China eyes steady, green growth of textile industry

Xinhua, September 28, 2016 Adjust font size:

China aims to achieve average annual output growth of 6-7 percent in its textile industry for the 2016-2020 period and for the industry to become more environmentally friendly, according to a development plan released Wednesday.

Exports will constitute a stable share of the global textile market during the five-year period, but they will be of better quality, said the plan released by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT).

The MIIT also set an 18-percent reduction target for the industry's energy intensity and a 10-percent drop in pollutant emission between 2016 and 2020.

The industry will become greener and smarter, with cleaner technology and more customized products, according to the plan.
