Sustainable material and process innovation at ISPO Munich
Sustainability has become increasingly important at ISPO and this trend continued to develop.
The sixteenth edition of Techtextil North America, the only trade show in the Americas dedicated to technical textiles and nonwovens, will take place February 26-28, 2019 in Raleigh, North Carolina. The relocation to Raleigh brings the show back to the heart of the North American Textile Industry, with drive-in access for many leading global companies and within minutes of one of the best airports in the United States, Raleigh-Durham International Airport.
North Carolina’s rich history in textile production dates back to the 1800s and today serves as the location of several of the most important global textile companies, industry associations and educational resources. North Carolina leads the U.S. in the textile mill industry with over 700 textile manufacturing establishments and over 42,000 industry workers. In addition, North Carolina State University’s College of Textiles, located in downtown Raleigh, serves as a hub for textile research and development and as a primary supplier to the industry talent pipeline nationwide.
Cooling fabrics, smart light technology, recycled fibres, 3D body scanning, and cloud connected smart machines were just some of the highlights during the fifteenth edition of Techtextil North America, and fourth Texprocess Americas that took place in 2018. The co-located events brought together the latest innovators in technical textiles, nonwovens, textile machinery, sewn products, equipment, and technology. The events brought 567 Techtextil North America and Texprocess Americas exhibitors representing 32 countries, while total attendance grew to 8,292, roughly a 4% increase over the 2016 events.

Highly accelerated biodegradation rate for new synthetic insulation material
john 29th October 2018, 19:53PMThe article announces that "the bio-degradation process leaves behind water, methane, carbon dioxide and biomass." Both methane and carbon dioxide are widely considered undesirable in relation to carbon footprint. Water is OK. This leaves me wondering what the 'biomass' residue is actually composed of chemically, since the original polymer - albeit reclaimed - is synthetic. If this unspecified 'biomass' can still be ingested in an ocean environment, then where is the upside of the equation?
