In 2000, EU exports of obsolete textiles were more than 55 million tons; in 2019, they increased to 1.7 million tons, equivalent to 8.4 pounds of textile wastes per year. A comparison of the per capita consumption of approximately 15 pounds of textiles per year in the European Union indicates that more than half of the textiles are exported to Asia and Africa for precipitation recovery or for landfills.

The report of the European Environment Agency (EEA) stresses that consumers make their old dressings a good vision, and hopes that they will be used by those who need it, but that the facts are often contrary to them.

Indeed, there is considerable uncertainty as to whether exports of obsolete textiles can be used effectively on a second basis.

Africa is reported to have imported most of Europe’s obsolete textiles, accounting for 46 per cent of total European exports, some of which are resold on the second-hand market, but still a large part of them remains the textile waste that plagues sustainable development. Asia, on the other hand, imported 41 per cent of the EU textile waste and partly recovered from industrial fillings for reuse.

The largest second-hand textile importer in Asia is Pakistan. Here, about half of the second-hand textiles are recycleed into industrial products.

As the world’s sixth largest consumer importer, Ghana has a very prosperous secondary garment market. However, as the quality of the past few years has not been guaranteed, the market has been “bush” and the recyclable rate of second-hand clothing has been significantly reduced, eventually becoming a waste that plagues the human ecological environment. In addition, the report indicates that these textile wastes are eventually buried, burned or dumped directly in the river’s sea, causing serious air, soil and water pollution.

As mentioned in the report: “In principle, exported obsolete textiles can be reused in the receiving country; however, in practice, these hard-to-reuse end-of-life textiles are usually recycled, directly buried or sent into the garbage dump.”

At the same time, codes used to record textiles and fibre composition are often confused, and it is therefore difficult to track the arrival of waste in other countries. The report indicates that there is a lack of specific research and information on the actual re-utilization of end-of-life textile countries, the proportion of end-of-life textiles that eventually become waste, the specific waste management system and the corresponding ability to deal with obsolete textiles that are difficult to recover sustainably.

With the closure of the channels for the export of textile waste to the countries of the South, Europe also faces great challenges in dealing with its own textiles.

In addition, by 2025 EU countries will need to separate textiles from other wastes; in addition, the EU has introduced restrictions on the export of second-hand textiles to developing countries, and it is expected that the list of textiles prohibited from exports will be established by the end of this year.

At the same time, the report of the European Environment Agency stresses that Europe is not in a position to recover most of the second-hand clothing and shoes it produces. In 1940, Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda and Burundi planned to phase out the import of second-hand textiles from industrialized countries.

It has been reported that biological fibres, such as artificial fibres or adhesions, taken from trees, are also structurally problematic in themselves, although they are often viewed as more environmentally friendly alternatives by the industry.

While the use of biofibrous has resulted in the phase-out of oil bases and plastic textiles, such as polyesters, other environmental threats, such as agricultural activities, water resources from deforestation and fibre processing, and land resource consumption. The report points out that “the bio-based properties do not free biofibrous from environmental problems such as the release of microfibres, the generation of waste and the possibility of recycling”.

Recently, a group of Yang Mi’s red brown winter outfits were released with a large surprise. The photo shows Yang Mi wearing a plush jacket and leather jumpsuit, with cold eyes, exquisite makeup, and a strong aura.

Many famous buildings standing in the world embody the purification of human wisdom; Every region and era also has its yearning cultural symbols.

It is said that New York is synonymous with vanity fair, flashy and noisy, but this prosperous, complex and diverse megacity is not the embodiment of its character? From Times Square to the statue of liberty, from the New York Library to the United Nations headquarters, and then to Fifth Avenue, freedom, history, culture, fashion This diversity and tolerance may also be the pursuit of life by many people at present.

From New York to London, from Hong Kong to Venice, and from Amanda to Armani, what will your home be like in the future? At first glance, these cities and brand images may not have a particularly close relationship with home, but think about it carefully. Isn’t the cultural character exactly our deep pursuit of home?

However, these elements are presented one by one in the bologne Home Art Museum, which meets all people’s beautiful imagination of home life.

