The dual-carbon policy drives the green transformation of the textile silicone oil industry, and the solvent-free process has been fully implemented and accelerated. 

1.New environmental regulations have tightened, and solvent-based silicone oil is being phased out.
The domestic environmental protection department has updated the VOCs control standards for textile auxiliaries, clearly stipulating that by the end of 2026, the exhaust gas removal efficiency of silicone oil production enterprises must reach over 90%. Traditional solvent-based amino silicone oil, due to its high volatility and difficulty in degradation, is gradually withdrawing from the mainstream market. Previously, the industry commonly adopted an organic solvent synthesis route, which not only had a relatively high carbon emission but also had high subsequent wastewater treatment costs. After the new regulations were implemented, the industry as a whole shifted to water-phase polymerization and micro-channel continuous synthesis routes, reducing pollutant emissions at the production source, and small and medium-sized production capacities accelerated the completion of process transformation and upgrading. 

2. Biobased modified silicone oil achieves mass production, with significant reduction in carbon footprint
The biobased textile silicone oil developed based on renewable plant raw materials has entered the stage of large-scale production, with the proportion of renewable raw materials in the product exceeding 40%. Compared with traditional fossil-based silicone oil, this series of products have reduced carbon emissions throughout their life cycle by more than 30%, and have also obtained international green textile product certification, suitable for high-standard textile products such as infant clothing and close-fitting underwear. The industrial silicon raw material domestication at the raw material end is well-established, providing stable support for the large-scale supply of biobased silicone oil, and significantly increasing the market premium of high-end environmentally friendly products. 

3. Breakthrough in waste silicone oil recycling technology, establishing an industrial closed-loop system
The industry has overcome the challenge of recovering silicone emulsions, and the combined process of membrane separation and catalytic cracking has increased the recovery rate of waste silicone oil to over 85%. A recycling treatment unit is set up in the dyeing plant area, which recovers and reprocesses the waste silicone oil and silicon-containing sludge generated during production, converting them into low-grade finishing aids or inorganic fillers, significantly reducing the cost of hazardous waste disposal. Many textile and chemical industrial parks have begun to jointly establish silicone oil recycling processing centers, changing the previous industry model of one-time use and direct disposal. 

4. The export threshold for green silicone oil has been raised, and compliant products have seized the overseas market.
Overseas REACH, ZDHC and other green supply chain standards continue to upgrade, restricting the export of traditional high-ammonia-value silicone oil. Environmentally friendly modified silicone oil that meets low yellowing and low organic volatile matter standards has gained an export advantage. High-end home textile and sports fabric orders continue to grow. Industry enterprises have simultaneously improved their product carbon footprint traceability systems. Green-certified silicone oil products with complete green certifications have continuously enhanced their competitiveness in textile trade in Europe, America and Southeast Asia, becoming the core driving force for export growth.
