IND HEMP Invests In Premium Fiber Processing Line

IND HEMP Logo NEWFORT BENTON, Mont. — October 1, 2026 — IND HEMP, a producer, processor and supplier of industrial hemp materials in the USA, today announced a significant investment in new fiber processing equipment at its IH Fiber decortication facility in Fort Benton, Montana. The investment adds a secondary processing line, featuring multiple fiber refining technologies to perform opening, cleaning and cottonizing, that brings IND HEMP’s hemp fiber to a ready-to-spin quality directly at the source.

Yarn is the foundation from which nearly every fabric application is built. Once hemp fiber is spun into yarn, it can be woven or knit into a wide range of end products, from garments and home goods to technical fabrics such as composites. Historically, reaching that spinnable quality has required additional refining beyond standard decortication, work that has fallen to third-party processors, or to the spinners themselves, upgrading standard decorticated technical fiber before it can run on their equipment. The commissioning of IND HEMP’s new processing line brings that refining capability in-house, at the fiber’s source.

“Consumers are increasingly looking for natural materials and more transparent supply chains, and brands are moving quickly to try to meet that demand. Hemp is an incredible plant-based solution, but until now the U.S. hasn’t been capable of consistently delivering the quality and scale the global textile industry requires,” explains IND HEMP CEO Morgan Tweet. “By supplying ready-to-spin fiber directly from Montana, we’re removing one of the biggest barriers for manufacturers wanting to work with hemp. This investment gives American-grown hemp the opportunity to compete on the global market, ultimately making its way into more of the products consumers want to buy.”

“This investment is a strategic step in IND HEMP’s growth trajectory because it converts more of our existing processing scale into higher-value, market-ready fiber. By adding premium refining capability at our Fort Benton facility, we can serve a broader range of textile and nonwoven customers, improve consistency and supply-chain efficiency, and respond to growing demand in both domestic and international markets,” shares Trey Riddle, CFO, IND HEMP.

Multiple Grades, Ready to Run

The new line allows IND HEMP to offer multiple grades of premium, cottonized fiber directly from its Fort Benton facility, ready for spinners and nonwoven manufacturers to use as supplied. Because refining now happens at the source, fiber yields and quality are improved, giving customers a more consistent fiber with better overall economics.

Built for Global Supply

“IND HEMP was built to operate at industrial scale, and today’s textile supply chain is global,” said Tweet. “This investment gives us ready-to-spin fiber we can put directly into international supply chains. We’re already shipping fiber to international markets in Asia and the Americas, with additional export partnerships in development, and we invite spinners, weavers, and manufacturers around the world to connect with us as a reliable, scalable source for premium U.S.-grown hemp fiber.”

The Nature Conservancy Launches Microfiber Action Alliance To Reduce Microfiber Pollution In Textile Sector

the_nature_conservancy_logoSACRAMENTO, CA— October 6, 2026 — The Nature Conservancy (TNC) has launched the Microfiber Action Alliance (MAA), a new multi-stakeholder initiative to combat microfiber pollution by accelerating the adoption and scaling of effective, evidence-based solutions. Convened by TNC, the founding cohort includes Nike, Patagonia, Under Armour, lululemon, Cotopaxi and REI Co-op, among other leading brands.

Microfibers are small particles that shed from both synthetic and natural textiles. Alongside use and wear, the production of clothing and textiles is a significant contributor to microfiber pollution globally, with some estimates indicating that microfibers account for over 30% of ocean microplastics. While synthetic microfibers are among the most common forms of microplastic pollution found in nature, even natural fibers, such as cotton and wool, contribute to microfiber pollution if they have been treated with dye, softeners or finishes. Once in the environment, microfibers are extremely difficult to remove because they are so small and easily dispersed, underscoring the importance of prevention.

Fortunately, a range of effective solutions exist. Complementing the work of The Microfibre Consortium, which convenes across the textile industry to develop the science, data and tools needed to reduce fiber fragmentation, TNC will work with participating companies to better understand, refine and advance solutions that can meaningfully reduce microfiber pollution. Through actions taken within each participating company’s supply chain, the MAA will generate practical insights on what works and share those lessons with the broader industry to help drive wider adoption.