Live in art

It is said that art is the objective reflection and reproduction of real life, and life is the source of art creation. Art comes from life and is higher than life. There are many forms of art, which can be music, painting, literary works, our life and our home environment.

This time, Wang Jing, the national editor in chief of sina home, and Gu Ke, the vice president of home decoration of ouhao group jointly conducted an in-depth exploration of the store. The biggest shock left is that Boloni really built a home decoration experience store into a “Museum” like existence. 16 years ago, the pioneer house was built in different styles. Today, 16 years later, the 30000 square meter live experience store is said to have cost 460 million yuan to build. At the same time, six international masters were invited to jointly dedicate nine trendy houses, from the enduring fashion and modern style, to the current hot aman style, and then to the exquisite classical style. Each style corresponds to different personality colors.

As Gu Ke said, Boloni has just gone through 30 years from its establishment in 1992 to this year. These 30 years have also witnessed earth shaking changes in domestic consumers’ demand for home decoration. The nine mansions are works of art created by constantly studying and summarizing the changes in consumer demand and re combing with six internationally renowned designers.

Walking into this “Museum” is like accompanying art. The “Fifth Avenue” house built under the modern minimalist luxury style, whether it is color, material, modeling, lighting, pattern and enclosure, seems to be within the designer’s accurate calculation, forming a perfect organic unity. The background color of black oak is matched with the transparent bernia series. Through multi-level lighting as the lead, the concise atmosphere and cold and restrained atmosphere immediately run through the whole space.

The architectural sense that can not be ignored and the artistic atmosphere emerging from the details suddenly make people feel like they are on Fifth Avenue, and Audrey Hepburn is standing opposite and staring at Tiffany’s window. It can be said that this house has achieved the perfect unity and integration of the dignity and quiet beauty required by consumers.

Simple Oriental Zen

The nine mansions launched by Bologna home art museum this time are built from the dimensions of style, color, material, function and experience. Through this shop exploration, we can see that it can really meet all the imaginations. It is really there for you to choose. It can be said that you have mastered the final consumption in your own hands.

As Gu Ke said, the younger trend of the current home decoration and home furnishing consumer groups is becoming more and more obvious. They have their own thinking and judgment on demand. If the “Fifth Avenue” just experienced is too noble, this timeless Amanda house may be able to meet everyone’s demand for simplicity.

Aman Hotel, as an extremely luxurious resort hotel in the world, has always been famous for its unique location, low-key and luxurious introversion and elegance in line with the local culture. Aman comes from the Sanskrit word “aman”, which itself means tranquility and peace, and what he has to do is to create a paradise away from the noise. The famous writer Haruki Murakami has never been stingy with his praise for this hotel. He said: “what you live here is not enjoyment, but a natural warmth”.

Just like the “meet aman” house built by Bologna Home Art Museum, the concise and simple washed oak grid runs through from top to bottom, and encloses the spatial pattern by means of separation and continuous, which is quite surrounded by mountains and forests. The washed rubber and plastic at the Milan exhibition in Italy created a new fashion and returned to a new height, which was re applied. The combination of washed rubber and smoked rubber gave aman a sense of natural hierarchy. The embellishment of terrazzo pattern and snowflake white rock board advocates nature and has its own Oriental Zen meaning. Luxury has nothing to do with money. What “meet aman” does is to understand the elegance and connotation of consumers.

Create a character home space

From fifth avenue to meet aman, from Armani to London fog, from Venice to new Yorker The 9 big trend style houses vividly deduce modern fashion, high cold luxury and elegance, and elegant classics, almost covering the current consumer demand for various styles. However, Gu Ke also introduced to Wang Jing in the process of exploring the store that the second and third floors are the gathering place of home building materials brands.

Indeed, as Gu Ke said, at the moment of opening the elevator, all kinds of first-line building materials brands and products poured into our eyes. We were really overwhelmed. From Versace’s ceramic tiles, Hans Geya’s sanitary ware to mousse’s bed products, we really didn’t know who we should focus on. It is understood that the whole soft clothing area is a full 1000 square meters, and the absolute first-line brands are more than 300 +. Under the perfect interpretation of hundreds of materials and colors, 60 spaces with different personalities leap into the eye.

