Company Name: BADER China Ltd
Project Name: Caneotex & Circutex, an environmentally-friendly and sustainable fabric
Award Category: Innovation Sustainable Product
Product / Service Introduction
Caneotex is a low-carbon environment-friendly fabric developed based on natural fiber fabric. The natural fibers used include hemp fiber, organic cotton and recyclable cotton. Compared with ordinary fabrics, Caneotex has a huge low-carbon advantage and reduces the greenhouse effect. Its principle is that hemp converts CO₂ in the air into O₂ through photosynthesis, and fixes CO₂ in the body cellulose, which has a very high carbon fixation effect. Hemp fiber has high mechanical strength and is naturally antibacterial and mildew-proof. This material is more economical than traditional cotton. It can reduce pollution, protect the environment and give new life to waste.
Circutex is a sustainable product developed to reduce plastic waste. By using fabrics produced by recyclable plastic bottles, the environmental pollution of plastic products is reduced. Compared with the production of new plastics, the production of recyclable plastics requires less energy, which can minimize carbon emissions and reduce the pollution of plastic waste to land and sea.
According to different raw material design schemes, the carbon emissions of Caneotex and Circutex are 3-8 kg Co/m2.
Explanation of Circular Economy Practice
BADER is committed to producing low-carbon environmental protection products, reducing the greenhouse effect, protecting the environment, contributing to the global double-carbon strategy and benefiting the next generation.
As a leading enterprise in the domestic automobile leather interior industry, BADER‘s ’brand competitiveness is its technological innovation ability and high-end technology development ability. In recent years, BADER has successively developed sustainable, environmentally friendly and low-carbon B-Green leather, negative oxygen ion leather, broad-spectrum antibacterial leather and broad-spectrum antiviral leather to enhance public health and safety, leading the development of automobile leather interior industry. In 2023, BADER also developed non-genuine automobile interior fabrics-—Caneotex and Circutex, which guided the development of non-genuine automobile interior materials towards low carbon, environmental protection and sustainability.
In view of the double-carbon strategy, the automobile industry is paying more and more attention to low-carbon, environmentally-friendly and sustainable materials. Caneotex and Circutex are products developed based on the concept of low-carbon environmental protection. Once they are launched, they will be favored by OEMs that pay attention to the double-carbon strategy and environmental protection concept, and fill the vacant position in the industry.
Overview of Product/Service Lifecycle
Product Design:
From January 2022 to June 2023, through a year and a half, Caneotex and Circutex completed the product design and development from raw material development, coating process development, experimental testing, seat model making and steering wheel model making.
Production:
From June, 2023 to July, 2023, Caneotex and Circutex products were produced in small batches of 300 square meters operated by mass production personnel on mass production equipment.
Useage:
In August,2023, Caneotex and Circutex are two new products, which are suitable for main engine plants that do not use leather interiors and pay attention to environmental protection, carbon emissions and sustainability.
Recycling and Recovery:
Caneotex and Circutex will continue to target natural fibers including hemp fiber, organic cotton and recyclable cotton, and recyclable plastic bottles will be recycled and regenerated.
