Nirvana Rebirth

The Wonderful Magic Journey of "Ugly Bottle"

At the conference, the short video "A Bottle's Rebirth Journey to Nirvana" vividly demonstrated the value and role of a trusted platform for green fiber products, and also showed that China's textile and chemical fiber industry is actively promoting green and low-carbon transformation and development.

The protagonist of the short video is an "ugly little bottle". It is a plastic bottle abandoned by humans, drifting day and night at sea, and the original end of life can only be polluted marine garbage. However, a magnificent global transformation has completely changed the fate of the "Ugly Bottle".

One day, it was salvaged, and embarked on a special journey of rebirth. What gives the "Ugly Bottle" a journey of rebirth is a trusted platform for green fiber products. From a professional perspective, the platform is to build China's own transparent, traceable, and reliable Industrial Internet platform through the National Industrial Internet identification secondary node analysis technology, blockchain technology, supply chain information traceability system, and other information means. Next, let's take a look at the rebirth process of the "Ugly Bottle".

Specifically, the magical journey of "Ugly Bottle" is divided into five steps, Here we use its first-person perspective to reproduce wonderful videos: Step 1: Bottle slices. After my friends and I were sorted, thoroughly bathed, disinfected, and subjected to a rigorous screening process, we were made into bottle slices. We were awarded the first traceability code. Step 2: Slice. We went through melting and refining and were made into broken slices the size of rice grains, obtaining the second traceability code. Step 3: Spinning. We boarded the truck and arrived at the fiber-spinning workshop. Here, we Processed them into fibers and were given a new name - recycled polyester fibers. In this way, we obtained the third traceability code. Step 4: Fabric. We, who were spun into yarn, came to weaving enterprises and were made into various exquisite fabrics. Then, we were given the fourth traceability code. Step 5: Textile products. We were sent to different factories and transformed into sportswear, sneakers, fashion clothing, curtains, carpets, home textiles, luggage, etc. After completing the magnificent transformation, we obtained the last traceability code and went to the market

The core value of a trustworthy platform is to generate proof of ancestry through five traceability codes, making every step of the "ugly bottle" rebirth transparent and traceable, and allowing green fiber products to have their own "ID card" that is trustworthy. Especially, it should be pointed out that the "Technical Requirements for Green Fiber Evaluation" and "Ecological Technical Requirements for Recycling and Reusing of Polyester" have limited the amount of substances in recycled polyester, and the indicators are higher than the relevant provisions of the "Technical Requirements for Ecological Textiles", which can be used with confidence. Green fiber products not only have good quality and environmental protection, but also increase breathability, coolness, moisture absorption, sweat-wicking, quick-drying, UV resistance, bright colors, and nonfading properties. They have been favored by consumers, especially environmentalists.

The standard setting is the pinnacle of industry competition, and whoever masters the standards has the say in the industry. In terms of future development, the goal of the trusted platform for green fiber products is to become an international first-class certification platform. While maintaining the order of the green fiber and textile market, it aims to make Chinese certification recognized by the world and help Chinese green fiber products enjoy a world-renowned reputation.
