1. Connotation of low carbon economy
The concept of low-carbon economy is based on the sustainable development of China's social economy. Through a series of measures such as industrial transformation, new energy development and utilization, and technological innovation, the goal of reducing fossil energy consumption and carbon emissions, improving energy efficiency, and achieving the harmonious development of economic construction and natural ecological environment can be achieved. Therefore, from this perspective, low-carbon economy is not only a new modern economic model, but also a strategy to alleviate the energy crisis and global warming. With the development of Internet, artificial intelligence and other technologies, the connotation of low-carbon economy has also been further optimized and expanded in economic development, covering production, circulation, consumption and other links. It has gradually developed to meet the needs of social and economic development through policy innovation, technological reform, system improvement and other ways on the basis of full respect for the market economic system.
China's low-carbon economy mainly covers the following aspects: (1) the market model of high energy consumption and low output in traditional production industries has been criticized. In contrast, the low-carbon economy pays more attention to reducing energy consumption per unit product, improving energy efficiency and reducing carbon emissions. (2) Low carbon economy is conducive to the implementation of clean development model. The traditional production industry takes fossil raw materials as the main energy, with high carbon emissions; Under the low-carbon economic model, on the one hand, it is required to control the consumption of fossil energy; on the other hand, it is also required to vigorously develop clean energy technologies and products, actively promote and apply them, and balance the relationship between energy consumption and environmental protection. (3) Under the low-carbon economy mode, in addition to relying on the government to issue corresponding policies, enterprises to enhance awareness and invest more in technology research and development funds, it also needs the support of ordinary people to change the past high-carbon life mode and consumption concept, so that the low-carbon mode can go deep into people's daily life.
2 importance of realizing low carbon economic development in textile printing and dyeing industry
With the intensification of global warming, the concept of green economic development needs to be fully implemented in the strategic deployment of sustainable development of enterprises. The concept of low-carbon economy not only refers to the achievement of low emission standards, but also includes the establishment of a low pollution control system.
2.1 reduce production costs and improve economic benefits of enterprises
Energy saving and emission reduction is an important way to reduce production costs and improve economic benefits. With the help of advanced technology and equipment, comprehensively improve the process technology and management level, promote energy conservation and emission reduction, and improve resource utilization; At the same time, promote product development, improve the quality and stability of fabrics, improve the grade and added value of fabrics, and enable enterprises to obtain more profits.
2.2 improve the market core competitiveness of enterprises
Through the work of energy conservation and emission reduction in the textile industry, some old equipment has been further upgraded, reaching a new production level. At the same time, the strategic goal of energy conservation and consumption reduction has been achieved, and the overall competitiveness of the textile industry has been comprehensively improved. At the same time, we should constantly innovate textile printing and dyeing products, adopt new fibers and new technologies to improve the dyeing and finishing process of fabrics, improve the quality and grade of fabrics, increase post-treatment processes such as embroidery, bronzing, demoulding and calendering, increase multi-functional treatment processes such as permanent moisture absorption, sweat wicking, antibacterial, UV resistance and cool feeling, implement enterprise fine cultivation management, and improve product added value and market share, Enhance the core competitiveness and international competitiveness of enterprises.
3 current situation of textile printing and dyeing industry under low carbon economic environment
Developing low-carbon economy and realizing the industrialization transformation of "low-carbon life and production mode" are the goals that all industrial fields in China should strive for, and the textile industry is no exception. At this stage, China's textile industry has not been comprehensively rectified. Some small and medium-sized enterprises still use the production and processing technology with high energy consumption, but the output is very low, which does not match the high energy consumption, which will cause serious waste of human and resources. This also objectively reflects that although the slogan of "low carbon economy" has been sounded, it has not been truly implemented in textile printing and dyeing enterprises. Therefore, China's textile industry has only made some achievements, and there are still a series of problems in the development of low-carbon economy.
