How Big Is "Low Carbon" Capability? How Far Is "Low Carbon" From Down Home Textiles?

2010, "World Expo, Shanghai". Low carbon "The economy" has aroused global debate. All walks of life have different levels of thinking and Reform in order to adapt to the new way of life in the new situation.

Especially for the home textile industry, which has always emphasized green environmental protection, "low carbon" will become a more important concern. Some natural materials and zero processing homes have entered the new trend of consumption with the new concept of "low carbon" and "zero carbon".

"Low carbon" can not be avoided in the new situation

"Low carbon economy" is a socioeconomic model characterized by low energy consumption, low emission and low pollution. It provides a win-win option for solving the problem of climate warming, energy security crisis and sustained economic growth.

It is learnt that home textiles as a pillar industry of light industry, home textiles "low carbonization" has attracted attention. On the one hand, conforming to the strategy of sustainable development, building a healthier home, protecting the environment, saving energy and reducing pollution, building an environment-friendly society has become the general requirement of the society. On the other hand, low carbon textiles are popular with consumers because of their more natural and comfortable material and technology. "Buying low carbon" becomes a fashionable and healthy consumption slogan.

Is eco home textile low carbon home textile low carbon? Home textiles What is a low carbon law?

Not long ago, at the opening ceremony of the "low carbon home textile Festival" held in Binjiang in 2010, the manufacturers exhibited all kinds of home textile products that conformed to the concept of low carbon and environmental protection. On the material, low carbon home textile products chose natural low carbon dyes and textile fabrics, which is more environmentally friendly than synthetic materials.

"Low carbon" brand has become a "meat and cake", and everyone wants to "taste fresh". Many businesses have produced raw materials made of bamboo or wood made of pulp fiber, bamboo fiber, carbon fiber and other flags. This is called "low carbon home textiles". In a broader sense, "low carbon" does not lie in the low carbon content, and not only in the low carbon content of raw materials. "Low carbon" is a summation of environmental awareness. It is a production principle that emphasizes both environment and product economy. That is to say, low carbon can achieve "low carbon economy" from raw materials, production technology innovation, product design, multi-function development and so on.

Low carbon faces the test of EU environmental standards

"EU environmental protection standard" is one of the barriers that the ecological "low-carbon household textile" can enter the EU market, but the European Union recently revised the new standards for the environmental protection label of imported textiles and mattress: it requires textiles to restrict the use of harmful substances in the fibers, reduce the risk of allergy reaction, improve the anti shrinkage water and anti decolorization ability, and put forward more stringent restrictions on the use of mattress materials, the level of toxic residue, especially the air pollution in the mattress. This shows that "low carbon" home textiles not only need "low carbon economy", but also need to integrate with the international environment, and low carbon can go further.

"Low carbon" departure Down How far is home textiles?

As an important member of home textiles, the "low carbon" performance of down home textiles is mainly reflected in the relevant environmental management standards such as "feather and down products credit guarantee logo", ISO14001 certification and "PAS 2060 - carbon neutral commitment". Among them, the "feather product credit guarantee logo" indicates that the raw material quality and processing quality of down products are in line with national and industrial standards. The full name of ISO14001 certification is ISO14001 environmental management system certification, which proves that the organization has reached the international level in environmental management, and can ensure that all kinds of pollutants control in enterprises' processes, products and activities meet relevant requirements. "PAS 2060 - carbon neutral commitment new standard" was established in May 19, 2010 by the British Standards Association and officially released in the UK. PAS 2060, based on the existing environmental standards of ISO 14000 series and PAS 2050, puts forward the regulations to achieve and implement carbon neutral organizations through quantification, reduction and compensation of greenhouse gas emissions. {page_break}

Eral, Wenhua feather and other well-known feather and down home textile enterprises have made unremitting efforts in this respect. Take Wenhua down as an example, in the early years, it won the "feather and down product credit guarantee mark" and became the "exemption product". In 2002, after passing the "ISO9001:2000 certification" in 2002, it passed the "ISO14001:1996 certification" in 2005, and became an "environmentally friendly" "low carbon" tireless pursuer in the down products industry. As a down product enterprise with an export rate of up to 70%, Wenhua down will take the "EU environmental standards" and "PAS 2060" as a higher requirement. Through technological innovation and raw materials and design improvements, feather down products, including down textile and down garments, will be integrated with international "low carbon" at an early date.
