How to live well under the coexistence of environmental protection pressure and green development op

It's more or less like a realm of “ ice and fire ” and uuuuuuuuuuu



On the one hand, some relevant government departments, downstream weavers, brand retailers and the public still have many misunderstandings about the recycling and reusing chemical fibers industry, such as, they often question whether recycling and reusing chemical fibers produced by enterprises are safe because the raw materials come from recycled polyester bottles and waste textiles. Are you relieved to wear such textiles? Moreover, more and more stringent environmental requirements, but also a lot of attention to the industry.



On the other hand, developing circular economy and practicing green development have become the demands of the whole society. The chemical fiber industry of recycling and reuse has the attributes of “ turning waste into treasure ” and has the distinct characteristics of green, recycling and sustainable development. The state also attaches more and more importance to this industry, which has been listed in the directory of key products and services of strategic emerging industries by the National Development and Reform Commission.



In addition, there are still uncertainties in the change of raw material import policy and Sino-US trade frictions. Under the complicated circumstances, how to deal with the common problems in the development of recycling and reusing chemical fiber industry? How to promote green transformation and upgrading and high-quality development of the industry? What is the significance of actively promoting the construction of circular economy and recycling the chemical fiber industry? What new environmentally friendly and competitive situations does the industry currently face? Where are the breakthroughs in raw material supply and technology and the next breakthroughs?



On Dec. 10, & ldquo; High Quality Development Forum for Recycling and Recycling Chemical Fiber Industry & rdquo; held in Xiaoshan, Hangzhou. More than 100 guests from the National Development and Reform Commission, the Chinese Academy of Engineering, the Chinese Academy of Environmental Sciences, the China Chemical Fiber Industry Association, the China Clothing Association and the China Household Textile Industry Association, as well as from the upstream and downstream of the national recycling chemical fiber industry chain, gathered to discuss the above hot topics.



Green production mode is to resolve the contradiction between development and Protection & ldquo; key & rdquo; < br />.


Yang Chunping, Director of Circular Economy Department of National Development and Reform Commission and Reform Institute, explained the position and role of circular economy development in high-quality development stage. Firstly, he explained the connotation of ecological civilization construction in detail. Ecological civilization is the product of the development of industrial civilization to a certain stage and a new requirement for the harmonious development of man and nature. The emergence of ecological civilization is not a negation of industrial civilization, but a new form of civilization growing up in the body of industrial civilization. It is a sublation of industrial civilization. It is based on the inheritance and promotion of the highly developed productivity level of industrial civilization, to overcome the negative effects of resource exhaustion, ecological destruction and environmental pollution caused by large-scale industrial production, and to form production development. The advanced civilized ecology with rich life, good ecology and harmonious coexistence between man and nature. One of its basic characteristics is that green development has become a universal form.



Yang Chunping further emphasized that the key to building ecological civilization and achieving high-quality development is to promote green development and lifestyle. Circular economy is the concrete realization mode and dependence of green development mode. The implementation of green production mode is the key to resolve the contradiction between development and protection. The basic guarantee for the construction of ecological civilization is to transform the stock of traditional industries into green ones, vigorously develop the optimal increment of green industries, and construct a green cycle and low-carbon industrial system, requiring cleaner production processes, recycling of waste materials and reducing the amount at the source. Environmental protection requires the whole process from end-to-end treatment to source reduction of waste emissions, global resource shortage and so on. It requires efficient and recycling use of resources, the development of circular economy, green economy and low-carbon economy, and the realization of green development, cyclic development and low-carbon development.



Industry & ldquo; turning waste into treasure & rdquo; belonging to & ldquo; Green Industry & rdquo; < br />


He Yanli, Vice President of China Chemical Fiber Industry Association, made a mid-term review and outlook on China's chemical fiber industry at the meeting. She pointed out that in the past 40 years since the reform and opening up, China's chemical fibre industry has developed rapidly, with the capacity of the industry ranging from 1.175 million tons in 1987 to 4,919 tons in 2017.At present, China has become a major producer of chemical fibers in the world.



