 22 years of propaganda and promotion, in order to protect the environment and save the earth, and now consumers are identified with the regeneration textiles, a lot of people see "renewable" tag clothes are willing to pay to buy.

The European Union in 2008 also revised the Waste Framework Directive "(Waste Framework Directive) plans to let the public and the enterprise can actively promote more of the resources of the environmental regeneration. At present, the use of material recovery in Europe is the favour of the textile and apparel industry, many world famous brand and international big buyers already began to develop the or a large number of purchasing related, such as the United States renewable textile fiber yarn manufacturers and environmental regeneration Jimtex Yarns, Japanese emperor people, British clothing retailers fiber company Marsha department and the U.S. retailers such as wal-mart department store. Don't know when the recovery and regeneration, textiles in China will also become a common thing?

voice

China is called for the use of textiles, propaganda in recent 10 years, but popularity and there is a gap between the European and American countries.

YaoMu introduces, at present, the domestic only China's people's liberation army uniforms are massive recovery and regeneration. There are a little episode: every year 400000 PLA officer and demobilized soldiers, now retired from the army uniform rules no longer can take away. Once a veterans to Africa, the work is dressed in aircraft, uniform, the local government thought to be a military uprising, nearly creates conflict mediation was solved only after foreign ministry. Therefore, the general logistics department of the PLA ban retired and transferred from the army uniform, and each year, take will pay the cost of $6 billion.

As textile export power, China's textile production and export enterprise in order to promote the textile exports, conform to the international green trade trend, are stepping up their research and development, the production regeneration textiles. But, as SGS textile technology expert dr JiangGong puts it, because the technology and cost reasons, some renewable resources in the process of production has caused a lot of energy waste and environmental pollution. Then make renewable textile just put on "green" jacket, and did not fully realized a real sense of environmental protection. For instance in some areas of textile processing produces in the process of waste water containing organic chlorine fade (), not faded, invalid of woven Angle, were burned, these backward regeneration product processing process they cause more large amount of water resource waste, more degree of environmental damage.

Such "green" not desirable, though, accomplish truly textile recycling and regeneration to pay high cost, but for environmental protection plan, it will still be the future development way. Only by enterprise or industry strength hard, we hope that the society bearing can create a truly green textile consumption environment.