3.1 insufficient awareness of low carbon and environmental protection
At present, the enterprise lacks the awareness of low-carbon environmental protection, and the low-carbon life is still on the surface. In the raw material supply, production and processing, marketing and other links of the enterprise, the traditional management mode is still used, and the concept of low-carbon economy is not really integrated. Accordingly, in the domestic textile printing and dyeing industry, there is no unified standard for the indicators of low-carbon economy, and the layout of the textile industry is also unreasonable. In the production system, due to the lack of specific carbon emission indicators and incomplete relevant information, some enterprises, in order to increase profits, are unwilling to spend high prices to introduce advanced environmental protection and low-carbon equipment, and the lack of internal professional talent reserves, which limits the development of low-carbon economy in enterprises.
3.2 unreasonable industrial structure
Since the reform and opening up, the concept of "coastal first and inland second" has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. The coastal areas are stimulated by foreign trade funds, the economic system is constantly improving, and the integration of various resources is greater than that of inland areas. While driving the regional economic development, it has also caused serious environmental pollution. Therefore, in the face of the current major problems, it is necessary to accelerate the transformation of enterprises, realize the transfer of coastal textile industry to the inland, narrow the development gap between the central and western regions, and promote the transformation and rectification of enterprises. From the development of central and Western China, there are many natural energy resources that can be developed in this region, but it is relatively backward in the development of science and technology and information technology, and there is a large space for development. Therefore, how to make use of the geographical advantages of the western region to develop new energy sources based on solar energy and wind energy, and optimize the equipment configuration of textile printing and dyeing enterprises, will be the key development direction, because this can greatly improve production efficiency and reduce resource consumption.
3.3 high energy consumption
Although China has been actively rectifying its enterprises, compared with developed countries, energy consumption is still large. Due to the long industrial chain, long production cycle, high energy consumption and untimely sewage treatment in China's textile industry, it has a great impact on China's industrial energy consumption. China's low-carbon development is facing new challenges, and it is difficult for the textile industry to develop a low-carbon economy. At present, many countries have implemented "carbon tariff". In the future, China will follow the trend of the times and take relevant measures to curb the utilization of coal resources, which will further restrict the development of the textile industry.
3.4 oversupply of textile industry
China has a large population, but there is always an unbalanced system between the production system and consumption system of the textile industry, that is, supply exceeds demand. In order to make relevant profits, a large number of textiles must be exported. However, this part of textiles is produced and processed by relying on domestic resources, which consumes a lot of limited resources. Although domestic policies have been issued to speed up the elimination of some enterprises and process technologies with backward production capacity, the corresponding problems such as backward equipment, low production efficiency and insufficient staffing have not been completely eliminated in essence, hindering the development of China's textile printing and dyeing industry and China's development towards a "low-carbon economy".
4 development trend of textile printing and dyeing industry under low carbon economy
4.1 enhance the enterprise's awareness of low carbon and environmental protection
(1) The management of textile printing and dyeing enterprises should fully realize the importance of developing low-carbon economy. In order to achieve the goal of low-carbon economy, enterprises need to integrate the concept of low-carbon economy from technology research and development, production and processing, marketing and other channels, follow the national and local low-carbon economic standards, and make the whole textile industry develop in a green and healthy direction. From the perspective of short-term interests, this transformation will be a large investment, which will cause considerable capital and human pressure for small and medium-sized textile printing and dyeing enterprises. However, from a long-term perspective, under the concept of low-carbon economy, the energy consumption of enterprises will continue to decrease, and the costs will also decrease accordingly; In addition, the R & D and promotion of new low-carbon textile products can meet the market demand for low-carbon products, drive the sales and profit growth of enterprises, and then improve the market share of enterprises' products, laying the foundation for the long-term and stable development of enterprises.
