Textiles weaving green prospects with high-tech

Sector's carbon emissions intensity down by over 60% in 2005-22 period

China's textile and apparel producers are making more efforts to cut carbon emissions, and technologies such as intelligent manufacturing, biomanufacturing and 3D printing are helping them to further accelerate the sector's green transformation.

As a core hub for global textile and clothing production and consumption, China's processing of textile fibers accounts for over 50 percent of the global total, said the China Textile Information Center (CTIC).

The country's textile sector's carbon emission intensity, which is measured by a company's carbon emissions volume divided by its sales revenue, declined by over 60 percent during the 2005-22 period. In the past two years, the carbon emissions intensity of leading domestic enterprises further dropped by 14 percent, said the China National Textile and Apparel Council.
