"Reborn - China Fiber Zero Carbon Action 2023 — Sustainable Textiles Credible Platform" was launched at the National Exhibition and Convention Center Shanghai to mark one of the industry's significant steps to practice the "dual carbon" strategy.
The platform is supervised by the Department of Consumer Goods Industry of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and Suzhou Market Supervision Administration and will be jointly run by China Chemical Fibers Association and the National Advanced Functional Fiber Innovation Center. Twenty-six enterprises were reported to have signed up for the platform and were honored during the conference for doing so.
China is the world's largest producer and consumer of chemical fiber, a crucial raw material for the textile industry. China produced 64.88 million tons of chemical fiber in 2022, which was more than 85 percent of the country's total fiber processing volume and more than 70 percent of the world's total fiber output.