(2) In the process of transforming to a low-carbon and efficient production mode, textile printing and dyeing enterprises also need to strengthen the publicity of low-carbon economy for grass-roots employees, cultivate the scientific low-carbon awareness of employees, and enable employees at all posts to understand and recognize low-carbon production, start from their own, and deeply implement the low-carbon concept into their work and life. At the same time, enterprises can also cooperate with industry associations to strengthen the publicity and training of low-carbon knowledge for their employees, so as to improve their low-carbon environmental protection literacy.
(3) In order to enhance the awareness of low-carbon environmental protection of textile enterprises, government departments can give certain financial subsidies in policy to reward those enterprises that meet the standards in the R & D and production of low-carbon technologies, and improve their enthusiasm for developing a low-carbon economic model.
4.2 improve industrial laws and regulations
At this stage, China's low-carbon economic laws and regulations on the textile printing and dyeing industry are not perfect, and many enterprises in the industry are in a dilemma without policy standards as a basis. Therefore, relevant departments should establish a policy system in combination with the actual situation and development direction of the industry, implement energy-saving and emission reduction policies for the textile printing and dyeing industry, comprehensively monitor the low-carbon development of textile products, and encourage the development of textile products in the direction of high efficiency and low consumption. For example, the governments of some regions in Zhejiang Province, where the textile printing and dyeing industry is more developed, have issued policies to promote the overall transformation and upgrading of enterprises in the region, and to develop towards green, digital and high-end. In addition, the government has led the establishment of emerging platforms such as collaborative innovation centers, improved the "consultation and pulse" of the transformation of the printing and dyeing industry, provided solutions, and worked hard to cultivate more well-known benchmark enterprises at home and abroad, Strive to build a "green high-end, world leading" modern industrial cluster.
4.3 change the development trend
The textile industry plays an important social role in the field of low-carbon environmental protection in China, and also shoulders a huge social responsibility. In this case, China's large, medium and small textile printing and dyeing enterprises must rely on relevant national policies and use national investment to meet their own technology and equipment needs and improve product quality. Some small and medium-sized textile enterprises can learn relevant textile printing and dyeing technology from large textile enterprises and cooperate with large enterprises to realize production modernization. According to China's "the Belt and Road" initiative, we can create brands with Chinese characteristics, form Chinese cheongsam, Tang clothing, Hanfu and other unique brands, and make the brands bigger and stronger. On this basis, actively promote the application of energy conservation and emission reduction mode in the textile printing and dyeing industry, build a circular economy system, strengthen enterprise production technology, and solve many difficulties faced by the textile printing and dyeing industry.
4.4 attach importance to talent construction
In order to implement the concept of low-carbon economy in the production and sales of textile printing and dyeing enterprises, we must have the support of high-quality talents. As the basic force of enterprise reform and development internally, high-quality talents also represent the image of the enterprise externally. While vigorously investing in new environmental protection equipment and innovative production technology, textile printing and dyeing enterprises should control and supervise the quality of internal employees, regularly organize employee training, improve the core cohesion within the enterprise, and let employees give full play to their value under the concept of low-carbon economy. In addition, enterprises should also provide employees with a unique innovation environment, so that employees can express their ideas and views independently and freely, and show their abilities according to their understanding of low-carbon economy. On this basis, incentive measures can be adopted to encourage employees to actively participate in the construction of the enterprise, enrich the internal culture of the enterprise, and retain talents with rich salaries. In addition, the enterprise should fully tap the potential of employees, regularly provide low-carbon environmental protection skills training for employees, so that they can master the latest low-carbon economic production concept, so as to better adapt to their posts.
4.5 increase support for low carbon emission reduction
(1) For textile printing and dyeing enterprises, the development of low-carbon economic model is not only the road of reform and innovation, but also the inevitable requirement of industry development. Therefore, government departments should increase support for low carbon, energy conservation and emission reduction. First, the government should pay attention to guiding textile printing and dyeing enterprises, encourage them to develop low-carbon technologies and products, and encourage enterprises to actively invest in new technologies and product research and development by launching a series of incentives. Secondly, government departments should give full play to their leading advantages, introduce advanced low-carbon technologies through cooperation with developed countries in low-carbon technology, promote the development of low-carbon economic model in China, and lead China's textile printing and dyeing enterprises to reform towards low-carbon economic model.
