CNWith the continuous improvement of global environmental awareness, all walks of life are actively seeking a path to sustainable development, and the textile industry is no exception. As an important part of textile products, the impact of the production process of pure cotton socks on the environment has received increasing attention.
1. Raw material collection stage
The main raw material of pure cotton socks is cotton. In the process of cotton planting, a large amount of fertilizers and pesticides are used to increase yields and prevent pests and diseases, which leads to soil pollution and water pollution. Excessive use of fertilizers can lead to soil acidification and salinization, affecting the ecological balance of the soil; and pesticide residues may enter the human body through the food chain and endanger health. In addition, cotton planting also consumes a lot of water resources, especially in arid and semi-arid areas, which aggravates the tension of water resources.
2. Production and processing stage
In the production and processing of pure cotton socks, there are mainly the following environmental problems:
Energy consumption: The operation of textile machinery requires a lot of electricity and heat energy, which leads to increased energy consumption and increased carbon emissions.
Water resource utilization: dyeing and printing processes require a large amount of water resources, and the wastewater generated will cause serious pollution to the water body if it is discharged directly without treatment. Wastewater contains harmful substances such as dyes and auxiliaries, which pose a threat to aquatic life and human health.
Use of chemicals: In the dyeing and printing process, various chemical dyes and auxiliaries are needed. These chemicals may evaporate into the air during use, causing air pollution; at the same time, they are also the main source of pollutants in wastewater.
3. Waste treatment stage
The waste generated in the production process of pure cotton socks includes waste yarn, waste cloth, wastewater treatment sludge, etc. If these wastes are not properly handled, they will cause secondary pollution to the environment. For example, if waste yarn and waste cloth are discarded or incinerated at will, harmful gases and particulate matter will be generated; if wastewater treatment sludge is directly discharged or landfilled without treatment, it will cause pollution to the soil and groundwater.
IV. Improvement measures
In order to reduce the impact of pure cotton socks production on the environment, we can start from the following aspects:
Promote ecological planting: Encourage cotton farmers to adopt ecological planting technology, reduce the use of fertilizers and pesticides, and protect the ecological environment of soil and water bodies.
Improve resource utilization efficiency: Use advanced energy-saving technologies and equipment in the production process to reduce energy consumption; at the same time, optimize the production process and improve the efficiency of water resource utilization.
Use environmentally friendly dyes and auxiliaries: Promote the use of environmentally friendly dyes and auxiliaries to reduce the emission of harmful substances; at the same time, strengthen the research and development and application of wastewater treatment technology to ensure that wastewater meets the discharge standards.
Strengthen waste management: Establish a complete waste management system and recycling system, classify, collect, treat and utilize the waste generated in the production process; encourage enterprises to carry out research and application of waste resource utilization technology.
The production of pure cotton socks has many impacts on the environment. With the continuous improvement of environmental awareness and the popularization of the concept of sustainable development, the textile industry needs to continuously explore and innovate environmentally friendly production technologies and management models to reduce the impact on the environment and promote the sustainable development of the industry.
