В рамках уникальной инновации, прокладывающей путь к устойчивой моде, исследователи при поддержке H&M разработали технологию обработки хлопчатобумажной одежды, которая улавливает парниковые газы из воздуха. As part of a unique innovation that paves the way for sustainable fashion, researchers with the support of H&M have developed a processing technology for cotton clothing that captures greenhouse gases from the air. As part of a pilot project, restaurant staff in Stockholm are now wearing aprons made of wool.
The Hong Kong Textile and Apparel Research Institute (HKRITA) has developed an amine-containing solution that processes cotton by attracting carbon dioxide to the cotton and trapping it.
Edwin Keh, HKRITA’s chief executive, told Reuters that his team was inspired by technology that limits smokestack emissions from coal-fired power plants.
“Many power plants have to remove as much carbon dioxide from the air as possible before releasing exhaust gases,” Keh told Reuters. “We thought: why don’t we try to reproduce this chemical process on cotton fiber?”
A T-shirt can absorb about one-third of the energy that a tree absorbs each day, according to Kech. “The (capture) capabilities are not very high, but they are quite cheap and easy to manufacture, and we think there are many potential applications.”
The aprons in the pilot were produced at a H&M supplier in Indonesia, using the factory’s existing equipment for the treatment, Keh said.

По словам Кеха, фартуки в пилотном проекте были изготовлены у поставщика H&M в Индонезии с использованием имеющегося на заводе оборудования для обработки. According to Keh, the aprons in the pilot project were made at a H&M supplier in Indonesia using the factory’s processing equipment. Keh 说，试点中的围裙是在印度尼西亚的一家H&M 供应商处生产的，使用工厂现有的处理设备。 H&M 供应商处生产的，使用工厂现有的处理设备。 Кех сказал, что фартуки для пилота были изготовлены у поставщика H&M в Индонезии с использованием имеющегося на фабрике производственного оборудования. Keh said the pilot’s aprons were made by H&M’s supplier in Indonesia using existing production equipment at the factory. “It’s a pretty simple chemical process.”
In the pilot project, the aprons are heated to 30-40 degrees Celsius after use, at which temperature they release carbon dioxide into the greenhouse, where the gas is taken up by plants.
The textile industry has a large carbon footprint, so with rising global temperatures, big fashion brands are now working to make shoppers more aware of the environmental impact of fast fashion.
