Early realization of carbon peaking and carbon neutrality has become one of the important goals of the 14th Five-Year Plan. The shoe industry realizes low-carbon (zero-carbon) emission, recyclable and degradable technological innovation from the raw material side, and optimizes the energy structure and industrial structure, which will be the only way to ensure the sustainable development of the industry and promote the effective transformation of circular economy.

Sponsored by the Jinjiang Municipal Government, jointly organized by the Jinjiang Municipal Bureau of Industry and Information Technology and the Jinjiang Economic Development Zone Management Committee, the shoe material low-carbon circular economy exchange forum and the shoe material centralized procurement supply and demand matchmaking meeting were held in our city a few days ago. Industry elites and entrepreneurs from Quanzhou, Guangdong, Zhejiang, Sichuan, Putian, Taiwan and other places focused on the theme of global green economic development and put forward their own suggestions for the green development of Quanzhou's characteristic shoe industry. According to the industry, Quanzhou is upgrading the green innovation common industrial park project of the shoe industry.

Shoe companies jointly "love the earth"

At present, Jinjiang has 152 regulated shoe-making enterprises, with a regulated output value of 147.7 billion yuan last year. The footwear industry has become one of the most mature industrial clusters in Jinjiang. The relevant person in charge of the Jinjiang Municipal Government said that the green upgrade cannot be avoided by breaking through the upgrade path, and the "double carbon" goal is in the front. Production and sales and thus drive the transformation and innovation of shoe materials, and gradually form a large-scale shoe materials industry cluster. It is hoped that in the future, a normal, efficient and clustered supply chain docking platform will be established through intelligent and information-based means, and the circulation cost of enterprises will be reduced through the centralized supply and demand mode, and the green innovation, scientific and technological research and development capabilities of the footwear industry will be continuously improved. core competitiveness.

"In recent years, starting from the concept of 'caring for the earth', the company has continuously invested in the innovative development of low-carbon and environmentally friendly shoe materials." Lin Jiannan, chairman of Formosa Plastics, shared through a video link that the company has successfully developed and transformed waste oyster shells into It is a natural antibacterial material, made of shoe material with antibacterial effect. Such shoe materials that have a positive impact on the environment are constantly being recognized by the market, and we look forward to working with more high-quality shoe companies to "love the earth" in the future. In addition to Formosa Plastics, industry leaders such as Lin Qinzhou, Chairman of Huizhou Li Changrong Chemical Industry Co., Ltd., and Dou Zheng, Vice President of Covestro Polymers, also brought their respective research and development results of recycled materials in the source of shoe materials and manufacturing links. "Sustainable development and innovation are interdependent. In the future, we hope to use green electricity and alternative raw materials to achieve production without relying on fossil resources, and achieve net zero emissions by 2035." Dou Zheng said. It is reported that both Huizhou Li Changrong and Covestro have established in-depth cooperative relations with the Silan Yipinjia platform, and have made every effort to promote the continuous implementation of low-carbon circular economy solutions for all shoes from the latitude of innovative research and development of shoe materials.

In addition to the "green voice" from the manufacturing industry, Professor Chen Zhiyong, Chief Technical Operations Officer of Fujian Guangjie New Materials Research Institute Co., Ltd., Dr. Xu Wencheng and others also shared the current "double carbon" from the research and development level to nearly 100 footwear industry leaders. The necessity and urgency of industrial green transformation under the background. "Climate anomalies are already in progress, not in the future." Chen Zhiyong mentioned that circular economy is what you throw at me to achieve zero emissions. The global annual output of sports shoes is about 7.74 billion pairs, and shoes have more than 80% impact on environmental warming in the production of raw materials, and emit 700 million tons of carbon dioxide annually. "Green transition is imperative. In the future, sports shoes can be made of carbon dioxide, and 'CO2' can be fixed on sports shoes through a series of processes. Circular economy, energy-saving manufacturing, high-performance foam materials, etc. will all be sports shoes. A positive trend for future development," he said.

Communicate and reach a consensus and release the plan of the eco-industrial park

On the same day, relevant leaders and technical elites of domestic and foreign brand enterprises such as Anta, Xtep, Zhongqiao, Lilang, Peak, and Hongxing Erke all attended the forum and participated in the supply and demand docking. In view of the current common needs of industrial upgrading, in order to further implement the "Guiding Opinions of the Fujian Provincial People's Government on Implementing the Standardization Construction of Industrial (Industrial) Parks to Promote the High-quality Development of the Manufacturing Industry", as an import and export business in more than 120 countries and regions around the world The upstream enterprise of the shoe material supply chain, Silan Group took the lead in launching the 605-mu industrial park upgrade planning project under the guidance of Quanzhou and Jinjiang governments.

"As the largest shoe leather manufacturing base in the country, Quanzhou Industry has the responsibility and necessity to build a green industrial park platform that integrates green technology research and development, financial benchmarking services, centralized procurement and circulation of shoe materials, design innovation, and digital intelligent manufacturing. ” said Zhuang Weixiong, vice chairman of Silan Group. The park plans to provide centralized procurement services for raw and auxiliary materials, research on environmentally friendly new materials, sustainable manufacturing development, fashion development research, big data services, supply chain financial services, hazardous chemical logistics sharing, full-link flexible digital tool application and shoe leather industry smart community. Operation and other 9 major central functions have assembled high-quality resources from Tsinghua University, Guangjie Research Institute, Chuangsheng Group, Industrial Bank and other fields.

"At present, most of the construction of several major centers has been completed." Zhuang Weixiong said, "We look forward to building the industrial park into a national benchmark industrial park for the footwear and apparel industry that integrates technological innovation, high-end intelligent manufacturing, and ecological living."