He Yanli focused on the development of recycling chemical fiber industry in China in terms of industrial scale, technological progress, product research and development, etc. She pointed out that with the rapid development of China's chemical fiber industry, the recycling chemical fiber industry has also undergone tremendous changes. Recycling and reusing chemical fiber industry is a part of the green development of textile industry, and one of the main directions of the comprehensive utilization of waste polyester bottles and textiles. At present, China has become the largest producer of regenerated chemical fibers.



According to incomplete statistics, the actual output of China's recycled chemical fiber industry in 2017 is 6 million tons, accounting for about 80% of the global total output. By adopting new technology, new technology and new equipment, the scale benefit of the chemical fiber recycling industry gradually appears, the achievements of scientific and technological innovation are increasing, and the average energy consumption and water consumption of the industry are obviously decreasing. The regenerated chemical fibre industry gives full play to the advantages of production, learning, research and utilization, brings into play the joint public relations advantages of the industrial alliance, improves the utilization of raw materials, reduces production costs and improves product quality. A series of key processes, technologies and equipment for physical and chemical recovery and reuse have made significant breakthroughs, and many technologies have won the award of China Textile Federation-ldquo. Guang & rdquo; Science and Technology Progress Award, product development has made remarkable progress. Regenerated polyester fibers use raw materials (bottles/flakes) with the inherent advantages of high brightness and viscosity, and adopt single-function differentiated new products such as modification, compounding, blending, copolymerization, abnormity and colour, which greatly expands the application field and market space of the products. Especially, the regenerated chemical fibers dyed with raw liquor have been developed, which can meet the needs of colored fibers and reduce the pollution to the environment at the same time.



At present, the development of regenerated polyester FDY multi-empty, special-shaped and composite products has been in the forefront of the world; the preparation technology and application of dyeable regenerated polyester fibers at room temperature and pressure, the development of low melting point regenerated polyester staple fibers and the successful production of closed industrial chain of polyester waste textiles completely alcoholysis indicate that the development of regenerated polyester products in China has reached a new height.



As we all know, the raw materials for the production of recycled chemical fiber products are mainly divided into several categories, including recycled polyester bottles, waste textiles, as well as the corners and waste silk in the processing process.



Yu Jianyong, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, introduced the innovation and development of recycling technology of waste textiles very systematically at the meeting. Yu Jianyong pointed out that the recovery rate of waste textiles is less than 8% in China's huge textile fiber processing total. The realization of recycling can save land resources, protect the environment, reduce emissions, reduce the consumption of fossil resources such as crude oil. He made a calculation for the industry that recycling a ton of used textiles would reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 3.2 tons. Therefore, the development of recycled fibers to recycle waste textiles is conducive to energy saving and emission reduction, and achieve green development. He also introduced the preparation technology of regenerated polyester fibers, including mechanical method, physical method, physical chemical method and chemical method.



Yu Jianyong said that the international famous sports brands represented by Nike and Adidas began to use recycled fibers in large quantities, which is an opportunity and a challenge for recycled chemical fibers, because enterprises still need to work hard to meet the requirements of high purity and high dyeing for the brand.



The new environmental protection and competition situation is in front of us < br />.


Although the recycling chemical fibre industry can “ turn waste into treasure ”, with green, recycling and sustainable distinct characteristics, in line with the development concept of “ green water green hills is Jinshan Yinshan & rdquo; However, under the increasingly stringent environmental protection policy, the industry is facing new situations of environmental protection, which puts forward more stringent new requirements for the development of the industry.



