Modification program for energy-saving for apparel manufacturers

There is a deep concern over the present situation of high energy consumption in apparel manufacturers.This paper first analyzes the cause leading to the high consumption of energy and then discusses countermeasures in respect of illumination,sewing machine and pressing equipment.And accordingly several different reform programs are presented.After comprehensive analysis such as feasibility study,payback period and method and so on,an optimal innovation programs for apparel manufacturers is given.The difficulty comes into play for small and medium-sized enterprises in that lack of funds for energy transformation,inability to undertake the investment and technological risks.For this,the energy performance contracting method is suggested,which is quite mature abroad.According to the method,energy-saving benefits can be shared without first-phase investment.Therefore this method can reduce production costs as much as possible and enhance economic efficiency,thus realizing cleaner production,energy saving and emission cut in apparel manufacturers.
