Li Ning applies coffee carbon technology to create the most environmentally friendly sportswear

Science and technology lead the future, decorate life with green. One by one, seemingly impossible things could become possible in the eyes of those who cared. While people are constantly pursuing sports functions, is there a technology that does not bring stress to the environment, but also allows you to achieve moisture absorption, anti-UV, deodorant and other functions? The answer is nothing impossible!

As a leading sports brand in China, Li Ning Company not only caters to consumers 'demand for sports functions, creates innovative products with the most functional and sporty sense, but also actively takes the lead in the use of environmental protection technology, adopts the latest fabric technology-coffee carbon fiber to produce high-quality sportswear products, and sets an example in the use of green environmental protection raw materials.

Coffee you didn't know.

There are too many things in life that we ignore and discard easily. When you enjoy the mellow enjoyment brought by coffee, have you ever thought that coffee residue will bring a burden to the environment because of random disposal? It is understood that the current annual consumption of coffee in China is about 30,000 - 35,000 tons, and in 2012 China's coffee consumption increased by 10% year-on-year. With an annual coffee consumption of more than 30,000 tons, the coffee grounds produced are considerable. Bamboo charcoal fiber, coconut carbon fiber has entered our lives, then, whether these coffee grounds can also turn waste into treasure, for our environment to reduce the burden, but also can produce a large number of high-quality raw materials? If so, the coffee in our hands must feel more mellow and delicious. The answer is yes. Coffee carbon fiber has been developed and applied.

"Natural Beauty" Coffee Carbon Fiber

First of all, coffee carbon fiber has its own unique advantages. The porous structure of coffee carbon fiber has high adsorption, which can destroy the moist environment where bacteria live. The tannin in coffee carbon can coagulate the protoplasm of microorganisms and act as a variety of enzymes. It has obvious inhibitory effect on a variety of bacteria such as Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. Coffee grounds after carbonization into a special porous structure, do not need to add any chemical additives, it has far infrared, heat storage and warmth of the natural effect. Therefore,"natural beauty" coffee carbon fiber does not need post-treatment and additives added, it already has a certain antibacterial function, coffee carbon fiber fabric naturally also has quick-drying, deodorizing, antibacterial, anti-ultraviolet and far infrared natural functions. Because these characteristics are coffee carbon itself, so do not need post-treatment, reduce the use of additives, and long-lasting efficacy. It is obvious that its products will bring higher safety to users.

Second, the use of recycled coffee grounds in its processing process is also more energy-efficient. Coffee carbon adopts low-temperature nano-carbonization, and the processing temperature is 680 ℃, while the processing temperature of bamboo charcoal and coconut charcoal is 950 ℃ and 1200 ℃ respectively, so the manufacture of coffee carbon can greatly reduce water and electricity consumption and carbon dioxide emissions. The manufacturing process of coffee carbon yarn adheres to the principle of complete environmental protection, does not undergo high temperature carbonization, and does not produce a large amount of carbon dioxide.

Green environmental protection Li Ning first

It is adhering to the commitment to society and the commitment to green that Li Ning cooperates with suppliers to jointly develop coffee carbon fiber, which is also the first brand in China to jointly develop and use coffee carbon with material suppliers. On the road to green environmental protection, Li Ning has set an example.

At present, Li Ning's coffee carbon fiber products have been developed to the third generation, and their upgraded functions include moisture absorption and perspiration, UV resistance and deodorization. In addition to the advantages of the original materials, they can meet diversified needs.

In China, Li Ning takes the lead in introducing coffee carbon fiber with many advantages in environmental protection and performance into the company's products among many brands, which is one of the powerful measures that Li Ning attaches great importance to the coordination and balance between company growth and environmental protection. Li Ning Company is committed to reducing the load on the ecological environment during the production process as much as possible through the development and use of new environmentally friendly materials, and assumes the responsibility of a brand company in the process of building a sustainable development supply chain.

Go out in your coffee carbon.

While sports have become a necessity for people's quality of life, environmental protection and green are gradually recognized as healthy lifestyles. When choosing clothing products, more people will consider whether the product is environmentally friendly. The recycling of coffee carbon is becoming a big boon for the clothing industry. The development and utilization of coffee carbon in Li Ning's clothing products has entered people's daily life. It is reported that more than 40% of Li Ning's clothing products in basketball and comprehensive training categories in 2013 have adopted coffee carbon technology, and this star technology will be utilized in more clothing products in the future. Let's go out in carbon coffee!
