The activity consists of

The Training Bureau, the Legislative Council member Zhong Guobin office, the Hongkong textile and clothing research and development center and other units jointly organized, Hongkong TDC, Asahi group, HSBC and other sponsorship and support units.

"Fashion peak (Hongkong)" is Asia's first sustainable development.

This year's theme is "circular economy", aiming at exploring the sustainable solution of the fashion industry.

From the Hongkong Special Administrative Region government, the NGO organization, the global textile and clothing brand and clothing manufacturers and so on more than 600 ginseng.

Speakers and main guests of the day included Zhang Jianzong, Chief Secretary for administration of the Hongkong Special Administrative Region, Qiu Shenghua, Secretary for commerce and economic development, Zhong Guobin, Legislative Council member of the Hongkong Special Administrative Region, and United Nations Environment Agency Brenda.

The keynote speech on "recycling system of waste textiles and garments" was made at the meeting.

He mentioned scrap textiles.

Reuse is a business that benefits the nation and the people. It is also an industry full of business opportunities. It is in line with the concept of green, low carbon and circular development in the textile industry.

Although there are still many difficulties at present, such as scattered recycling channels, backward sorting methods, breakthroughs in key technologies, and weak R & D of regenerated products, all sectors of the industry and the community have been active in solving problems.

From the "old clothes zero abandon" series of activities to the recovery system exploration, to the domestic brand enterprise's producer responsibility extension obligations, and then to the technical research of the waste spinning and reprocessing manufacturer and the regenerative product development, the waste textile industry has not stopped.

The domestic waste textile resources are very rich, which is the general consensus of the current social circles.

Although the "old" waste spinning resources such as corner waste are basically reused, idle or discarded textiles are basically reused.

The ratio of recovery and reuse is less than 15%.

How to reuse the misplaced resources, sun Huaibin gave top level design ideas and solutions.

He believes that in order to comprehensively promote the construction of recycling system for waste textiles and garments, we should adopt the "waste spinning +" countermeasure mode in accordance with the national and industrial strategic requirements and market mechanism, and carry out work in five aspects.

First, we should carry out basic research and industry statistics, and establish a set of leading enterprises and research institutes through thorough investigation.

The statistical system; two is to establish the Internet repurchase as the core of the recovery network, through the series of mobile terminal recovery system, traceability information system and online trading platform to build information service platform; the three is to establish a regional sorting center and dismantling Center, to solve the problem of recycling, processing and trading of waste textile raw materials; four, to encourage leading enterprises to take the lead and scale effect, take the lead in the formulation of standards, technological breakthroughs and product development, and then standardize the market order, explore the way for the development of the industry; five, strengthen the construction of standards and certification system, and set up a number of standards urgently needed by the industry, such as classification standards, evaluation criteria for green design products, standard conditions for waste textile and reprocessing enterprises, and certification and accreditation system for regenerated textiles. Data collection and

In the framework of tackling climate change, the recycling of waste textiles has become a global topic. The textile industry, which has been strives to get rid of its inherent impression, has a strong desire for fashion, green and recycling development.

For such a potential billion billion industry, the future will be promising.
