Recently learned that the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Ministry of Science and Technology, the Chinese Academy of Sciences and other departments are jointly promoting the implementation of "macro-materials major project implementation plan", "bio-based chemical fiber and raw material implementation plan."

Duan Xiaoping, president of the China Chemical Fiber Industry Association, said that bio-based chemical fiber and its raw materials are important components of China's bio-manufacturing industry, with green, environmentally friendly, renewable raw materials, and biodegradable and other excellent features, which will help solve the current global economy Resources and energy shortages faced by development, as well as environmental pollution and other issues. The vigorous development of bio-based chemical fibers and their raw materials is a requirement for the sustainable development of the chemical fiber industry and the realization of a low-carbon economy. It is necessary to cultivate and develop strategic emerging industries, realize strategies for strengthening the country's textile and fiber industries, and improve the people’s healthy living standards, in order to replace fossil resources, It is of great significance to develop a recycling economy and build a resource-saving and environment-friendly society.

The chemical fiber industry should take bio-based chemical fiber and its major engineering projects as the breakthrough point for the industry, with the “three alternatives” (material substitution, process substitution, product substitution) and “three combinations” (combined with the bio-chemical industry and energy conservation The combination of environmental protection and waste utilization, combined with function improvement and promotion and application) and “three priorities” (focusing on the production and application of biological diols, focusing on the preparation of polylactic acid fiber raw materials and fiber application technologies, and focusing on capturing marine organisms Diversified base fiber materials and large-scale production technologies are the major tasks for the current development of bio-based chemical fiber, development of non-food bio-based raw materials and new-type bio-based chemical fibers that replace petroleum resources, and breakthroughs in green processing and new processes and equipment for bio-based fibers. Integrate technology to realize industrialized production; open up bio-based chemical fiber application fields, promote industrial chain leapfrogging and sustainable development, and achieve significant economic and social benefits.

Wang Yuping, secretary-general of the China Chemical Fiber Industry Association, said that vigorously developing bio-based fibers will bring about profound changes in the related technologies, processes, equipment, talents and business models of the textile and chemical fiber industry. The bio-based fiber industry will give the textile industry flourishing prospects and potential for inexhaustible room for improvement.

China's bio-based chemical fiber is about to enter a period of rapid growth under the new circumstances of national policy encouragement, special support, business investment, and association promotion. The 30-year roadmap for China's bio-fiber and bio-based raw material technology and industry development previously announced by the China Chemical Fibre Industry Association proposes that by 2015, China's bio-based fiber and bio-chemical feedstock production is expected to reach 5.1 million tons, an average annual increase of 17%. . Among them, bio-based elastic polyester fiber will reach 150,000 tons, alginate fiber will reach 10,000 tons, and corn fiber will reach 50,000 tons. The industrial chain extends upstream and downstream to realize raw material substitution, process substitution and product substitution, broadening the downstream application fields, and achieving a sound economic and social development.
