The first of these is the Nonwovens Forum, which is jointly organised by ITMA and the European Disposables and Nonwovens Association (EDANA). It will take place on June 21 under the theme: ‘Nonwovens Manufacturing Processes for the 21st Century: More Flexible, More Efficient, More Sustainable’.
The forum will have three sessions, which will be dedicated to the following topics:

• Latest trends and innovation in nonwoven processes – including hybrids and composites;
• Innovations in nonwovens technology.
There will also be a panel discussion featuring experts from leading centres of excellence in nonwovens. They will give their thoughts on the nonwoven processes of the 2030s.
The second forum that ITMA has highlighted is the third Textile Colourant and Chemical Leaders Forum, which will take place on June 23. It will focus on the circular economy, resource sustainability strategy and how innovation will drive future industry success. Its theme is: ‘Meeting Resource Challenges in the Circular Economy’.
