和“”春蠶到死絲方盡 蠶的一生渺小而偉“Carbon neutrality” marks a great historical course which has not only brought an energy revolution but a profound economic and social systemic change. In response to pressure from the government, society and the public, an increasing number of enterprises and institutions have turned their attentions towards low carbon manufacturing to demonstrate their social responsibility in recent years. The sericulture and silk industry is endowed with such sustainable characteristics as green, low carbon and environmental protection. To respond to proposals launched by international organizations such as International Silk Union (ISU) and International Sericultural Commission (ISC), various silk producing countries have performed study on life circle assessment (LCA) of silk products successively by quantifying and evaluating carbon footprints, water footprint, chemical footprint, social responsibility, etc. during raw material acquisition, industrial production and processing, sales, use, discard, recycling, and other stages from the perspective of full life circle, rendering critical support for green design, green manufacturing and green consumption of silk products so as to achieve the goals of resource conservation, environmental protection and green development.To support and promote the work on “silk sustainable development” and to commemorate the 65th anniversary of Journal of Silk, Zhejiang Sci-Tech University and International Silk Union have jointly published 2021 special issue of Journal of Silk. The special issue gathers the most authoritative and cutting-edge intellectual achievements of sustainable silk research from the perspectives of industry outlook, international silk sustainable development trends, special reports and so on. As live marine creatures are the best example of harmonious coexistence between human beings and the ocean, the cover is themed “ocean carbon sink”, on which seaweed, coral reefs, seagrass beds, mangroves, etc. play a key role in ocean carbon sequestration. Silk-like seaweed and lovely marine creatures on the cover are aimed to call on people’s environmental awareness, curb excessive carbon emissions, advocate a new environment-friendly life of carbon neutralization, and give the Earth, the only home of human beings a chance.
