On The "International Carbon Rights" Cross-Strait Textile Enterprises Join Hands

To combat the international carbon tax on textile courses in the mainland, under the impetus of the China Federation of textile industry and the Federation of Chinese textile entrepreneurs, the "green energy fiber alliance" (NITI), which was formed by the cross-strait textile enterprises, was signed in recent days.

The alliance has attracted Taiwan spinning Taiwan textile enterprises such as Industrial Co., Ltd., Sanxin textile and Nanliang group, as well as the largest antistatic fabric factory in the mainland, Zhejiang blue sky sea, the largest dyeing and finishing plant, the Federation Sanhe, the largest mercerized cotton leisure brand manufacturer, the cold transfer printing technology enterprise -- Fujian gage, and 17 companies such as Haitian technology.

On the 19 day of the union working conference, the franchisee discussed how to jointly strive for international carbon discourse on both sides of the Strait.

　　 17 enterprises across the Taiwan Straits join

The establishment of NITI is not a short-term decision. As early as more than a year ago, both sides of the Strait began to engage in communication. Among them, the mainland businessmen were invited by the federal Sanhe (Fujian) Limited by Share Ltd, and the Taiwan businessmen were invited by Taiwan textile and industrial company.

In July last year, a number of enterprises participated in the preparatory meeting of the NITI alliance, and discussed the establishment of the alliance and the development of green energy fiber. At that time, DuPont Co was invited to take part in it. Finally, however, there were only 17 enterprises.

"We spent a year or so preparing for it. When we invited our member enterprises, we valued common environmental concepts, corporate social responsibility and unique technological advantages in the industry. During this period, a lot of run in, some enterprises joined and quit, and some enterprises did a lot of work before they agreed to join. The current member enterprises are enterprises with the same concept and irreplaceable technological advantages. Hu Yongqin, general manager of Taiwan Textile Industry Co., Ltd.

After the establishment of NITI, the lead party Federation Sanhe was elected as the chairman unit. For this time Cross-strait textile Lin Rongyin, chairman of the company, expressed confidence in the future development of the alliance and the cooperation between the two sides.

"The international demand for low carbon and environmental protection of textile enterprises has been increasing. France has asked that imported textiles must be marked with carbon footprints, and us WAL-MART also announced a 3 year buffer period. After that, all suppliers must complete the certification of carbon labelling. At that time, traditional textiles exported to the world will be hit hard. The mainland textile enterprises have the advantage of marketing channels, and Taiwan textile enterprises are good at functional textiles. The NITI alliance will integrate these advantages of the member enterprises and start low carbonization from the raw material links, and take the lead in launching low-carbon environmentally friendly textile products that meet the international market demand in the future. Lin Rongyin believes that the green energy fiber not only meets the environmental demands of carbon saving, but also has broad prospects for R & D, production and marketing.

　　 Joint effect of industrial chain

At the same time, when we invited our colleagues to join us, SPC and Federation Sanhe pay more attention to the cooperation between upstream and downstream of the industrial chain, and we are linking up the drawnwork, weaving, dyeing, finishing and garment manufacturers across the Straits to form a strategic alliance to seize the initiative in establishing energy saving and emission reduction textile standards.

"Sanxin is good at colored yarn, gage is mainly in cold transfer printing, and federal Sanhe has the advantage of air flow dyeing. In every step, we choose the best technology enterprises, and every enterprise does their best job, and we must cooperate and cooperate with each other so that the whole industry's environmental protection will be maximized. Hu Yongqin said.

Wang Yanzhu, chairman of gage, agreed. He believes that at present, the textile industry has come to the stage of structural adjustment and industrial upgrading. Under multiple pressures, it is impossible to solve the problem only by management, and the whole industry must be upgraded as a whole. The transformation and upgrading of the entire industry is not enough by relying solely on the strength of an enterprise, and it needs the interaction of the entire industrial chain. "NITI can be called" think tank ". A very important duty is to collect information and provide a bridge for cross-strait enterprises. The docking of enterprises and research results is needed, and many projects in mainland China can find a docking point in Taiwan. The purpose of the alliance is to help enterprises upgrade as a whole.

