Upswing for Performance Days
14/03/2025
New sections introduced this season included a space dedicated to digital technologies, the Tech Hub, and a special section for wool (pictured).
A Day 0 agenda was also new to this edition of the European functional fabric fair. The novel conference format is designed to foster exchange and discussions. Some 100 people attended.
The four Award winning fabrics were:
- A Hemp Fortex fabric with Macel, a manmade cellulosic fibre (lyocell here) made from hemp waste, which accounts for 70% of its composition.
- A Cordura/wool blend by Takisada-Nagoya, part of Invista’s Combat Wool platform.
- Step-O-Sole by Step Zero, a German company developing a plastic-free alternative to PU and TPU for footwear.
- Liongtex Innovation integrated Outlast’s Matrix Infusion Coating to increase the comfort zone of next-to-skin clothing.
