How is the current development of the recycled fiber industry? Due to the rapid development of synthetic fiber production technology, abundant source of regenerated fiber raw materials and low cost, synthetic fiber has greatly impacted the market position of regenerated cellulose fiber. Many research institutions and enterprises pay more attention to the development and application of new synthetic fiber.

There are active hydroxyl groups ON THE MOLECULES OF reGENERATED CELLULOSE fibers, so that each link in the production of regenerated cellulose fibers can be grafted and copolymerized with many other molecules, which provides a broad space for the development of various high and new technologies in regenerated cellulose fibers. With the decrease of arable land and the exhaustion of petroleum resources, the output of natural fiber and synthetic fiber will be restricted more and more. In the process of textile consumption, people pay attention to the environmental performance and at the same time, the value of regenerated cellulose fiber has been re-recognized and explored. Nowadays, the application of regenerated cellulose fiber has obtained an unprecedented development opportunity.

At present, more and more industries are paying attention to recycled fiber, such as street stalls, tricycles, indoor furniture and building materials. The total world production of recycled fibre was reported to be 34.6 million tonnes, a decrease of 0.30 per cent compared to recycled fibre. But the yield of regenerated cellulose fiber showed a significant increasing trend.

The demand for recycled green fabric in the recycled fiber market has also increased significantly. Compared with conventional fabric, the price of grey fabric of recycled green fabric is 50% higher and the price of finished fabric is 80% higher. But even at such high prices, the recycled fabric market is still in short supply.

Alliance for a green development of renewable fiber industry (hereinafter referred to as the alliance) released the regenerated cellulose fiber industry green development action plan for three years (hereinafter referred to as the "action plan"), the goal is to the end of 2020, alliance enterprises is "much starker choices-and graver consequences-in" early comprehensive energy consumption of industry average fell by 10%, a 31% drop in fresh water consumption, Total sulfur recovery increased by 7%.

At present, the annual output of global fiber has exceeded 100 million tons. With the continuous growth of fiber supply and the change of consumer consumption concept in recent years, the recycled cellulose fiber is favored by consumers due to its soft and skin-friendly characteristics and natural properties. However, the industry still faces two major sustainable development challenges. One is the source of raw materials, how to ensure the sustainable use of fiber forest resources; The second is how to reduce the use of chemicals and pollutant emissions in production.
