China Builds Sustainable Textile Supply Chain

Faced with growing green trade barriers, China, the world's largest exporter of fabric products, will build a sustainable supply chain for fabric products, which will build a "green channel" for fabric product exports.

Jiang Zengwei, chairman of the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade, said at the "China-EU Renewable Supply Chain High-level Forum" on the 28th that China-EU textile products trade plays an important role in China-EU trade. %. Optimizing the sustainable supply chain of the fabric industry will further increase the scale of China-EU trade, and it is also of great significance to lead the global trade out of the trough.

The damage caused by green trade barriers to China's fabric products trade should not be underestimated. According to estimates, in 2015, China ’s total amount of losses due to the failure of various green inspection standards in the European Union accounted for 18.9% of China ’s total export of EU fabric workwear. And the EU's new environmental protection policy, the product environmental footprint (PEF), has entered the experimental stage. Once it is adopted, it will bring severe challenges to the export of our fabric industry.

The Forum will announce the "Action Plan for Sustainable Supply Chain of Chinese Fabrics". According to the plan, the four major projects of sustainable standard system construction, intelligent production, innovative design, and green brand construction will be implemented, and the formulation of standards for fabric products and fabric intelligent manufacturing will be strengthened at each link of the fabric supply chain. In 2036, China's fabric industry has established a world-leading technology system and a sustainable production standard system.

Zhao Ping, director of the International Trade Research Department of the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade, pointed out that building a sustainable supply chain can break the green trade barriers of fabric exports on the one hand, and also promote the transformation of domestic fabric companies, and also help improve the formulation of international trade rules by Chinese enterprises.
