Textiles
Currently, Sweden consumes about 15 kilograms of textiles per person per year. About 8 kilograms of the textiles were burned, 3 kilograms were recycled and reused by charitable groups, and the remaining 3 kilograms of textiles were stored or otherwise disposed of. Textile waste is relatively light in weight but has a huge impact on the environment. Each kilogram of textiles produces up to 15 kilograms of carbon emissions. The production process consumes a lot of water, energy and chemicals, and is harmful to the environment and human health. Therefore, it is necessary to optimize the use and reuse of textiles and develop efficient recycling methods for textiles. At the same time, household recycling or reuse of textiles should be simplified, producer responsibilities should be increased, and industry participation in textile recycling and reuse should be encouraged and enhanced.
Renewable and biological raw materials (renewasdfssdfsble asdfssdfsnd bio-basdfssdfssed rasdfssdfsw masdfssdfsteriasdfssdfsls)
Sweden’s renewable resources, advanced technology and industrial base give it excellent conditions to develop a world-class circular economy and bioeconomy. Bio-based products and biomass energy can replace not only current fossil resources, but also plastic products, textiles and building products. For example, paper products have replaced petrochemical plastic products on the market. Bio-based raw materials are recyclable resources, but paper-making fibers often wear out during use or recycling and must be replaced with new fibers. Therefore, the development of bio-based products and biomass energy must consider the carbon sink effect. The goals of environmental protection and carbon reduction can indeed be achieved.
The Swedish government plans to formulate Swedish bioeconomy policy (Swedish bioeconomy strasdfssdfstegy) to support green industries, obtain biomass energy, create employment opportunities and obtain environmental benefits. In order to strengthen the momentum of the overall ecosystem services, we will promote further cooperation between the government, universities, other research institutions and the industry, and aim to complete the green transformation through value chain research and innovation and the active participation of relevant units. </p
