With the increasing global emphasis on sustainable development, the textile wetting agent industry is undergoing a profound transformation from traditional to green, efficient, and intelligent directions.

Nowadays, the main focus is on developing bio based wetting agents based on natural resources, reducing dependence on traditional petroleum chemicals, achieving resource recycling, and developing composite wetting agents that integrate multiple functions such as wetting, dispersion, antibacterial, anti-static, etc., simplifying the processing flow and improving product added value. By utilizing technologies such as the Internet of Things and big data, precise control and optimization of the use of wetting agents can be achieved, improving production efficiency and reducing waste.

However, some traditional wetting agents may have long-term effects on the environment and organisms, and risk assessment and control need to be strengthened. The wastewater generated after the use of wetting agents contains complex chemical components, making treatment difficult and increasing environmental costs. With the increasingly strict environmental regulations in various countries, the production and use of textile wetting agents need to comply with more standards and requirements.

In the face of this series of challenges, in the future, it is necessary to increase research and development investment, develop more environmentally friendly and efficient wetting agent products, explore the recycling and reuse technology of wetting agents, reduce resource consumption and environmental pollution. Upstream and downstream enterprises in the industrial chain should strengthen cooperation, jointly promote the construction of green supply chains, and form a joint force to address environmental challenges.

In short, facing increasingly severe environmental challenges, the textile wetting agent industry needs to constantly innovate, actively explore green and sustainable development paths, and contribute to the transformation and upgrading of the textile industry.
