Ecological cause: natural health and environmental protection into textile development trends.

Ecological undertakings are all-round.
the national "13th Five-Year Plan" put forward, to provide more high-quality ecological products for the people.
now, people are more and more concerned about the safety ecology of clothing, in addition to pursuing the safe ecology of food.
recently held in Beijing, "eco-natural textiles and healthy life" symposium, relevant experts and industry participants on related issues discussed.
in recent decades, the rapid development of modern industry and science and technology, with the resulting various waste gases, waste water caused by environmental pollution, resulting in the living environment is getting worse, seriously affecting people's health.
According to Guo Shun, general manager of Beijing Zhongcai Tianxing Textile Co., Ltd., a variety of chemical additives, dyes, heavy metals, formaldehyde, etc. for textiles are directly harmful to the human body.
scientific experiments have proved that the textile dyes, heavy metals, harmful chemical additives and other harmful chemical additives caused to the human body is invisible chronic harm, accumulated to a certain extent, will cause human organs to develop disease, seriously affect human health.
, the "Eco-textile technical requirements" and "national textile products basic safety technical specifications" in China's domestic production and sales of textiles in the toxic and harmful substances made clear.
but in actual production, these rules and requirements are often not complied with.
reporters learned that a few years ago Greenpeace published the global clothing toxic and harmful substances residue survey results, showing that Nike, Adidas and other well-known global clothing brands contain pyridine polyoxyethylene ether (NPEO) residue.
NPEO is an important component of alkylphenol polyoxyethylene ether (APEO), APEO is a typical representative of environmental hormones, itself carcinogenic and mutated, and biodegradation is slow, after invasion of the human body has a similar estrogen effect.
it is understood that in the production process, some well-known clothing brand suppliers did not do special treatment of wastewater discharge, only as a daily waste water discharge into sewage treatment plants, discharged "environmental hormone" substances into the Chinese river, so that multinational companies are caught in the "water pollution" cloud.
the incident was reported by several media at the time, but also reminded people of the safety of clothing and clothing production process of environmental pollution. the development of the natural organic textile industry in
has made the situation better.
natural organic raw materials in the planting process do not use fertilizers, pesticides, prohibit genetic modification, in the textile process does not add any harmful chemical additives.
this cultivation and processing method is not only environmentally friendly but also avoids the direct damage to human skin from textiles.
", "People's health and environmental awareness is growing faster than I thought, ecological sustainable development has inestimable value.
" said Xiong Dingguo, an environmentalist.
Guo Shun from 1999 to do natural color cotton production, in 2005 began to engage in organic color cotton production.
at that time he mainly do international trade, received new requirements from international brand partners, the other side is not only satisfied with natural cotton fabrics, but also requires healthy organic, as well as must pass the European Union and the United States certification, but also hope for long-term supply.
Guo Shun's state-owned enterprises set up a company to meet this demand, which also prompted the early transformation of the enterprise into organic cotton textile research and development, planting, processing and marketing.
" our support for the promotion of natural color cotton, of course, is conducive to the development of color cotton production, but also more conducive to consumer health and environmental protection, conducive to promoting the development of ecological undertakings.
" In the view of Yu Dongtian, head of the food safety task force of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, the highest goal is not economic benefits, not GDP, but people's ecological lifestyle and production methods, is the cause of ecological civilization.
"hope that ecological friends more spread and promote, the minority influence the public, to drive more people to join the ecological team.
," Mr Yu said. Guo Shun,
, said that the pursuit of "natural, healthy and environmental protection" has become a trend in textile development, but also scientific progress and socio-economic development of the inevitable product.
at the same time, it is also in line with the national policy to accelerate the development of energy-saving and environmental protection industries, promote energy conservation, emission reduction and environmental improvement.
the research, cultivation and application of natural organic cotton, will bring new economic growth points to the traditional textile market, Guo Shun has clearly felt that in recent years there are more and more textile enterprises at home and abroad, including more and more large enterprises involved.
