Green Circular Economy Becomes a Key Trend in Textile Industry

Suzhou, March 22, 2026 – In recent years, the textile industry has increasingly focused on green and low-carbon development, and the green circular economy has become an important development direction of the industry. Many leading enterprises have taken action to build a low-carbon circular industrial chain and promote the high-value utilization of waste textiles, making positive contributions to the industry's energy conservation and emission reduction. ShengHong Holding Group has innovatively built a low-carbon circular green industrial chain of "carbon dioxide capture and utilization - green ethylene glycol - low-carbon and environment-friendly polyester fiber", realizing the recycling of carbon dioxide and reducing the carbon emission of the industrial chain. Shanghai Defulun New Materials Technology Co., Ltd. adopts bio-enzyme depolymerization technology to realize the recycling of "old clothes recycling" to "high-quality recycled fibers", which not only solves the problem of waste textile treatment, but also reduces the demand for virgin fibers. Sun Ruizhe, president of the China Textile Industry Federation, said that from 2005 to 2024, the energy consumption per unit output value of China's textile industry decreased by more than 65%, the annual recycling volume of waste textiles increased by 12% on average, and the annual use of recycled fibers exceeded 3 million tons. In the future, the textile industry will further promote green design throughout the whole life cycle of products, strengthen energy conservation and emission reduction in the production link, and promote the high-quality development of the circular economy
