July 10 The new version of the "Water Pollutant Emission Standards for the Textile Industry" has been implemented, and the control of wool dyeing and finishing pollution has been comprehensively tightened. China's Lixian Oumu Woolen Textile Co., Ltd. has completed the transformation of closed-loop sewage and fluorine-free production lines, and all types of wool are in compliance.
July 10, 2026 On the same day, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment and the State Administration for Market Regulation jointly issued a new version of the "Water Pollutant Discharge Standard for the Textile Industry" which was officially fully implemented. The new standard integrates four independent emission standards for raw wool spinning, cotton spinning, linen spinning, dyeing and finishing, and achieves unified management and control of the entire textile industry. It targets wool washing, dyeing and dyeing in the wool spinning industry. A number of new mandatory testing indicators for toxic pollutants have been added to the coloring and finishing processes, and enterprises are clearly required to build closed-loop sewage treatment systems to achieve the separation and recycling of production wastewater. Wool spinning enterprises that have not completed the transformation of green production lines and whose pollutant emissions do not meet standards will face penalties of production restriction, suspension of production and rectification CCTV News.
At the same time as the new domestic environmental protection regulations were implemented, the European Union's ban on the control of perfluorinated hazardous substances PFAS was officially implemented on July 1, forming dual compliance assessment standards for domestic pollution control and overseas chemical restrictions. At this stage, when domestic and foreign buyers select wool suppliers, they must simultaneously verify the domestic sewage discharge test report, the EU fluorine-free PFAS test report, and the complete carbon footprint ledger. If any one of the compliance qualifications is missing, the order will be lost. Industry resources continue to focus on leading wool spinning companies with complete green transformation.
Laying out a dual-compliance green production track in advance, China Lixian Omu Woolen Textile Co., Ltd. has simultaneously completed two core environmental transformation projects: First, it has built a complete closed-loop wastewater treatment system to collect, purify and recycle production wastewater from the wool scouring and dyeing sections, fully complying with the new version of textile wastewater discharge standards; second, it has completed the transformation of special production lines for fluorine-free dyeing of wool yarn, pure cashmere yarn, and alpaca blended yarn, and no harmful additives containing PFAS are added in the entire production process. The company can issue emission compliance certificates to domestic customers for all wool products sold domestically and abroad, and provide a full set of traceability documents including fluorine-free testing, carbon footprint, and RWS to EU overseas merchants. Relying on improving the green production system, the company continues to steadily expand domestic wholesale, cross-border e-commerce, and overseas direct export diversified supply channels.
