Second Hand Clothing Market Is Hard To Make &Nbsp In China; Where Is The Spring Of Green Textile Industry?

In 2010, cotton prices soared to 30 thousand yuan / ton, and this year was only the waste of Shanghai residents' families.

China held in December 2010

The meaning of this passage is clear and clear, that is, while developing new resources, renewable resources have not received enough attention and full utilization.

Renewable resources include old clothes and reuse. If the proportion of waste clothes consumed per person per quarter is calculated, the resources of this part are quite large and continuous, which should become an important source of new renewable resources for enterprises.

But somehow, such a strategy that contains huge business opportunities and meets the direction of future development is easily submerged in many hot topics such as consumer demand, domestic market, labor cost and so on, and has not received enough attention from the media and industry.

When low carbon environmental protection has become a global trend, Chinese insiders have not paid no attention to the topic of old clothes pformation. However, most of their views rest on the simple cycle level of "redesign" and "re sale (secondary market") from consumption to consumption. The re design of old clothes has become a fashion, but the second-hand market has been busy for a while. But for the recycling of old clothes, the whole industry is almost in a state of collective aphasia, so that the industrial cycle of regeneration technology such as fibrosis seems to have not been formed in theory.

Consumers, designers and business chains do not circulate.

China's textile and garment industry does not lack the concept of environmental protection.

From a point of view, from the textile and garment enterprises, to designers, to consumers, the whole industrial chain seems to have taken action together to complete a green jigsaw puzzle.

At the expense level, it is the most fashionable and environmentally friendly way of life to pform old clothes through design innovation.

The creative life website, which focuses on personal creativity, from the English rounding of the word "Circulation" to the exchange of old clothes, has begun to welcome more hits.

The students of the clothing College moved plastic bags, wrapping paper, disposable paper cups, newspapers, scrap film, and even cabbage leaves to campus T.

Design creativity continues to erupt in private and reserve forces.

Mature designers take their own

China's textile and garment enterprises have not disappointed their designers. Every year at the annual China Textile Innovation annual conference in December, a large number of enterprises with great achievements in product research and development will be awarded the product development award by the China Textile Industry Association.

The social responsibility system of textile and garment enterprises based on CSC9000 has also achieved remarkable results. In recent years, textile and garment enterprises have made gratifying achievements in reducing carbon emissions and improving environmental benefits.

But people who played jigsaw puzzles know that in addition to positive splicing, it is also an important way to search in reverse direction according to the existing conditions.

Before the 2009 Copenhagen climate conference, environmental protection has been blowing in China for quite some time.

But during that time, a fashion show with "green fashion" as the theme still attracted wide attention from domestic counterparts and even consumers.

Under the auspices of heavyweight fashion retailers H&M and Barneys, 20 fashion designers from Scandinavia made use of chemical fibers extracted from cotton, silk, recycled plastic bottles, and industrial and agricultural wastes as materials to make garments.

StineHedegaard, from the Danish Fashion Association, said: "this is an attempt and innovation to replace traditional materials, and has achieved initial success in reducing pollution in Japan and Italy."

This is a chain of environmental protection from consumers, clothing brands to textile fabrics enterprises.

Unfortunately, the domestic media coverage has only stopped in the fashion of design for the attempt and innovation that has been "effective" in foreign environmental protection practice.

Many topics such as the huge industrial innovation and brand participation mechanism behind it have been skipped in fashion clothes.

Old clothes recycling, like an inconspicuous jigsaw puzzle, has been left behind, but in fact, it is an indispensable part of the whole "green puzzle".

Second hand clothing market is hard to make in China

There will be a lot of information on Baidu's search for second-hand clothing recycling.

Random dial several telephone numbers, the other side very directly told reporters, must "new" tail cargo inventory, and should have more than 500 scale, at the same time frankly said, "to sell to the four or five level market."

It seems that they often receive ordinary citizens who want to dispose of their old clothes. Therefore, they do not need to ask the reporters for detailed enquiries, so they ask for the so-called "second-hand clothes".

When fashion is just rising, mass consumption is still in a period of relative shortage of material, and reselling secondhand clothing has been a very profitable business.

But with the rapid development of China's garment industry and the advent of the era of high productivity, the demand for clothing is getting higher and higher. Fashion clothing is no longer an expensive scarcity. Second-hand clothing has lost its living space.

So most of the current recycling is for the recovery of stock tail cargo.

A former businessman who used to trade in second-hand clothing in the South has told reporters that there were two ways to recycle second-hand clothes.

One is to sell hands in domestic low-grade market, the other is to sell abroad to some relatively poor areas through some channels.

"I often lose clothes in New Zealand and are sold to second-hand markets," Miss Liu, a New Zealand resident, revealed in her blog.

New Zealand is a farming and animal husbandry country and a country of immigrants. It has no own complete textile and garment industry chain, so the underdeveloped countries are more suitable for the circulation of second-hand clothing.

Nowadays, in the modern domestic market with well-developed capacity and in the rapidly rising consumer safety awareness, it is hard to have any chance of sewing second-hand clothes. Even the brand new tail products are not very hot.

With the help of international charities, the secondary market for export is shrinking and the cost of channels is increasing.

"At that time, many friends who did this business have already changed careers."

Mr. Li said.

Another fashionable clothing recycling is popular brand recycling activities represented by UNIQLO.

Generally involves two themes: environmental protection and charity.

At first, UNIQLO asked consumers to bring their cleaned clothes to the brand stores to increase their customers' return rate, and finally get valuable feedback from this direct contact with consumers.

From this, they saw another demand, that is, the clothing materials made from recycled garments were used to produce garments.

But even for public service recycling, old clothes still flow to consumers, not to mention the second-hand market.

Such recycling is only a simple cycle, and it flows to the consumption field. The technology content is very low, and it fails to form an industrial cycle based on resource recycling.

As UNIQLO discovered earlier, the recycling of old clothes has become a new trend.

Missing recycling, environmental protection jigsaw missing most

A survey of retail sales of consumer goods in Shanghai in 2009 showed that the total consumption of clothing in Shanghai in the past 10 years was 373 billion 552 million yuan, an increase of 7.12 times compared with 2000.

With the development of social economy and the improvement of consumers' purchasing power, this figure is still rising rapidly.

At the same time, with the popularity of instant fashion such as "fast fashion" in China, the speed of clothing elimination is also accelerating.

The resulting discarded clothing has become a very substantial part of household waste.

From the perspective of industrial development, the regeneration and utilization of this part of resources can effectively alleviate the pressure of textile raw materials.

From the perspective of market development, as shown in the figures given by Vice President Sun Ruizhe in the previous paper, the production gap of about 2000000 tons of recycled fiber is a huge commercial space.

While continuing technological innovation and developing alternative resources, improving the efficiency of existing resources utilization is another way of thinking of industrial upgrading and pformation.

What the Copenhagen environmental protection show shows is not only simple old clothes design and pformation, but also a large circulation mode including various factors, such as consumers, brands, upstream fabric enterprises and other industrial chains.

The development of this trend should be jointly promoted by R & D, policy specification, legal protection, standard setting and market guidance. It should be combined with environmental protection, environmental protection, environmental protection and other aspects of the design as the theme of the green cause of textile and clothing.
