On November 25, 2017, under the guidance of the China Textile Industry Federation, organized by the China Textile Industry Federation Environmental Protection and Resource Conservation Promotion Committee and the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), and supported by Guangzhou Panyu Gaoxun Dyeing and Finishing Equipment Manufacturing Co., Ltd., the "Water Action in Textile - Water Management Innovation Summit Forum" was held in Guangzhou. More than a hundred representatives of textile and related industry enterprises attended the meeting to engage in communication and dialogue on the important topic of comprehensive utilization of water resources. Gao Yong, Secretary and Secretary General of the Party Committee of the China Textile Industry Federation, Sun Huaibin, Vice President of the China Textile Industry Federation, Yang Donghui, Advisor to the Environmental and Capital Supervision Commission of the China Textile Industry Federation, Guo Fengyuan, Deputy Director of the Energy Conservation Department of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of the People's Republic of China, Zhi Zhi, Executive Deputy Secretary General of the China Industrial Energy Conservation and Clean Production Association, Ren Wenwei, Director of the China Freshwater Project of the World Wildlife Fund Xiao Zhenlin, Chairman of Guangzhou Panyu Gaoxun Dyeing and Finishing Equipment Manufacturing Co., Ltd., and other relevant national departments and industry leaders, industry experts, and representatives of entrepreneurs attended the forum.

     Regarding the focus of this forum discussion, Gao Yong stated that water management is a very important topic. At present, the water discharge of the textile industry ranks second in the entire industrial production and is largely related to printing and dyeing. As the sector with the largest water consumption in the industry, in recent years, the industry has continuously improved printing and dyeing processes, introducing some anhydrous printing and dyeing technologies, including supercritical carbon dioxide printing and dyeing technology. Currently, small batch applications have been achieved, but large-scale production has not yet been achieved. Therefore, the industry has focused on improving existing processes and equipment. Many equipment enterprises represented by Gaoxun Group have successively launched small bath ratio dyeing equipment, The increase from 1:10 to 1:3 reflects the efforts made by industry enterprises in energy conservation and water conservation.

As the Executive Deputy Director of the China Textile Federation Environmental and Resources Commission, Sun Huaibin has been leading this team in promoting the "Water Improvement Action" in the textile industry over the years. At the meeting, he introduced relevant work. In terms of standardization work, relevant standards have been formulated to provide standards and basis for water-saving in industry enterprises, and also promote industry enterprises to increase energy conservation and water-saving work; We have strengthened research on regional water capacity, including Xinjiang, which has high industry attention, and the Yangtze River Economic Belt, which has a high concentration of industries, providing important data support and suggestions for guiding industry transformation and rational layout; Recommend excellent water-saving, process technology, and equipment in the industry; Encourage enterprises to disclose environmental information and promote the establishment of a good image; Utilize publicity and public opinion platforms to promote and report excellent energy-saving experiences in the industry, promote excellent industry experiences and practices, and promote the improvement of water-saving efficiency in the industry.

As an important agenda item of this forum, Sun Huaibin, Vice President of the China Textile Industry Federation, and Xiao Zhenlin, Chairman of Gaoxun Group, signed the "Cooperation Framework for Good Water Action in the Textile Industry". The two sides will work together to continue promoting the industry's good water action.
