Did you know that shrimps and crabs can be made into clothes instead of being cooked? Shandong Huaxing Textile Co., Ltd. turned this seemingly impossible thing into reality. The pure chitosan biofiber obtained by purifying, dissolving and spinning the marine shrimp and crab shell waste material not only has the functions of natural bacteriostasis, mildew and odor, moisture absorption and quick drying, but also realizes green production.

China's textile industry, once synonymous with processing, is embarking on the road of “China's wisdom” under the impetus of technological innovation. The " Textile Industry Development Plan (2016-2020)" recently issued clearly clarifies that technological innovation is still the main line of future industry development. During the " 13th Five-Year Plan" period, the number of invention patents granted by the textile industry will increase by 15% annually.

At the recently held China Textile Industry 2015 Innovative People and the “Twelfth Five-Year” Innovative Characters Award Ceremony, industry experts and entrepreneurs have heated discussions on how to transform and innovate in the textile industry.

Gao Yong, secretary-general of the China National Textile and Apparel Council, said at the ceremony that the textile industry is currently facing fierce competition and the pressure to climb the slope. Adhering to technological innovation to lead industry innovation is not only a concrete measure to promote structural reforms on the supply side, but also a fundamental way to achieve the goal of a textile power.

The new Fabric technology makes the garment more comfortable and beautiful, and the intelligent textile machinery equipment improves production efficiency... Looking around, the new technology is reshaping the textile industry, bringing changes to the traditional production methods and lifestyles.

Whether textile and apparel products can open up new markets and play a vital role as the fiber of upstream raw materials. Hu Guangmin, chairman of Huaxing Textile, said that it took 10 years from the first silk to the production. Not only has it broken through a series of core technologies, but it has also taken the lead in industrialization on a global scale. In the future, new fiber will be applied to more fields to create a health industry chain covering clothing home textiles, protective filter materials and medical dressings.

If the innovation of raw materials opens up a "new window" for industrial development, then the innovation of manufacturing links will increase production efficiency and reduce corporate pressure.

At a time when the global growth of the textile industry is weak, Jiangsu Jinlun Card Clothing Co., Ltd. has carried out technological innovation on the textile machine covering material, which not only makes the user's spinning output increase by about 30%, but also brings considerable profits to the enterprise. Huang Chunhui, chairman of Golden Wheels, said that the sales revenue of 475 million yuan last year has increased the global market share to more than 25%.

According to data from the China National Textile and Apparel Council, technological advancement has driven the industry's labor productivity to increase by about 60% from the end of the 11th Five-Year Plan.

In addition, the application of information technology in the textile industry also promotes the transformation of production mode into flexibility, intelligence and refinement, and usher in new opportunities.

“Technological innovations in product development, creative design, manufacturing and other aspects are driving the textile industry to create a new manufacturing system, releasing greater potential, improving quality and efficiency and moving towards the mid-to-high end.” Gao Yong said that during the “13th Five-Year Plan” period, Performance fiber and bio-based fiber are expected to reach the international advanced level as a whole, and the complete set of intelligent textile technology and equipment will realize industrial application. Intelligent manufacturing has become an important force to promote the transformation and upgrading of the textile industry.
