The concept of textile cleaner production

In recent years, countries in the world have gradually reached a consensus on their views on the environmental crisis. Simply on the environment, pollution and pollution control can not solve the contradictions between the environment and the economy and social development. It is extremely urgent to seek effective new production and life style. For the production of clean production came into being.

Cleaner production is a creative way of thinking about the prevention of pollution during the manufacture of products and products. Cleaner production continues to use overall preventative environmental protection strategies for the production process of the product. In 1989, the United Nations Environment Agency first standardized the concept of cleaner production. This concept encourages governments and industry to adopt a new definition of a preventive strategy to control pollution. It wrote the important document of the 1992 United Nations Conference on Environment and Development, “21st Century. Agenda. At present, more and more countries in the world have gradually accepted this concept.

The United Nations Environment Programme’s Center for Industry and Environment Planning first proposed the definition of cleaner production in 1989: Cleaner production is a new and creative idea that continues to apply the overall preventive environmental strategy to production processes and services to increase Eco-efficiency and reduce human and environmental risks. For the production process, cleaner production includes saving raw materials and energy, eliminating toxic raw materials and reducing their number and toxicity before all emissions and wastes leave the production process; for the product, it is required to reduce the whole life cycle from raw material extraction to final product disposal. Adverse effects; For services, environmental factors are required to design and provide services.

The definition of cleaner production involves two whole processes: First, the entire production process requires the use of non-toxic, low-toxic raw materials and non-polluting, less polluting processes and equipment for product production; the second is the entire life cycle of the product, requiring Products from the selection of raw materials to use after treatment shall not constitute or reduce harm to human health and the environment. Cleaner production does not include end-of-pipe treatment technologies such as air pollution control, wastewater treatment, solid waste incineration, or landfill. Cleaner production is achieved by applying specialized technologies, improving process technologies and changing management attitudes.

In 1993, China formulated “China’s Agenda 21” and pointed out that clean production refers to practical production methods and measures that can meet people’s needs, can reasonably use natural resources and energy, and protect the environment. The substance is a kind of material and energy. The planning and management of human activities with the least consumption will reduce, recycle, and harmless the waste, or be eliminated in the production process.

In June 2002, the "Cleaner Production Promotion Law" promulgated by China made specific provisions for the promotion and implementation of cleaner production in the industrial sector. It is clearly stated that cleaner production refers to the continuous improvement of design, the use of clean energy and raw materials, and the use of advanced technology. Measures such as bow equipment, improvement management, and comprehensive utilization, reduce pollution from the source, increase the efficiency of resource use, and reduce or avoid the generation and emission of pollutants in the production, service, and product use processes, so as to reduce or eliminate harm to human health and the environment .

Cleaner production is an inevitable trend of industrial development in the world. It is a mode relative to the extensive traditional industrial production model, and it is the basic mode of industrial production in the 21st century that achieves the unity of economic benefits, social benefits, and environmental benefits. It must be pointed out that cleaner production is a relative, dynamic concept. The so-called clean process and clean products are compared with existing processes. The implementation of cleaner production is itself a process of continuous improvement. With the development of social economy and the advancement of science and technology, it is necessary to put forward updated targets in a timely manner and constantly adopt new methods and means to achieve a higher level of cleaner production.