Wang Yanzhu said that Taiwan's advantage lies in its rich experience in international trade and its solid foundation. The mainland's 1 billion 300 million market is very attractive, and at the same time, Fujian has a complete industrial chain. Over the past few decades, a number of textile operators in Fujian have been active throughout the country and have abundant resources.

"Some raw materials of the mainland textile industry, especially green materials, are purchased from Taiwan, and Taiwan's new technology and raw materials also want to enter the mainland market. NITI provides a platform for it. At the same time, mainland enterprises can make use of this platform to take advantage of the advantages of Taiwan's international trade to circumvent some barriers and enter the international market faster, especially in the Southeast Asian market. Wang Yanzhu said that the professional cooperation mechanism of the industrial chain is more advantageous than that of a single enterprise in seeking all kinds of technological breakthroughs, and contributes to the transformation and upgrading of the overall structure of the textile industry.

　　 Fight for international carbon discourse

Adhering to the concept of green, low carbon and environmental protection has become the consensus of NITI member enterprises. It is gratifying to note that many textile and garment enterprises, including the federal Sanhe and other enterprises, have gradually increased the development, utilization and popularization of environment-friendly raw materials, and fully embody the development trend of energy saving, low carbon and environmental protection.

Since last year, the Federation Sanhe has increased cooperation with many other raw materials enterprises such as spinning and weaving industry and launched a series of fabric products with cold feeling effect. And how to further promote the promotion of low-carbon products, federal Sanhe believes that the upstream enterprises to provide carbon label tag is very important. To this end, the international standard certification body BSI British Standards Association was invited to become an alliance consultant.

It is reported that BSI is the only foreign certification body in the energy management system approved by the state regulatory commission, and commissioned by the Commission to provide energy management system services for 914 textile enterprises. At the same time, the agency is the first national standard institution in the world, and its certification has a certain voice in the international arena.

"On the one hand, all industries across the Taiwan Strait have taken actions to increase R & D of environmental protection products. On the other hand, we hope to join the international certification bodies to get internationally recognized carbon label tag support. This is not only for businesses. international marketing It also helps to spread the idea of low-carbon to the end. Textile enterprises, Federation Sanhe, Huamao shares and many other enterprises have said.

The members of the NITI alliance believe that if the alliance can win internationally recognized carbon label tags, China's textiles will be more competitive than those in Southeast Asia. "Now the pressure of orders shifting is increasing. On the cost of labor, our Chinese enterprises can not compare with the high-end textile products in terms of environmental protection, which will have a more competitive advantage internationally.

　　 NITI member enterprises gain profits instead of increase

This year, because of the sharp increase in raw materials and labor costs, sales of conventional textile products have been blocked. Many textile enterprises have expressed difficulties in their operation. However, many NITI members' revenues and profits have gone against the trend.

Taiwan Lan Xiang enterprises, which started using the cool yarn of Taiwan in the second half of last year, estimated that the special fabric used in this year's cool yarn can be sold for 200 thousand meters and will increase to 2 million meters next year. Lan Xiang, deputy general manager of Zhang Hong, said that although the environment is not good enough, but for the oil companies, coal companies, banks and road toll companies whose profits continue to increase, it will increase the company's image by allowing employees to wear energy-saving and carbon reduction environmental uniforms.

The functional textile department of Nanliang group in Taiwan also grew by more than 40% in the first quarter of this year. It has begun to expand the mainland market for 6 years, with two digit growth every year. Last year and the previous year, its revenue grew by more than 30% over the previous 1 years.

However, the head of Nanliang group's mainland business said that the import of functional fiber masterbatch from Taiwan still needs to pay 6.5% customs duties, plus 17% of value-added tax and transportation costs, and the average cost is increased by more than 30%. In the follow-up negotiations on tariff reduction and reduction in ECFA, Taiwan should strive to reduce the tariff of textile masterbatch to the mainland to zero.
