Green Textiles: Environmentally friendly practices in fabric processing of Fengjin apparel

Henan Fengjin Garment Co., Ltd. takes "green weaving for the future" as its mission, bravely becomes a pioneer in ecological transformation in the field of fabric textile processing, and builds a green development system covering the entire industrial chain.

The company has invested heavily in introducing Europe’s cutting-edge low-energy green textile process cluster, building an intelligent agent control platform, and accurately controlling the amount of chemical agents through AI algorithms, reducing the consumption of chemical agents by 65% ​​compared with traditional processes. At the same time, it has created an industry-leading three-stage filtration + membrane treatment closed-loop sewage treatment system to achieve 96% of production wastewater recycling, and equipped with photocatalytic oxidation waste gas purification equipment to achieve a waste gas purification rate of 98.5%, cutting off the pollution chain from the source and setting a new benchmark for green production in the textile industry.

In terms of production process innovation, the company deeply integrates the industrial Internet and intelligent manufacturing technology, and implements full-process dynamic energy efficiency management for 21 core processes such as weaving, dyeing, and finishing. Through nano-coating technology, the production equipment is transformed for energy saving, combined with the independently developed intelligent temperature control dyeing process, the unit energy consumption of fabrics is reduced by 38%, and the comprehensive utilization rate of water resources is increased to 85%. It is particularly worth mentioning that the company’s R&D team spent three years to develop the plant indigo low-temperature dyeing technology, which not only successfully pushed cotton and linen fabrics to the GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) and OCS (Organic Content Standard) dual certification system, but also jumped the color fastness of fabrics from the industry’s conventional 3-4 levels to 4-5 levels, truly achieving a perfect balance between environmental protection and quality.

As a “national green factory” and “China’s textile industry sustainable development demonstration enterprise”, Fengjin Clothing’s green practice has produced a strong radiation effect. In the past three years, the company has exported 18 environmental protection technology patents and 9 green production standards to the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain, driving 52 supporting enterprises to complete clean production transformation, and forming a green industry ecosystem of coordinated development. In terms of fulfilling social responsibilities, the company actively participates in the formulation of industry standards and takes the lead in compiling the “Technical Specifications for Green Production in the Textile Industry”, contributing wisdom to promote the green transformation of the entire industry.

Looking to the future, Fengjin Clothing is anchored on the goal of building a “zero-carbon factory” and plans to achieve 100% renewable fabric raw materials and carbon neutrality in the production process by 2025. The company is working hard to build a full life cycle recycling system from fiber planting, fabric production to recycling and reuse of old clothes, investing in the construction of a recycled fiber research and development center to explore the path of high-value utilization of waste textiles. In addition, the company has also cooperated with universities and research institutions to establish a green textile innovation laboratory to carry out cutting-edge technology research such as natural dye extraction and bio-based fiber development, and is committed to providing a replicable and popularizable “Chinese solution” for the green transformation of the global textile industry, helping to achieve the “dual carbon” goals with practical actions, and leading the clothing industry towards a more environmentally friendly and sustainable future.
