The word "function" originates from Japan, so it is understandable that functional textiles began in various chemical fiber factories in Japan. In the early days, it was emphasized that new materials produce new functions, often first with relevant fiber function technologies, and then looking for new functional applications. What is the "functionality" of textiles? The most incisive "functional" design is multi-faceted. Functions are related to people themselves and their living environment, including comfortable and healthy functions, leisure and sports functions, safety and protection functions. Contains medical and physiological functions.

Suddenly, everyone was eager to get on the green train. But with sober thinking, perhaps our best practices are just around the corner: eco-friendly fabrics, local manufacturing, and gentle and natural processing. This article will start from three directions: ecological man-made fibers, yarn built-in component addition technology, and environmental protection post-processing, and take stock of the natural resources that can be used in the textile industry.

Carbon neutrality, inflation, and rising energy costs will speed up the restructuring of the textile fiber supply chain. Suppliers with vertically consistent factories and green products are expected to win.