Leather, velvet, linen, cloth, Klein Blue, macarone, metallic paint, rouge powder Whether lovely, sexy, exquisite and elegant, or uninhibited, wild, fashionable and simple, you can find it here

Who are the classic door openers in fuel vehicles

When it comes to the unique design of the door, we must first talk about the representative works of fuel vehicles. Among them, Rolls Royce, the king of the car, performed the most elegant art of opening the door in history. Large SUVs and large vehicles such as curinan (configuration | inquiry), phantom (configuration | inquiry) and gust (configuration | inquiry) all use the design of opposite door opening, so that the VIP sitting in the back row is as noble as walking on the avenue of stars on the mountain. The sports car models like phantom and Yao shadow are two door versions, so the door adopts the form of opening from the front, which is full of personality.

The remaining door opening methods will be contracted by super running. The first is the scissors door, which is also one of the most classic designs. The representative model is Lamborghini, which is also one of its current product symbols. However, the first brand to adopt scissor door is actually alpha Romeo. They applied this design on the concept car Carabo launched at the Paris auto show in 1968. Unfortunately, this Carabo was not mass produced in the end.

Speaking of gull wing door, I thought of the word gentleman. Its first application appeared on the Mercedes Benz 300SL (w198) model launched in 1954, and the designer had this idea not for beauty but for safety. In order to ensure the body stiffness of the tank frame, two thick parallel beams need to be installed on the left and right sides of the chassis, so the normal opening mode of the door cannot be used, so this gull wing door was born.

The butterfly door sounds lovely, but due to the larger opening angle, the combat posture added to the super run after it is opened is stronger than the scissors door. If you want to describe it, I think the butterfly door is like an eagle entering the battle mode, bowing its wings and showing its domineering spirit. So that’s why many super sports cars use doors with this structure. Representative models include Ferrari, laferrari, McLaren P1, etc.

Then start to enter the world of more super sports cars, where you will see another form of door opening - revolving door. The door can be opened only through three actions: abduction, rotation and push forward. The process is complex and the manufacturing cost is very high. Although there is no domineering butterfly door, there is only one car in use in the car industry, so it has also formed a highly personalized iconic symbol. This brand is konisek.

As early as 1989, BMW invented the hidden door just like taking a time machine and getting back a design from the future. It uses special plastic materials to build the body on the Z1 model to realize the unique hidden door. This kind of hidden door can be put into the bottom of the car through electric contraction. It can be said that it is unrestrained, and it is really made. At that time, only 8000 BMW Z1 were produced in mass. Coupled with the unique hidden door, this car has become a “dilution treasure” in the hearts of car fans.

Unique door design in electric vehicle

The door of Tesla Model x is easy to think of gull wing door. Indeed, it has a similar posture after opening, but it is officially called Eagle wing door. I still remember that at the press conference, the car was parked in a small parking space and there were cars on both sides, but the electric doors on both sides easily avoided the left and right vehicles and opened smoothly. This is because there is a distance sensor on the door, which will adjust the posture of “wings” in time to ensure that it will not touch the nearby vehicle. The official saying is that the door can be fully opened as long as the distance between vehicles on both sides is not less than 30cm. At present, there is only Tesla at Eagle wing gate.

Xiaopeng P7 itself is a car with a certain car running texture, so after using the scissors door, it also adds a certain cool attribute to the appearance of the car. This is probably the cheapest scissor door model that consumers can buy. But when it comes to cheapness, its price is about 70000 yuan higher than that of the same model.

For the last model, the one with the most “doors” comes from Gaohe hiphi X. It can be said that it has set a world record. There are six doors in total, which can combine a variety of effects. Can you stand it? The doors in the normal position are still split, and it is said that the supplier is still the same as Rolls Royce. According to the founder, this idea is to facilitate the elderly to get on and off.

Conclusion: the car’s doors are colorful. The unique opening method can really make it easier to get on and off, but more importantly, it brings personality and domineering atmosphere. Among them, I like the shape of butterfly door best, which makes the whole vehicle have an offensive fighting posture. So what kind of door do you like? Don’t put it in the comments to tell me.