Li Yanping, Director of the Cleaner Production Department of the Chinese Academy of Environmental Sciences, explained the policies related to cleaner production and environmental protection at the meeting. She pointed out that the recycling chemical fiber industry is facing four new situations: first, ldquo; nineteenth National Congress & rdquo; Development & ldquo; cleaner production industry & rdquo;We should encourage the development of green industries, strengthen energy-saving and environmental protection industries, clean production industries and clean energy industries, so that green industries can become alternative industries and relay on economic growth. Cleaner production industry is an industry that provides technology and equipment support for waste reduction, resource utilization and harmlessness. It mainly includes clean design, clean raw materials, clean production technology, clean products and clean services. The second new situation is the whole process supervision of emission permit implementation; the third new situation is the implementation of non-organized emission measures supervision of emission permit; the fourth new situation is that environmental protection tax has not been & ldquo; equal treatment & rdquo;.



She further pointed out the new challenges facing the recycling chemical fibre industry at present, including: discharge permit & ldquo; certification management & rdquo; discharge unit & ldquo; self-certification & law-abiding & rdquo; total amount and concentration of Environmental Management & ldquo; dual control & rdquo; discharge supervision from & ldldquo; plant area & mdash; production unit & rdquo; strict compliance criteria for discharge units; Enterprise & ldquo & rdqu; account book & rdqu; O; to be public; sewage discharge & ldquo; fee to tax & rdquo; taxation strictness; excessive sewage discharge & ldquo; heavy penalty & rdquo;



In addition to facing the new situation of environmental protection, the industry itself also faces some new challenges.



Yu Jianyong pointed out that the raw material quality of raw chemical fibers is controllable, but the big problem of regenerated chemical fibers is that the quality of raw materials is uncontrollable and the difference is big. How to process high quality regenerated fibers is the key. The key of regenerated chemical fibers is to realize the high quality utilization of resources. The quality standards of products vary greatly according to the application.



He Yanli pointed out that although great achievements have been made in recycling chemical fibers industry, there are still some problems. If the organizational structure is unreasonable, the management is not standardized, the technical level is low, the equipment is backward, and the environmental protection level is low, small enterprises still occupy a certain proportion. The technology of comprehensive utilization of waste textiles is relatively backward. There are not many enterprises that can recycle waste textiles with high value. There are still many gaps in laws, regulations and supporting policies of waste textiles.



Chen Hao, the general manager of Haiyan Haili Environmental Protection Fiber Co., Ltd., who was newly established on December 9, and the branch of recycling and reusing chemical fibers, deeply analyzed the new challenges faced by China's recycled polyester industry.



At the raw material end, the old domestic polyester bottle cleaning process - ldquo; low dirt - rdquo; has not yet been fundamentally rectified, and has the potential to spread and grow. In the face of these formats, normative recycling enterprises are facing relatively high policy costs such as environmental protection, taxation and labor services, and are facing great competition pressure. At the same time, recycled polyester staple fiber enterprises have a large demand for recycled raw materials, and the quality requirements of raw materials are relatively not as high as those of recycled filaments, which is the main force affecting the price trend of recycled raw materials. Recycled polyester filament enterprises have little voice over recycled raw materials. Particularly noteworthy is that since 2018, the state has banned the import of waste plastics. Opening the import of PET net sheets has not been implemented due to the implementation of industry standards. This makes the domestic supply of old polyester bottles and PET bottles tight, and the price rises. Especially in the fourth quarter, the price of recycled polyester bottles is close to or even higher than that of original polyester chips.



Chen Hao further pointed out that from the point of view of the recycled chemical fiber industry itself, there are also some problems to be solved, including: the complex material of old polyester bottles makes it difficult to guarantee the quality of recycled bottles; the contradiction between the great difference in viscosity and color of recycled bottles and the yearly improvement of the quality requirements of recycled polyester filaments is more prominent; the raw materials of recycled polyester are diverse, mixed and direct. Low utilization rate, bottleneck in improving enterprise's independent technology, longer production process, more labor and difficult cost control of recycled polyester fibers, etc.



