As the Textile Industry Quality and Upgrade Implementation Plan (2023–2025) jointly issued by four departments enters its final stage, it sets targets for 2025: R&D investment intensity of above-scale textile enterprises to reach 1.3%, 70% of enterprises to achieve digitalization/networking, and a 30% recycling rate for waste textiles. The plan emphasizes applications of new materials like bio-based fibers and high-performance fibers, and promotes green transformation of the printing and dyeing industry.
