The goal of achieving carbon peak and carbon neutrality has become a sustainable development goal for China and even the world. Accelerating the promotion of green and low-carbon development and continuously improving the quality of the ecological environment has become the future focus of the domestic textile and clothing industry.
Sustainable fashion is a new concept in the textile and clothing industry in recent years, which means integrating green environmental protection and carbon reduction concepts into the manufacturing and production of textile and clothing, which is of great significance for the current and future development of the industry.
Many well-known textile and clothing brands are taking action to explore sustainable fashion directions that are greener and more environmentally friendly.
In June 2021, Tebu launched a new environmentally friendly product called "polylactic acid T-shirt". Polylactic acid is mainly fermented and extracted from crops containing starch such as corn and straw. After spinning and forming, it becomes polylactic acid fiber, which is ultimately made into naturally degradable clothes. Meanwhile, Tebu stated that it is expected to have a single season market launch of over one million polylactic acid products by 2023.
The production process of textile and clothing products is too long, and there are carbon emissions in all aspects. It is necessary to develop a series of carbon emission accounting standards and methods. Cotton, as the main raw material in the textile and clothing industry, has different carbon emissions in each production cycle.
With the deepening of the "dual carbon" concept, the future development of the textile and clothing industry is still full of opportunities. In the future, it is possible to seize new opportunities and opportunities and become an international fashion brand going global.
