Recently, four companies, Shenghong Chemical Fiber, Hengli Chemical Fiber, Yingxiang Chemical Fiber, and Xinmin Technology, have become the first companies in China to recommend carbon footprint accounting for China Chemical Fibre Association, and have successfully obtained Intertek-CCFA product carbon footprint certificates and green leaf labels. For enterprises, in this society that advocates low-carbon and environmental protection, proactively controlling the greenhouse gases emitted by enterprises is in keeping with the trend of the times. Not only can we meet more stringent climate change policies and environmental protection laws and regulations, but also meet the company's own development requirements, and it will help to obtain green credit, reduce ** costs, and it is also for our homeland. Descendants and grandchildren open a green window.

Why Choose This Road In recent years, as the global appeal for climate change has been rising, the wave of low-carbon economy has continued to hit, and China is ranked first in the world's latest greenhouse gas emissions rankings. The international community pays great attention to us and comprehensively increases the comprehensive competitiveness of the chemical fiber industry. Raising the capacity for sustainable development and establishing a circular economy development model for the chemical fiber industry is an important task for China's chemical fiber industry during the 12th Five-Year Plan period. The development of a low-carbon economy is not only an interface with international standards, but also an indispensable step for China's sustainable development.

Today's consumers are paying more and more attention to green products and environmentally friendly companies, which allows companies to measure their own production processes, product carbon footprint, and environmental impact. Whether it is to assess the carbon footprint of a product or to conduct a comprehensive environmental impact assessment (such as the water footprint, waste generated, and energy consumed during the product life cycle), the company is making environmental strategies, maintaining competitive advantages, and The first step in meeting market demand. In the future, in addition to the competition of the products themselves, the internationalization of the textile and chemical fiber industries will be the most important competitive factor. Countries around the world, especially developed countries in Europe and America, have always faced green trade barriers against Chinese products. To break the barriers of each other and enter the other mainstream market, we must develop a low-carbon economy and develop environmentally-friendly textile and chemical fiber products.

In many countries and regions, a voluntary or mandatory carbon labeling system has been introduced to require environmental information on products. This makes retailers, brands and suppliers must take appropriate measures to collect relevant information throughout the supply chain. Because consumers are increasingly cautious when choosing products, they are more willing to choose brands that uphold the concept of environmental protection for production and management. Therefore, communicating with consumers and communicating their efforts in assessing, managing, and reducing environmental impacts has become a In today’s increasingly socially-enhanced society, the basic skills necessary to maintain its own brand image and enhance its product credibility are essential.

The product carbon footprint accounting is the first step for companies to carry out low-carbon transformation. Using the life cycle assessment (LCA) method, not only comprehensive assessment of energy consumption, material consumption and emissions at various stages of the product life cycle, but also through the quantitative indicator carbon footprint of the product The system evaluated the environmental impact of climate warming. Therefore, companies can use carbon footprint accounting to help customers find heat sources for emissions. Combined with other means, on the one hand, they can help enterprises formulate reasonable emission reduction plans and targets. On the other hand, they will also apply emission reduction and new process applications and new products. Combining development and efficiency, we will embark on a sustainable, low-carbon and efficient road to development. Obtaining carbon footprint accounting improves product competitiveness - For products with the same price and quality, the buyer will choose environmentally friendly products. The use of internationally accepted accounting methods not only enables China's chemical fiber industry to be at the international frontier in starting energy-saving, emission-reduction and green and low-carbon jobs, but also is conducive to being in a superior position in the future of international trade disputes, and at the same time it will also help enhance the company's image.

How to take this road well-known, Shenghong Chemical Fiber and Hengli Chemical Fiber are two large chemical companies. With the expansion of scale, greenhouse gas emissions are also increasing, which not only endangers our living environment and health and safety, but also Not conducive to the company's long-term sustainable development, but also with the country's low-carbon environmental protection. Against this background, both companies have actively participated in the low-carbon production team.

For Hengli Chemical Fiber, the development of low-carbon environmental protection seems to be the route that companies have followed. In the design stage of the creation period, companies follow the principle of high standards and high starting points. All equipment is equipped with the most advanced international equipment and automation systems, and uses low-energy, high-efficiency polyester, spinning production equipment and public engineering equipment. Continuously strengthen the construction of energy saving and emission reduction projects. From the in-depth treatment of waste water to the reuse of water, comprehensive optimization of energy systems, energy saving in spinning process equipment, and comprehensive utilization of waste resources, Hengli Chemical Fiber has carried out energy-saving and emission reduction technological transformation in various aspects, realizing the comprehensive energy of unit products. With a drastic reduction in consumption, the Hengli Group and Hengli Chemical Fiber have received awards from the National Energy Conservation Technology Reform Project twice. At the same time, Hengli Chemical Fibers has deepened the development and application of the “two-in-one fusion” technology, achieving efficiency in procurement, production, sales, and other aspects, further reducing the overall carbon emissions of the unit product. At present, a series of information technology and software systems independently researched and developed by Hengli Company have been fully applied in the procurement, sales, quality inspection, storage and transportation links to optimize operational processes and reduce carbon emissions.

In the future, the low-carbon transformation of the chemical fiber industry can not only stay in the concept stage, but must be implemented into the implementation process. This requires penetration into the entire operation process. It not only requires the manufacturing sector to achieve low-carbon transition, but also the supporting links and the consumption link must achieve low levels. Carbon transformation. During the "12th Five-Year Plan" period, Hengli Chemical Fiber will continue to upgrade its equipment and introduce more advanced technology and equipment to replace it. It will continue to develop and apply new energy-saving and emission reduction technologies to implement technological transformation and improve energy from all aspects. , the utilization efficiency of resources, reducing unit consumption and emissions. In addition, Hengli Chemical Fiber will, at an appropriate time, use advanced fusion technologies to build an energy resource management center, improve the management and control of energy resources through informatization and standardization, and conduct in-depth research on green manufacturing technologies to realize green ecological products in the chemical fiber industry. The development and application, and continue to learn from advanced companies at home and abroad, through cooperation, exchanges and other forms to improve the company's own low-carbon development level.

Another company that successfully obtained Intertek-CCFA's carbon footprint certificate and green leaf label, Shenghong Chemical Fiber, seems to be working hard. Shenghong Chemical Fiber actively responds to the global call for low-carbon environmental protection, strives to build a green development, builds a resource-conserving and environment-friendly enterprise, and invites third-party certification organizations to conduct carbon footprint accounting and management training for the company's internal auditors and engineers and leaders. The company's carbon footprint awareness, and with several major suppliers of raw materials, consumer, etc. together with the certification body's forensic work. In addition, Shenghong Chemical Fiber implements the ISO14001 environmental management system, establishes a clean production mechanism, and finds ideas for reducing emissions from a macro perspective. Managers also started from their own, to the staff of the factory to match bicycles to reduce the application of private cars, the company specified the air conditioning temperature (not to be more than 26 °C in winter, not less than 26 °C in summer), efforts to improve technology, steam pipe insulation Layer thickening design and so on, these have reduced carbon emissions to a certain extent, also increased the sustainable development of the industry.

When talking about Shenghong Chemical Fiber's contribution to the sustainable development of the industry, the responsible person of the company stated that Shenghong Chemical Fiber will accelerate the elimination of backward processes, technologies and equipment with high energy consumption, low efficiency, and heavy pollution. Energy, strengthen R&D of low-carbon technologies and industrial inputs, vigorously develop low-carbon industries, and form new growth points for low-carbon industries. At the same time, it is also recommended that the government give relative rewards to mobilize the enthusiasm of enterprises and increase their efforts to carry out low-carbon transformation.
