“…Once the benchmarks were determined, the differences between the production line itself and the international advanced values could be estimated using a Best Available Technology (BAT). In accordance with the research of the European Union and the American Institute, the two levels of best available energy consumption in coated paperboard production are 7.78 GJ/t and 5.57 GJ/t, respectively (Kinatrey et al 2006;Kocabas et al 2009). …”

Paper mills consume a large amount of energy, which is an important factor restricting their sustainable development. Benchmarking is a critical method for discovering the energy-savings potential of mills. To address problems such as the absence of indicators for energy efficiency benchmarking, the influence of different basis weights on energy efficiency levels and on the estimation of energy-saving potential, this paper makes use of production line-based and process-based benchmarking in coated paperboard production. The indicator system is constructed to collect data and quantify the energy efficiency. K-means clustering is used to classify the basis weight and energy efficiency data for seven months and obtain the benchmark values. The results showed that the specific energy consumption (SEC) decreased with the increase in basis weight. An analysis of production line-based benchmarking for a paper mill in China indicated that energy efficiency reached the level of 5.92 to 6.94 GJ/t, which was 10.8 to 23.91% lower compared with the European Union best available energy level (7.78 GJ/t) and 6.28 to 24.6% higher compared with the energy consumption of American paper products integrated production units (5.57 GJ/t). These energy-saving measures should be taken into account in order to raise the energy efficiency in paper mills.

Abstract:Energy is the essential input for operations along the industrial manufacturing chain of textiles. China's textile industry is facing great pressure on energy consumption reduction. This paper presents an analysis of the energy footprint (EFP) of China's textile industry from 1991 to 2015. The relationship between EFP and economic growth in the textile industry was investigated with a decoupling index approach. The logarithmic mean Divisia index approach was applied for decomposition analysis on how changes in key factors influenced the EFP of China's textile industry. Results showed that the EFP of China's textile industry increased from 41.1 Mt in 1991 to 99.6 Mt in 2015. EFP increased fastest in the period of 1996-2007, with an average annual increasing rate of 7.7 percent, especially from 2001 to 2007 (8.5 percent). Manufacture of textile sector consumed most (from 58 percent to 76 percent) of the energy among the three sub-sectors, as it has lots of energy-intensive procedures. EFP and economic growth were in a relative decoupling state for most years of the researched period. Their relationship showed a clear tendency toward decoupling. Industrial scale was the most important factor that led to the increase of EFP, while decreasing energy intensity contributed significantly to reducing the EFP. The promoting effect of the factors was larger than the inhibiting effect on EFP in most years from 1991 to 2015.

“…It has a heterogeneous structure with complex production chains and many different sub-sectors [5]. The textile industry is also known for its intensive resource usage in complex production processes [6] and high quantity of chemical consumption, especially in dyeing and finishing processes [7]. Specific consumption can vary depending on fibre type and applied technologies in textile production processes [8].…”

Textiles that consume as few resources as possible, concerning both material use as well as energy needs, play an emerging role in sustainable interior design. As the textile industry works toward sustainability, the principle factors that have been addressed are related to ethical issues in production systems and ecomaterials. However, the majority of modern business models are mainly concerned with large production and sales volume. Furthermore, energy and resource consumption have increased to levels that reduce the benefits of technological development. Significant changes are needed in order to reach systematic transformations in production and consumption. This article discusses sustainable textile materials as a part of sustainability in interior design.
