Performance Days to host sustainability congress
13/09/2019
Marco Weichert, head of the trade fair, said: “A large share of the exploitation of resources and environmental pollution is still caused by the textile industry, specifically in the areas of water consumption, use of harmful chemicals, and CO2 emissions. This is the reason why Performance Days is dedicated to the topic of sustainability and has covered it comprehensively for several years.
"Sustainability is expected. It is our duty to act sustainably in all stages of the textile production process. We have accompanied the sustainable developments in the industry for many seasons, but even more, we provided the impulse in various directions for sustainability research and development."
Marketing manager Lena Weimer added: "Our focus topics featured sustainability issues early on and provided a focus to our innovative fibre and fabric producers to pursue developments in this field. Whether recycled fibres, recyclable materials, the important topics of biodegradability, water conservation or the use of natural fibres for functional fabrics – we show all possible textile aspects of sustainability for the industry."
Performance Days takes place in Munich, Germany, on November 13 and 14.
