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.
The environmental protection in our country is increasing and the restriction degree of the environment to the industrial development is higher and higher. It is the future development direction of the textile industry cluster to speed up the cultivation and form the low carbon green textile industry chain in the whole life cycle.
The transformation and upgrading of textile industrial clusters must adhere to green development, circular development and low-carbon development, integrate local industry and enterprise production reality, unify planning, scientific guidance, further improve cleaner production system, and improve related standards, and strengthen cleaner production audit and performance evaluation, speed up the application of energy-saving equipment and energy-saving technology in all links, improve the energy saving level of the whole industry, break through a number of key common technologies, and develop ecological dyeing and finishing technology with low energy consumption, low water consumption and low pollutant emissions, develop green textile products, and promote ecological design, improve energy efficiency, environmental protection and low carbon level of products, guide green production, build green factories and realize hygiene Intensive, clean and intelligent production process, and build a green supply chain, build a recycling system of textile industry from raw materials, production, marketing, consumption to recycling, improve the green manufacturing level, and create a whole life cycle low-carbon green textile industry chain.
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.
