Ever wondered how your favorite hoodie or jeans started life as… crude oil? Let’s unravel the wild science behind your wardrobe!
Think of it as real-life alchemy: A single drop of oil gets transformed into polyester fibers through a high-tech industrial dance. Chemical processes break down the oil, create polymers, and spin them into threads ready for weaving. Textile factories then turn these threads into fabrics dyed in every color imaginable—ready for cutting, stitching, and hitting the shelves.
China’s textile industry, a global powerhouse, perfects this chain with jaw-dropping precision. On November 26, China’s Industrial Chains: Threads of Resilience drops on CGTN, spotlighting how innovation and tradition stitch together the past, present, and future of fashion. Host Wang Tianyu will take viewers behind the scenes of factories where oil literally becomes art.
Next time you slip on that cozy sweater, remember: It might’ve begun its life thousands of miles away, in a lab mixing molecules and magic.