(2) The R & D of low-carbon technologies and products requires a lot of funds
support. China's textile printing and dyeing industry is dominated by small and medium-sized enterprises, with low average profits. Therefore, the government departments need to take corresponding measures to help enterprises complete the process of financing and reduce the financing cost of enterprises. For example, for textile enterprises with excellent performance in energy conservation and emission reduction, the government can provide higher credit lines, give appropriate reductions in interest rates, and help enterprises implement low-carbon reform. In recent years, the Green Carbon Fund has been established in many regions of China, with the main purpose of promoting the flow of market funds to forestry carbon sink, afforestation, forest resource protection and other projects. At the same time, it can also promote the establishment of public funds in the low-carbon textile industry, control the flow of funds, improve public awareness of carbon sequestration, and provide financial support for the low-carbon development of the textile printing and dyeing industry.
(3) In the textile printing and dyeing industry, government departments can cooperate with representative enterprises with strong comprehensive strength to carry out pilot actions, formulate a set of perfect low-carbon product certification standards, covering all links of textile printing and dyeing products from raw material production to market consumption, quantify the carbon emission standards in the whole process, so as to facilitate enterprises in the industry to optimize enterprise management in production and sales and meet the established emission reduction standards, Reduce carbon emissions. After the development and maturity of low-carbon product certification standards in relevant industries, it can be in line with the international high-standard low-carbon products, improve the domestic textile printing and dyeing industry standards, and promote the development of low-carbon economy.
4.6 optimize energy structure and improve energy utilization
As China is rich in coal resources, it is difficult to change the current situation of energy consumption in most industries and optimize the energy consumption structure of China's textile industry in a short time.
First, we should control the total consumption of high carbon emission fossil energy dominated by coal and develop clean coal technology. Therefore, we should pay attention to technology research and development, improve the use efficiency of coal based fossil fuels, make the use of fossil fuels cleaner and more efficient, and then achieve the goal of energy conservation and emission reduction.
Secondly, as fossil energy belongs to non renewable energy, in the face of the reduction of non renewable energy, strengthening the development of renewable energy is also a topic of great concern to all mankind, and it is also related to the future survival and development of mankind. Most renewable energy sources such as wind energy, solar energy and hydropower are clean energy. China's untapped renewable energy has great potential. Therefore, strengthening the intelligent development and utilization of clean energy, optimizing the relevant supporting machinery and equipment in the textile industry, realizing the large-scale utilization of clean energy as soon as possible and gradually replacing fossil energy are conducive to promoting the development of low-carbon economy in the textile industry.
Finally, in order to promote the development and utilization of clean energy, it is also very necessary to speed up the operation of China's carbon emission trading market. After the operation of the trading market, the carbon emission quota of textile enterprises will be linked to the energy consumption structure and energy technology of enterprises, which will accelerate the energy conservation and emission reduction of textile enterprises. On the one hand, while optimizing the energy consumption structure, promote textile enterprises to introduce clean fossil energy technologies, reduce carbon emissions, promote transformation and reduce production costs; On the other hand, it can reduce the transaction cost of carbon emission quotas caused by excessive emissions, and even trade the saved quotas, so as to improve the economic benefits of enterprises. This will greatly improve the enthusiasm of textile enterprises to develop low-carbon economy.
5 Conclusion
With the rapid development of low-carbon economy, China's textile printing and dyeing enterprises are facing great pressure for survival, but also an important opportunity for development and reform. If textile printing and dyeing enterprises want to achieve long-term development in the market economy, they can occupy a place in the market only by sizing up the situation, complying with the development trend of national green economy construction, deeply implementing the concept of low-carbon economy in all links and management modes within the enterprise, and relying on technology research and development to create their own brands.
