In the 1960s and 1970s, companies also confessed that their own production and use of products could have an impact on the social environment. Today, paper, food, construction, transportation, and printing and dyeing companies have increasingly recognized and acknowledged It has its own responsibility to avoid environmental pollution. Then, how can the printing and dyeing industry, which is one of the sources of industrial pollution, shoulder the heavy responsibility of sustainable development?
Where is the difficulty in green printing? Not long ago, the Canadian survey company conducted surveys of citizens in 23 countries and found that among the people of 23 countries, it stated that it used the products produced by companies that did not buy polluting environment as the number of people who punished them. It has increased from 20% in 2001 to a rate of 29%. This reflects that once the economic level reaches a certain level, the society will shift from the era of pursuing quantity to the era of pursuing quality, and the expectations and demands for the company will be stricter. Sustainable development is an inevitable choice for the future of printing and dyeing in China. However, according to the current level of economic development and people’s awareness, it is also difficult to develop green printing and dyeing. The main problems are reflected in the following aspects: 1. Development of green printing and dyeing The urgency of understanding the industry is lagging behind. In today's eastern and western regions, where urban and rural consumption levels differ widely, people in the western and rural areas do not yet have sufficient knowledge and ability to pay attention to the quality of textile products. In the aspect of environmental pollution caused by printing and dyeing, there are no unified actions in the governance of countries around the world. Some countries even intentionally transfer industries with serious pollution to foreign countries, making printing and dyeing companies lack a sense of urgency.
2. The problem of excessively high prices for green printing and dyeing products and weak market competition. Green printing and dyeing products must adopt high technology to develop and produce. Their cost is much higher than that of low-quality printing and dyeing products. With the living standards and income levels of most Chinese consumers today, people will buy more low-quality consumer products, making it harder for green printing and dyeing products to compete on price, and it is difficult to open the market.
3. The technical innovation and huge amounts of funds and risks of green printing and dyeing products. Green printing and dyeing is a kind of high technology and requires the injection of huge amounts of money. Printing and dyeing enterprises are mostly privately-owned SMEs, which are obviously lacking in funds. In addition, green printing and dyeing products have a time lag from investment to effectiveness, and it is difficult to recover expectations in the short term. Because of the economic benefits, privately-owned small and medium-sized enterprises are generally reluctant to invest capital and technology, which has brought considerable resistance to the sustainable development of China's printing and dyeing industry.
Developing strategies for the future Based on economic globalization, printing and dyeing companies must participate in the competition in both domestic and foreign markets. Analyze the opportunities and challenges they face. Printing and dyeing companies should focus their attention on the future, and implementing green sustainable development is the only way companies can increase international competition. The key and fundamental of domestic competitiveness. Whether it is pollution prevention or clean production technologies, it will promote the printing and dyeing enterprises to make progress in the direction of sustainable development. However, the green strategy of the printing and dyeing industry cannot be composed of a series of fragmented projects that aim to control or prepare for pollution. To build a sustainable development strategy from the perspective of the future, we must find the position of the printing and dyeing industry in the future society.
A clear and comprehensive green strategy for printing and dyeing not only can guide the industry to continuously strengthen its competitive strength, but also help close the relationship between the company and consumers, upstream and downstream related companies, and the government. Printing and dyeing companies can and must change the current thinking of consumers by providing textile products that are rich in sustainable development, and transform printing and dyeing companies into propagandists and educators of green products, rather than simple merchandisers. Therefore, it is still necessary here to stress that the implementation of a green printing and dyeing strategy should be forward-looking.
Printing and dyeing enterprises should implement environmental management and establish a systematic set of standard and standardized procedures to make environmental management a self-constraint and self-controlled system. The upstream industrial chemical industry, which was closely associated with the printing and dyeing industry, was considered as the “wrecker†of the worst environment ten years ago. Today, it has become one of the industries recognized by the society as dedicating to sustainable development. To set an example for printing and dyeing companies. Printing and dyeing companies can vigorously promote clean production and product liability systems, and strive to implement the IS014000 certification system. In the sustainable development of enterprises, they must strengthen their understanding and practice of clean technologies so as to improve their core competitiveness.
Whether people are willing or not, the rise of a sustainable Chinese printing and dyeing industry has fallen on the shoulders of today's printing and dyeing companies. In order to promote sustainable development, it is necessary to actively carry out international and domestic cooperation. The development of green printing and dyeing is a vast project. It requires not only a large amount of capital, but also a large number of scientific and technical personnel and other support.
China's printing and dyeing industry can also take advantage of favorable conditions such as loans from developed countries and technical assistance, and actively carry out international and domestic cooperation. In the 1990s, scientists from China and Canada once launched a "China-Canadian Cleaner Production Cooperation" project for a chemical company in Anhui Province, which has achieved excellent social and economic benefits. Chinese printing and dyeing enterprises should further strengthen international exchanges in order to obtain various support and assistance.
At the second "Green China" forum, the person in charge of the State Environmental Protection Administration pointed out: Humanity is facing a new transformation of civilization. The fast-growing Chinese economy is facing severe challenges and the green strategy should be thoroughly implemented. The development of circular economy is used to increase the efficiency of the use of resources, the development of cleaner production is used to reduce the pollution costs in the production process, and the development of green consumption is used to reduce the damage to the ecology.
