Export Volume Of Textile And Garment Enterprises Has Increased Again.

Less than p ago, the European Union banned the import of textile products containing environmental hormones. This is the EU's new regulation, which puts forward stricter requirements for textile labels.

Meanwhile, the EU's recall of textiles to China has soared.

"In the global economic downturn, the EU has strengthened the protection of textile and garment enterprises in the region, especially children's clothing enterprises, which will directly affect Shaoxing's textile and garment export to the EU market."

County Business Bureau official said.

< p > recently, a statistics of China Federation of textile industry has attracted the attention of many textile and garment enterprises in Shaoxing.

The EU REPEX system issued 317 product notified articles to China, an increase of 112.75% over the same period last year, of which 70 of textile and clothing products were announced, representing an increase of 337.5% over the same period last year.

< p > "the European Union's surge in the number of textile and garment products recalled in China, coupled with the new regulations introduced recently, put forward more stringent requirements for textile labels and other aspects, which will directly affect the export of Shaoxing textile enterprises."

The County Business Bureau said that the EU has always been an important textile export market in our county, and is also a high-end market that our county focuses on.

In 2011, the county exported 1603 textile enterprises to Europe, and exported 1 billion 150 million US dollars, accounting for 11.9% of the total export volume of the county.

This year, the European debt crisis continued to impact, from 1 to September, exports to Europe 870 million yuan, down compared with last year.

< p > EU will ban the import of textile products containing environmental hormones. This has made Shaoxing textile enterprises encounter a "hole".

< /p >

< p > it is understood that the environmental hormone problem in textile and clothing has been the focus of attention all over the world.

The EU explicitly prohibits the use of nonylphenol polyoxyethylene ether (NPE) and nonylphenol (NP) in textile production.

The Swedish chemical Administration (NPE) submitted to the European Chemicals authority this year the document "prohibiting the import of EU textiles containing NPE" to the European Chemicals authority, which eventually resulted in the EU's total ban on the sale of textiles containing NPE on the market.

< /p >

< p > it is reported that NPE belongs to endocrine disrupting chemicals and carcinogens. As a surfactant, it is widely used in the textile industry.

In addition, NPE can also be used as a detergent. Once NPE enters the environment, it will quickly decompose into stronger toxic environmental hormones.

< /p >

< p > under the current weak demand of the international market, our county textile enterprises should not abandon the EU market easily because they encounter this "kan" and try every means to deal with them positively.

The County Commerce Bureau suggests that the relevant enterprises pay great attention to the changes and implementation time of the new requirements of the EU, prepare ahead of schedule, strengthen the control of the source of raw materials, adopt clean production technology, replace NPE with eco-friendly surfactants, and abandon the way of washing textiles with water.

"We will also track this incident and pmit relevant information in a timely manner to reduce the negative impact of EU policy adjustment."

County Business Bureau official said.
