The two-day Future Fabrics Expo has closed its doors in London, showcasing more than 10,000 material samples from 700 companies and 14 panels covering topics including regenerative agriculture, regulation, circularity and routes to upscaling for start-ups.

The expo differs from many trade shows in that it is specially curated, with exhibitors and their supply chains needing to pass certain criteria, and with a focus on education and specially curated arenas, organisers told sportstextiles.com 

The idea is to create a springboard for innovation and start-ups, as well as showcasing the commercially available options that could help move the fashion sector away from conventionally-grown cotton and fossil fuel-derived fibres and finishes.