All-round promotion of high-quality industry development



Talking about the industry's ideas to deal with new challenges, Li Yanping gives some ideas and suggestions.



It's a deep feeling that the environmental protection policy is changing rapidly, and there may be terminal treatment equipment and facilities just put into operation, and the policy will change. In fact, the root of environmental protection lies in prevention, not in the governance of the back end. Enterprises should be at the forefront of policies. If the prevention of the source and the treatment of the process are achieved, the environmental protection pressure at the end will be reduced. ” Li Yanping emphasized.



Chen Hao put forward relevant suggestions from the practical operation level. He pointed out that the construction of domestic recycling system should be strengthened; the productivity and comprehensive utilization rate of raw materials should be increased; the production flexibility and product differentiation should be improved; and the comprehensive implementation of technological upgrading should be beneficial to economic management.



Chen Hao introduced that in the past two years, facing the new competition challenges of chemical fibre giants and the demand of high-end customers for recycled products, the company has carried out flexible transformation of the original large devices to adapt to the new pattern of multi-varieties and small batches of order-based customization production. At the same time, efforts should be made to improve the product differentiation rate, research and development, production of non-uniform cross-section shrinkage, lustrous and non-ferrous, mainly functional, including recycled polyester POY, FDY, DTY product series.



Reporters also learned that Haiyan Haili has taken measures in the face of the shortage of raw materials faced by domestic recycling enterprises since this year. The company has established a PET bottle network covering three provinces and one city in the Yangtze River Delta region, established more than 20 self-operated recycling stations and more than 300 cooperative recycling outlets, and formed an annual recycling capacity of 150,000 tons of polyester bottles. The company extends its industrial chain to the front end by centralized acquisition of waste bottles.It effectively alleviates the pressure of raw materials that enterprises are facing at present. In terms of technology upgrading, Haiyan Haili has adopted automatic whole bottle cleaning and processing bottle flakes production line, established automatic robot packaging workshop, intelligent warehousing and other intelligent factories. At the same time, the company has established & ldquo; academician workstation & rdquo; to carry out strategic cooperation with scientific research institutes of colleges and universities, to introduce management and technical personnel, and to achieve technological upgrading.



From the development level of the industry, Chen Hao also emphasized that the industry should focus on promoting the standardization of recycled polyester industry, especially on rectifying bottle cleaning & ldquo; low dirty & rdquo; disorder, so that the old polyester bottle resources can be reused green; for those enterprises that have the conditions to increase the recycling of polyester bottles, tax recession and reduction should be strengthened; and the packaging polyester bottle enterprise society should be promoted. The implementation of the responsibility extension system makes the reuse of polyester bottles more convenient and effective. He also suggested that professional associations should continue to strengthen guidance and coordination on the production of recycled polyester raw materials and recycled polyester fibers, and speed up the revision of recycled polyester bottle industry standards, so as to bring the import policy of PET net sheets to the ground as soon as possible.



At present, it has become a social consensus to adhere to green development, save resources in an all-round way, increase the comprehensive utilization of renewable resources, and adhere to green, low-carbon and cyclical development. The recycling chemical fiber industry shoulders greater social responsibility. It is our ideal and goal to realize the sustainable and healthy development of the chemical fibre industry by comprehensively implementing the recycling and reuse of resource saving, effectively alleviating environmental pressures and realizing the sustainable and healthy development of the chemical fibre industry. With the acceleration of green development of textile industry and chemical fiber industry in China, the scale of high-quality regenerated chemical fiber industry will be expanding day by day, replacing native polyester more and more. Next, the recycling industry should rationally deal with the shortage of raw materials, improve the competitiveness of the whole industry with the regenerated polyester standard conditions as the starting point, increase the comprehensive utilization of waste textiles, use advanced and applicable new technologies, new processes and new equipment to promote the transformation and upgrading of the industry, and strengthen international cooperation in an all-round way. 'rdquo,'said He Yanli.
