Four Attitudes Towards Clothing "Low Carbon" Concept

Low carbon is a way of life advocated by environmentalists. Nowadays, clothing is also paying attention to "low carbon".

Low carbon clothing is a broad concept of clothing environmental protection. It refers to the way that we can lower the total amount of carbon emitted by all of us in the consumption of all garments. It includes choosing clothing with low total carbon emissions, choosing garments made of recycled materials, and increasing the utilization rate of clothing and reducing the total consumption of clothing.

Low carbon clothing originated from a seminar.

In September 20, 2009, at the time of world earth day, a seminar on "low carbon clothing" jointly organized by environmental protection agency, Jean Goodall (Beijing) environmental culture exchange center, Li Ning Co and Dixie group, creatively put forward the concept of "clothing ring", and took the lead in advocating the new concept of environmental protection for clothing, calling for more people to pay attention to the issue of carbon emissions from clothing.

It can be said that this is a concept put forward by a clothing giant company, and then from the technology release of these two companies, we can see the power of high-end companies to sell ideas.

   　　 此举，在服装界引起了重要反响，给服装企业带来新的思考。

A clothing from the production of raw materials to production, pportation, use and disposal after disposal, are emitting carbon dioxide and have a certain impact on the environment.

As a result, clothing enterprises in the production process need to do a variety of emission reduction work, for clothing low carbon treatment good source.

Many garment enterprises have been innovating in the field of reproduction.

First of all, look at the efforts of low carbon clothing advocates: technological innovation.

The Li Ning Co uses ECOCIRCLE technology to produce chemical regenerated fibers and designs tennis and training clothing. Its recycling plan results are obvious.

The technology was developed by Japanese Imperial group.

The fibers produced by this unique technology have a complete recycling system.

Its regeneration process can be described in this way: recycled clothing - comminution - granulation - polyester material - polyester chip - recycled fiber - clothing.

This technology can reduce about 84% of energy consumption and reduce about 77% of carbon dioxide emissions.

Similarly, Nike has invested tens of millions of dollars in responding to low-carbon products of environmental protection, improving the production of SF6 free air cushion technology.

Big clothing is technically superior.

Secondly, garment enterprises should upgrade their raw materials.

Some clothing enterprises began to adopt low carbon fabrics, and new environment-friendly fabrics such as bamboo fiber, soybean fiber and milk fiber fabrics have been widely used in clothing.

According to the introduction, in addition to responding to the call of the state, these low carbon fabrics also have their advantages.

Spring and summer clothing especially emphasize fabric's comfort and feel, and bamboo fiber, soybean fiber and milk fiber fabric can meet this requirement.

Faced with the concept of low carbon economy and the growing consumption of clothing, China's clothing capital Guangdong Humen town clothing industry is playing the "low carbon" brand.

Third, advocate recycling clothes.

From March 5th to 26, Levis launched a 200 yuan reduction campaign.

The event is not limited to brand, color and quantity. Any old jeans should be purchased from Levis special store to buy the designated levis jeans to be reduced by 200 yuan. All the old jeans will be donated to charity.

Many enterprises also carry out the old change of the new activities, recycling their own brand of clothing products, so that consumers in the hands of the lost value of clothing can be recycled and reused.

This part of enterprises in the last stage of the apparel industry chain efforts to practice the concept of low carbon.

Fourth, fake low carbon, just play the idea.

Some clothing companies are just playing the idea of low carbon without actual action, whether R & D, raw material procurement and production control remain at the previous level.

Many people in charge of garment factories say: low carbon is a concept. Since the idea is what big companies are doing, small businesses can only be flags.

In the aspect of clothing sales, when facing customers, many shop assistants are advocating that their clothing materials are environmentally-friendly and do some false propaganda.

These means require consumers to identify and guard themselves.

Experts say that these 10 years from 2010 to 2020 are the new "golden ten years" development period of China's clothing industry, and China's carbon emissions will gradually decrease. Low carbon clothing will become a hot topic of attention in China's clothing industry.

In the future, clothing enterprises will no longer compare who sells the most and who sells the most expensive products, but depends on whose materials and processes are less harmful to the environment, and who has less clothing carbon emissions, so as to win the favor of consumers and gain more market share.
