A new issue of WSA magazine is now available, providing, as always, analysis of eye-catching developments in performance textiles for use in sports and outdoor products.

A theme that runs through a number of the articles this time is the increasing use of plant-based raw materials to make textile fibres. We recount the strides that companies as diverse as established industrial group Toray and start-up Genomatica have taken to make nylon more renewable. There is also a detailed update of developments in using plant-based raw materials in manmade cellulosic fibres and another on plants as an interesting source of alternative down-like materials.
