Jacquard fabric is a type of knitted fabric that is characterized by intricate patterns and designs that are woven directly into the fabric. This type of fabric is created using a Jacquard loom, which is a special type of loom that is designed to create complex patterns and designs. Jacquard fabrics can be made from a variety of different fibers, including silk, cotton, wool, and synthetic fibers. These fabrics are commonly used for upholstery, curtains, and clothing, and are known for their durability and high-quality appearance. Jacquard fabrics are often more expensive than other types of fabrics due to the intricate weaving process required to create them.

Enterprises to do long-term low-carbon planning
In the post-economic crisis era, the European Union has introduced the concept of a "carbon footprint tax" on imported products. Several Nordic countries, including Denmark, the Netherlands, Finland, Sweden, and Norway, have already implemented carbon or energy taxes. France is also considering imposing carbon tariffs. As one of China’s major production bases for leisure menswear, children's wear, and sportswear, Quanzhou is facing significant challenges due to its large industrial scale, long supply chain, and high employment levels. The impact of “carbon tariffs†could be even more severe.
To address these challenges, industry leaders and experts gathered to discuss how Quanzhou-based enterprises can navigate invisible trade barriers such as “carbon labels†and “carbon tariffs.†Experts like Wang Yingli, deputy general manager of Shishi Hongtai Textile Co., Ltd., Cai Jinxu, and Zhuang Baozhong from Fujian Baode Group shared their insights on strategies to adapt to the evolving low-carbon landscape.
Wang Yingli emphasized the importance of data collection in measuring a product’s carbon footprint. She pointed out that as low-carbon development becomes more mainstream, pollution and emissions are now critical bottlenecks for the textile industry. Companies must proactively understand and prepare for carbon-related trade barriers to avoid disruptions in exports. For example, a 400-gram polyester pair of trousers may emit 47 kilograms of CO₂ over two years due to washing, drying, and ironing. This highlights the need for the industry to shift from focusing solely on traditional pollution control to a broader climate perspective.
She also noted that China’s textile industry still lags behind foreign counterparts in low-carbon technology. While energy efficiency and emission reduction are now considered standard practices, many companies lack comprehensive strategies. Some focus only on energy consumption without addressing the full lifecycle of their products. In some cases, projects are managed externally, leading to short-term results rather than sustainable improvements.
With exports making up a large portion of the Chinese textile industry, it’s crucial for companies to meet the carbon content requirements set by European and American markets. Without proper carbon footprint data, products may fail to meet international standards. To stay competitive, companies must invest in carbon footprint assessments, including process monitoring and labeling to show environmental impact.
Cai Jinxu, from Shishi Hongtai Textile, highlighted the importance of quantifying carbon costs for corporate development. He explained that while international standards for carbon footprints are still being developed, China is taking steps to refine indicators related to raw materials, production, and consumption. This will benefit companies that prioritize energy-saving and emission-reduction efforts.
He also pointed out that while foreign countries are trying to quantify carbon costs, they often focus on broad categories rather than detailed production processes. For the textile industry, understanding the carbon emissions at every stage—from cotton farming to clothing production—is essential. Once standardized, these metrics could help high-tech companies gain a competitive edge, while less efficient ones may face challenges.
Zhuang Baozhong, from Fujian Baode Group, stressed that energy saving and emission reduction are not just environmental goals but also key to corporate profits. He noted that many companies lack the technical capabilities to measure and reduce their carbon footprint effectively. This includes both hardware equipment and monitoring systems, which are still underdeveloped compared to those in advanced economies.
He argued that as low-carbon policies evolve from concepts to systems, companies must act early. For textile firms, especially those involved in raw material processing, energy efficiency is critical. By optimizing resources and reducing energy costs, companies can increase profitability and ensure long-term sustainability.
Overall, the discussion underscored the urgent need for the textile industry to embrace low-carbon practices, not only to comply with global standards but also to remain competitive in an increasingly eco-conscious market.
