| 摘要 | The Resource Circulation Administration of the Ministry of Environment actively promotes the circulation of textile resources, recently formulating the "Directions for Circulation of Textile Products for Chain Brands in the Apparel Industry and Clothing Retail Industry" (連鎖品牌服飾業及百貨零售業紡織品循環指引). Businesses in the brand apparel industry and department store retail industry were invited to join the "Sustainable Fashion Alliance" to enhance the sustainable circulation of textile products, and improve resource use efficiency and reduce waste. |
| 全文 | The textile industry is one of the largest industries in the world. A survey conducted by McKinsey & Company indicated that the fashion industry emitted approximately 2.1 billion tons of greenhouse gases in 2018, accounting for approximately 4% of the global total. The European Union proposed the "2030 Strategy for Sustainable and Circular Textiles" in 2022, requiring producers to introduce green textile design and assume recycling and reuse responsibilities in textile resource circulation chains. In addition, the Textile Exchange proposed the goal of reducing greenhouse gases generated by textile fiber and material processes by 45% by 2030, urging major international brands to adopt textile circulation and use of recycled materials. The Resource Circulation Administration said that in March 2011, Taiwan announced the "General Descriptions of Taiwan's 2050 Net-Zero Emissions Roadmap and Strategy" (臺灣2050淨零排放路徑及策略總說明) and proposed 12 key strategies to reach the net-zero transition goal. Strategy number 8, "Resource recycling and zero waste", of which the Resource Circulation Administration is in charge, includes textiles as one of ten key items. Guidelines were developed for the aspects of production, use, recycling and circulation, aimed at connecting Taiwan's textile industry supply chains and schools, building a textile fiber-to-fiber cycle, and reducing the generation of textile wastes and their impacts on the environment. According to the guidelines set by the Resource Circulation Administration, the brand apparel industry can design clothing made of single or recycled materials, provide clothing repair or recycling services, and set up second-hand clothing specialty areas for reverse recycling and circulation of brand name clothing. In addition, the clothing retail industry may set up used clothing recycling services in their shops, provide discounts or points for events promoting used clothing recycling, and provide multiple recycling channels for used clothing based on the established guidelines. This will not only encourage consumers to purchase more circular textiles, but also facilitate the recycling and circulation of textiles. The Resource Circulation Administration calls on government agencies, schools and private businesses to participate in procurement of circular textiles. One example is the buying of uniforms or special event clothing that has environmentally friendly design and consists of at least 90% of a single material, according to the "Directions for Textile Product Circulation for the Chain Brand Apparel Industry and Retail Industry". Another example is requiring clothing suppliers to provide recycling, repair and warranty services in purchase contracts in order to achieve better recycling, circulation and reuse of textile products. |
