Less than p ago, statistics from the China Resources Comprehensive Utilization Association showed that in 2011, China's textile production reached 43 million tons, while the old clothes thrown away were about 26 million tons.

A survey of Hebei residents in 2009 by the textile and Clothing Institute of Hebei University Of Science and Technology showed that nearly half of the households stored more than 30 large and old clothes, and each family had to purchase more than 10 pieces of "a href=" //m.pmae.cn/news/index_c.asp "new clothes" /a per year.

In 2012, about 200 billion yuan worth of old clothes were eliminated.

< p > it is understood that there are mainly two channels for the recycling of old clothes in China: private recycling and Internet recycling.

Driven by interests, private recycled clothes are often processed into the market simply. Due to lack of supervision, the health problems of old clothes entering the market are worrying.

And network recovery is more scale than private recovery.

China's old clothes net gathered many old clothes recycling factories together through registration, forming a relatively large formal system.

At present, 1500 old garment recycling enterprises with different sizes are registered on the old clothes online in China.

Here, there is a flourishing scene in the sale of old clothes.

These old clothes were recovered and pported to poverty-stricken areas such as Africa after being processed.

< p > for fear that the old clothes market will hinder the development of local a href= "//m.pmae.cn/news/index_c.asp" > garment textile industry < /a >, some African countries are prohibited from importing old garments.

In addition to the local restrictions in Africa, China's exports of old clothes have also been impacted by other countries. Currently, the export of old clothes to Africa is mainly the United States, Britain, Holland, Japan and South Korea.

The United States exports more than 70% of the old clothing market in Africa, followed by countries such as Japan and South Korea.

Even more importantly, the head of the enterprises engaged in the recycling of old clothes is troubled by the fact that the state has not established relevant laws and regulations concerning the export of second-hand clothing at the same time when the State prohibits the import of old clothes in the market.

There is a demand, a market, an industrial chain, but there is no relevant regulations and perfect management, and no industry name.

< /p >

< p > in fact, the normal < a href= "//m.pmae.cn/news/index_c.asp" > old clothes < /a > sales are not as bad as people imagine, but the old clothes with poor color can be used for the two time, for example, after fibrosis treatment is used as industrial raw materials.

In recent years, relevant departments in China are also actively drawing up policies to pay attention to it.

In December 2011, the NDRC "12th Five-Year" comprehensive utilization of resources guidance points clearly pointed out: "establish waste textile recycling system, carry out R & D of common key technologies of comprehensive utilization of waste textiles, expand the market of recycled textiles, and initially form an industrial chain for recycling, classification, processing and utilization."

In November 2012, sponsored by China Resources Comprehensive Utilization Association, 28 enterprises, universities and research institutes jointly organized a strategic alliance of technology innovation for the comprehensive utilization of waste textiles.

In January this year, the Ministry of housing issued a new industry standard to include waste clothing and bedding in the category of recyclable materials, and regulate the channel of "fabric" into recycling.

In P's view, the biggest problem that restricts the export market of China's old clothes is the legitimacy.

In the United States, Japan, the United Kingdom, Brazil, India and other countries to support it as an environmental protection industry, not only old clothing raw materials recycling free, and even subsidies.

< p > > therefore, the author suggests that enterprises and institutions that are standardized and committed to the reuse of old clothes should give corresponding support to policies and a bright future for the industry of "old clothes recycling".
