As the concept of sustainable development has gained popularity, New Functional Fabric has made many innovations and breakthroughs in environmental protection and sustainable production. These innovations and breakthroughs have not only promoted the green transformation of the textile industry, but also provided consumers with more environmentally friendly, healthy and high-performance textile options.
1. Raw material innovation
Application of recycled materials
New Functional Fabric widely uses recycled materials, such as recycled polyester (RPET) and recycled nylon (Econyl). These materials are made by recycling waste plastic bottles, fishing nets, fabric waste, etc., effectively reducing resource waste and environmental pollution.
For example, Econyl fiber is made by Aquafil, an Italian nylon yarn manufacturer, by recycling discarded fishing nets, fabric waste, etc., maintaining the characteristics of the original polymer and theoretically capable of unlimited recycling.
Optimization of natural fibers
New functional fabrics also focus on the optimal use of natural fibers, such as organic cotton, bamboo fiber, soy protein fiber, etc. These fibers reduce the use of chemical pesticides and fertilizers during planting and processing, and have less impact on the environment.
No chemicals are used in the cultivation of organic cotton, which is natural and pollution-free throughout the process, in line with the concept of sustainable development.
2. Production technology innovation
Environmentally friendly dyeing technology
New Functional Fabric uses environmentally friendly dyes and dyeing technologies, such as waterless dyeing and biological dyeing, in the dyeing process, which reduces water resource consumption and wastewater discharge.
Environmentally friendly dyeing technology not only improves dyeing efficiency, but also reduces pollution to the environment.
Energy-saving production process
In the production process of new functional fabrics, enterprises use energy-saving equipment and technologies, such as energy-saving dryers and energy-saving looms, to reduce energy consumption.
At the same time, enterprises further reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions by optimizing production processes and improving production efficiency.
3. Functional innovation
Degradability
New Functional Fabric pays attention to the degradability of materials during research and development. For example, PrimaLoftBio fabric launched by PrimaLoft is a naturally degradable man-made fiber fabric made entirely of recycled materials.
This fabric has a high degradation rate and little impact on the environment, which meets the requirements of sustainable development.
Recycling
New functional fabrics also focus on recycling, such as making new fabrics by recycling waste textiles. This recycling method not only reduces resource waste, but also reduces environmental pollution.
IV. Market application and promotion
Consumer awareness improvement
As consumers pay more attention to environmental protection and sustainable production, the market demand for new functional fabrics continues to increase. Enterprises have launched environmentally friendly fabric products that meet consumer needs, which has promoted the rapid development of the market.
Policy support and guidance
The government has continuously increased its support for environmental protection and sustainable production, and has issued a series of relevant policies and standards to guide enterprises to strengthen the research and development and production of environmentally friendly fabrics. These policies not only provide a good market environment for enterprises, but also promote the healthy development of the industry.
New Functional Fabric has made many innovations and breakthroughs in environmental protection and sustainable production. These innovations and breakthroughs have not only promoted the green transformation of the textile industry, but also provided consumers with more environmentally friendly, healthy and high-performance textile options. In the future, with the continuous advancement of technology and the changing needs of consumers, new functional fabrics will continue to play an important role in environmental protection and sustainable production.
