GF logo is a certified trademark registered and approved by State Administration of Market Regulation, and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology gives instruction to the logo promotional activities, but CCFA is the proprietor of the GF trademark that stands for the circular life in green fashion from birth to rebirth, featuring the raw materials of biomass origin or renewables and recyclables, low-carbon and environmentally friendly process, the end-products pollution-free or reusable back to streamline. In this context of green fibers, they are defined in three categories as are represented by , namely, bio-based, recycled and dope dyeing manmade fibers .
 
Ever since China Chemical Fibers Association(CCFA) launched its green fiber program several years ago, about 30 chemical fiber companies have been qualified for the certificate of the green fiber logo and the green fiber-rich products. The event today is live broadcast with signing ceremony for the country-wide promotion as CCFA, local textile and apparel associations, and some downstream brands owners are present to sign cooperation agreements. Mr. Liu Jianguo, president of Shandong Provincial Textile and Apparel Association, Mr. Wang Qiming, president of Fujian Provincial Textile Industry Association, also Chairman of Quanzhou Haitian Material Technology Co.Ltd., Mr. Wang Yuping, president of Shandong Yuyue Hometextile Co. Ltd., and Mr. Fu Gang, Managing Director of Dezhou Hengfeng Group, respectively representing their own organizations, signed agreements with China Chemical Fibers Association in the conviction that they jointly work together to promote the green fiber certification program for a green fiber supply chain, a new contribution to the textile industry.
 
Mr. Li Deli, deputy engineer-in-chief of CCFA , was also on line to share with the viewers about the accreditation and certification work for the green fiber and its products pertaining to the application for GF logo, and he reiterated that only by ensuring a strict accreditation and assessment in the comprehensive factors, like production process, safety and environmental protection, product quality et., can the fibers and the relevant manufactured products be authenticated of being really green.



The manmade fiber producers, if they apply for the GF logo, must be eligible for the terms and conditions stipulated in [[ Regulations on the Application for Green Fiber Logo-2018 Edition]], and the applicants for GF products certification must comply with CCFA’s [[ Technological Requirements for Green Fiber Assessment]] that sets forth a series of musts in raw materials purchase, fiber production process, product safety and environmental protection etc.. Whoever applies for the green logo, either from manmade fiber producers or from the manmade fiber end-users, must know that the likely impact on human health from heavy metal extractables, chlorophenol, cholorinated benzenes and toluenes, is nothing short of primary consideration in the application and accreditation procedure.
 
China Chemical Fibers Association (CCFA) issued [[ Rules on Certification of Green Fiber Products-2020]] to guide the applicants from downstream manufacturers for getting themselves through the application procedure, provided that they use the certified green fibers as raw materials for their own products all the way down the industrial supply chain, meaning that these products can be yarn, fabrics, apparel, home-textiles and tech-textiles etc.. It is important to be advised that the green fibers must be rich in these downstream products with different level as is set to be over 40% in weight inside a product if the bio-based fiber is taken in, and over 50% in weight if the dope-dyed fiber or recycled fiber is used in the product composition.
