Straw fiber is expected to make clothes

At the high-level forum on climate change and low-carbon textiles recently held, many experts believe that with the development of new technologies, perhaps after five years, we can wear low-carbon clothes made from straw and other refined silk.

In the context of climate change, the processing of textiles using bio-refined fibers not only saves energy, but also reduces carbon dioxide emissions. Experts at the forum said that an ordinary large-size men's white T-shirt, if produced by traditional methods, emits 6.5 kilograms of carbon dioxide; if biomass materials are used, carbon dioxide emissions will only be 1/10 of the original. It is understood that domestic experts are trying to extract fiber from straw and other agricultural wastes and the pollen that cause water pollution. The foreign straw pretreatment and extraction technology is now mature. A pilot plant has been built. China expects to make breakthroughs in five years. After 10 years of industrialization.
