Jintang Light Textile New Materials will focus on the demonstration and application of “dual carbon” leading technologies, seizing the significant opportunity of energy conservation and carbon reduction policies in the spring of 2024. Through years of technological accumulation and research and development, Jintang Light Textile New Materials is prepared to promote the low-carbon and green development of the textile printing and dyeing industry, making breakthroughs in textile pre-treatment technology. Guided by the ESG concept, we are committed to promoting carbon reduction demonstrations and the application of standards in industrial parks, making contributions to the sustainable development of the industry.

In the spring of 2024, Jintang Light Textile New Materials continued to benefit: After the National Development and Reform Commission released the “Special Management Measures for Central Budget Investment in Energy Conservation and Carbon Reduction” on April 8, Zhang Zhijun, Chairman of Jintang Light Textile New Materials, excitedly stated that this is a major opportunity, and the company’s technological accumulation over the years has finally ushered in a chance to accumulate and develop.

Jintang Textile New Materials Became a “Ready Person”

Zhang Zhijun stated that the “Special Management Measures for Investment within the Central Budget for Energy Conservation and Carbon Reduction” point out that the special focus is on supporting key industries and areas for energy conservation and carbon reduction, as well as promoting carbon reduction through circular economy. The key support includes: demonstration and application projects of advanced technologies for carbon peaking and carbon neutrality, energy-saving and carbon reduction projects in key industries and areas, promoting carbon reduction through circular economy, and others.
The reason why Jintang Light Textile New Materials has become a “prepared person” is because many years ago, we made great efforts in the textile printing and dyeing industry to find and solve the core and major basic problems of the industry. Our practice has proven that through technological innovation, it is feasible to achieve the goal of effectively reducing carbon emissions by 50-80% by 2030. In addition, through circular economy and the use of technologies such as green electricity, the industry is expected to achieve carbon neutrality goals 30 years ahead of schedule by 2030.

Focus on the key to low-carbon and green development in the industry

Focus on the key to low-carbon and green development in the industry

Zhang Zhijun introduced that in the first 30 years of China’s textile industry, low-carbon and green industries focused on printing and dyeing, with the key being pre-treatment. The total number of employees in the entire industry chain is nearly 30 million, with a GDP of nearly 3.5 trillion yuan per year. Export sales account for 56%, while domestic sales account for 44%. The entire industry, from raw materials to equipment, process technology, and industrial park support, has become the most complete industrial chain in the world, occupying an important position in the national economy. At present, the energy consumption of China’s textile industry accounts for 4.4% of the national industry, 8.5% of water, and 18% of pollution. According to the above three data, “textile printing and dyeing” accounts for 60% of the total energy consumption of textiles (steam accounts for 80%), 90% of water, and 80% of pollution.

Speech by Zhang Zhijun at the 2023 Global Textile Carbon Neutrality International Summit

China’s textile printing and dyeing technology is currently in a relatively leading position globally, but compared with petrochemical, electronic, new energy, medical, aerospace, etc., textile printing and dyeing technology has fallen behind by thirty years. (Reason: Due to labor costs and pollution issues, Europe, America, and Japan began transferring production capacity to Southeast Asia and China 30 years ago, resulting in a lack of industrial validation experimental bases in the process of scientific research transformation. Investment in scientific research gradually decreased, even significantly.).
China’s textile research is based on the former Ministry of Textile, with a large number of talents and research institutes (combined with the principle of first science and technology innovation). After the system reform, the industry has transformed from state-owned to private economy, and industrial research has shifted from research institutes of national ministries to universities as the main focus. However, research and industrial application are disconnected (scientific research/commodities).
In addition, the industry has transitioned from state-owned capital (planned economy) to today’s 99% private market economy, with changes in talent structure and different scientific research investment entities, resulting in relatively backward industrial technology. The only opportunity today is the market economy system that has created a complete industrial chain in the past thirty years. The industrial foundation has a large stock, and it is feasible to revitalize the industry through technological innovation, as long as government policies guide it in place, integrate technology with ESG concepts, establish benchmarks, and set industry standards. If the textile industry wants to become a low-carbon and green industry, the focus is on printing and dyeing, and the key lies in pre-treatment.

Focusing on the demonstration and application of “dual carbon” leading technologies will go further and further

Jintang Light Textile New Materials has been committed to the research and development of new technologies in textile printing and dyeing pre-treatment for 14 years, and has obtained a total of 22 patents and 3 standards for pre-treatment technology. It is the first enterprise in the global textile printing and dyeing industry to achieve a breakthrough in the core technology of alkaline oxygen technology for textile pre-treatment.
Practice has proven that the application of Jintang’s new technology can achieve practical results, including:
A. In the alkaline oxygen process, there is no occurrence of oxidation holes, reducing weight loss by 2%, and obtaining the world’s only process commercial insurance.
B. Zero discharge of pre-treatment wastewater (100% resource utilization), solving the world problem of primary microplastics entering rivers and seas.
C. The production process is simple, with a significant cost reduction of over 30%, laying the technical foundation for the green, clean, and intelligent industry.
D. Can achieve effective carbon reduction of 50-80%.
At present, Jintang Light Textile New Materials is using the ESG concept as a starting point to quickly enter the industrial park pilot, create effective carbon reduction industry new standards and new operating models, introduce new technologies for demonstration, establish park access standards, and then introduce more international and domestic brands for procurement based on the standards. Strive to promote park demonstrations, park standards, and commercial models to industrial parks in various parts of the country.
