With the rapid development of wearable devices, intelligent garment has gradually entered the line of sight. While it do not popular at present, more companies are experimenting with the concept of smart clothing.
Intelligent garment is a combination of textiles and electronics that can put sensors into clothing fabrics, which can transmit body signals to a back-end platform that translates into information you and I can understand, such as blood pressure, body temperature, and so on.
Under the tuyere of Internet sports, 361 °, as a leading water tester, has attracted much attention in the field of smart wearable ecology. And recently in 2019 ISPO global design award (ISPO Award), 361 °warm No.1 cotton clothing won the ISPO global design gold medal, which is the ISPO Award health and comfort category of the only gold medal in China.
Nanollose, based in Australia, has developed the world's first cellulosic fiber garment made from biomass waste through microbial transformation.
Viscose fiber can be made of cellulose materials such as wood fiber (birch, beech, pine, etc.), cotton fiber (cotton staple), gramineous fabric fiber (bamboo, Reed, corn pole, etc.), but in practical production, it is mainly from the high yield, a wide range of wood pulp as raw materials. Since deforestation may affect the environment, many factories have established their own forest farms and passed FSC certification, making their own sources of materials more sustainable.
In the production of viscose, a large amount of chemical raw materials, such as caustic soda, carbon disulfide, sulfuric acid and so on, need to be used, and the recovery effect of these chemical raw materials is poor, which will cause great pollution to the environment.
Nullabor, a non-wood fiber developed by Nanollose, is a good solution to two pain points in viscose fiber production. Nullabor is a by-product derived from microbes, and microorganisms waste biomass, such as coconut waste. By fermenting the cellulose (the chemical composition is similar to cotton), Nanollose then uses its own technology to convert the cellulose into viscose fiber, which is well compatible with existing industrial processing and manufacturing equipment. The whole process takes only 18 days, and the need for land, water and energy is small.
In 2018, cotton production in Xinjiang reached a new record of 5.111 million tons, up 11.9 percent from 2017, accounting for 83.8 percent of the country's total and 9.8 percent more than the same period last year.
The yield got a new record, thanks first to the further expansion of the planting area. In 2018, the sowing area of cotton in Xinjiang reaches 37.37 million mu, with an increase of 12.4 acres over the same period last year. Xinjiang cotton total yield, unit yield, planting area, commodity allocation for 24 consecutive years ranked first in the country.
In addition, Xinjiang has implemented a series of measures to support the development of cotton and related industries. In recent years, full-range mechanization in Xinjiang cotton fields have been a wide range of promotion. Statistics from the Agricultural and Rural Department of the Autonomous region show that more than 80% of cotton fields in northern Xinjiang have been mechanized throughout the process, and the mechanization rate in southern Xinjiang is close to 20%.
