The textile and apparel industry has become the world's second most polluting industry, second only to the petroleum industry. The textile industry should renew the relationship between mankind and nature with sustainable development.
Wastewater, waste gas, solid waste, and noise produced by the textile industry are the main sources of environmental pollution. Among them, the most serious environmental problem in the textile industry is water pollution. The textile industry is one of the industrial sectors with a large amount of water and drainage. Textile wastewater is discharged into the river, and as the river eventually flows to the sea, it destroys the marine environment and also causes serious health problems.
IUCN once pointed out in the report "Primary Plastic Particles in the Ocean", plastic particles (ie microplastics) are actually a larger source of marine plastic pollution than plastic waste. The particles decomposed from textiles are the main component of the "plastic soup" that fills the ocean, accounting for one-third of all plastic that pollutes the ocean. Microplastics can seriously harm marine life. Once they enter the global food chain and water supply chain, they will bring harm to human health.
"Environmentally friendly" has become a new theme in the development of the global textile industry. With "green environmental protection" as the core, functional and intelligent textiles that take into account fashion, technology, popularity, and high value-added are becoming more and more popular in the market. The global textile industry is developing in an environmentally friendly direction.
Under the epidemic situation, China's textile and apparel industry has shown a new development trend of digitalization, high-speed, and environmental protection. At the same time, in order to meet the new needs of consumers, the research and development of green and environmentally friendly products by textile and garment enterprises has also become a new trend. Sustainable materials are more attractive to consumers.
Since 2021, China has also successively introduced and implemented various green environmental protection-related policies and regulations, gradually tightening environmental protection requirements for the textile and apparel industry. On the other hand, the company pays attention to the harmonious coexistence of man and nature, and vigorously promotes the practice of sustainable development, which is also a manifestation of corporate social responsibility. Through sustainable products, environmental protection concepts are implemented into products and conveyed to consumers.
Subtextile actively follows international trends, responds to national policies, and regards sustainable development as the most basic value of the company. All our sublimation printing materials are non-toxic and environmentally friendly, and the sublimation ink has also obtained the OEKO-TEX certificate.
Textile companies implement sustainable development and improve their own "environmental protection capabilities" to meet the ever-increasing environmental protection requirements. Better respond to the challenges of market development and policy changes.
