The Evaluation Indicator System of Low-Carbon Parks in the Textile Industry

Given that low-carbon development has become an important goal for the sustainable development of the industrial sector, the development of low-carbon industrial parks is conducive to advancing the low-carbon development of China’s industry. Based on the development status quo of industrial parks in China’s textile industry, this article adopted literature research, qualitative and quantitative analysis, and expert consultation to establish an evaluation indicator system for low-carbon industrial parks characterized by a scoring mechanism comprising three levels with thirty indicators. Meanwhile, considering the requirements of policies, documents, regulations, and standards related to energy consumption and low-carbon development in the textile industry, these indicators’ benchmark values and evaluation criteria were calculated and determined. Then, this article selected the parks dominated by garment, chemical fiber manufacturing, and textile industries for low-carbon evaluation demonstrations. The low-carbon zone evaluation index system developed in this article could realize the monitoring, assessment, and comparison of the low-carbon levels of industrial parks, thereby facilitating the planning, construction, and management of low-carbon parks in the textile industry.