“We’re focusing on advancing solutions that can scale beyond Nike,” said Scott Vitters, Senior Director of Global Sustainability at Nike. “Through the Microfiber Action Alliance, we’re combining scientific insight with industry collaboration to better understand where pollution occurs, deploy effective interventions and accelerate progress across the apparel value chain. That’s how meaningful change happens, by learning together and acting together.”

“Microfiber pollution is a pervasive problem that affects everyone on the planet, and this alliance creates strategic tools for apparel companies to find solutions to that problem,” said Matt Dwyer, vice president of global product footprint at Patagonia. “We’re addressing microfibers throughout our supply chain while also investing in ways to reduce shedding during our products’ lifecycles. For the health of the planet, all apparel companies can reduce microfiber shedding.”

“We have seen incredible scientific advancements around this issue, informed by years of industry research, and The Nature Conservancy is excited to help companies apply and build upon those efforts,” said Patrick Jurney, Plastics Project Director at The Nature Conservancy in California. “Addressing microfiber pollution is a complicated problem that requires collaboration across the textile sector. We believe the Alliance can help accelerate the adoption of solutions that benefit freshwater ecosystems, oceans, wildlife and communities worldwide.”

“The Microfibre Consortium welcomes the Alliance’s focus on accelerating the adoption of new technologies and innovation across supply chains. We look forward to working with its members, and the wider industry, to reduce fiber fragmentation,” said Kelly Sheridan, CEO of The Microfibre Consortium.

With the initial participation of these companies—and opportunities for additional companies to join—the Microfiber Action Alliance is creating a credible, scalable roadmap for industry-wide progress over time.

Apparel companies interested in joining the Microfiber Action Alliance or learning more about reducing microfiber pollution can visit nature.org/microfibers.

Comments

“We all must work to treat low-shedding construction as an engineering parameter embedded in design decisions from day one, not a metric measured at the end.  No single brand can solve this alone. Complete coordinated action across the value chain is essential to achieving the real reductions the science demands. Under Armour is proudly committed to contributing its data, methodology, and experience to this collective effort.” — Kyle Blakely, Senior Vice President, Design, Innovation and Development at Under Armour

“We envision a future where the clothing we wear and the textiles we make have a significantly lighter impact on our climate, communities and environment. While this is an ambitious vision and there is still significant work ahead, the brands involved are coming together now to help move the industry in the right direction and keep plastic out of our bodies and watersheds.” — Annie Agle, Vice President of Impact and Sustainability at Cotopaxi

“Microfiber pollution is a complex challenge that no single company can address alone. At REI, we’ve supported research and collaborative efforts to better understand this issue, and we’re committed to working alongside industry peers, researchers and conservation partners to help identify practical, science-based solutions. Through the Microfiber Action Alliance, we have an opportunity to build on that work and turn shared learning into collective action that helps protect the health of the outdoors for future generations.” —Andrew Dempsey, Director of Sustainability at REI

Results Of The 40th ITMF Global Textile Industry Survey : Slight Improvement, But The Textile Industry Remains Under Pressure

ZÜRICH, Switzerland — October 6, 2026 — The 40th ITMF Global Textile Industry Survey (GTIS), conducted from 21 to 29 September 2026, shows a slight improvement in the global business situation, to -23pp, well above the November 2023 low of -46pp. Conditions nevertheless remain weak, in what has become a new normal of high uncertainty. Only South Asia (+13pp) and Africa (+9pp) are positive, while Europe (-36pp), South America (-44pp) and North & Central America (-56pp) report the weakest conditions. Along the value chain, the two ends are doing better than the middle. Fibre producers (+17pp) are the only positive segment, while spinners (-33pp) and finishers (-42pp) lag. Textile machinery manufacturers (-35pp) continue to suffer from companies’ reluctance to invest.

ITMF - GTIS 40 GraphsBusiness expectations for the next six months improved to +19pp, in sharp contrast to the current situation. However, 46% of participants expect no change, a sign that the optimism rests more on hope than on concrete signals. Africa (+59pp) is by far the most optimistic region, while East Asia (-20pp) and Southeast Asia (-6pp) remain pessimistic. Fibre producers (+67pp) are the most confident segment.

Order intake edged up to -24pp but remains weak, and South America has fallen to a record low of -69pp. Rising costs and inflation make a significant recovery in the coming months unlikely. The global order backlog shortened slightly to 2.3 months, within the range of 2 to 2.5 months it has held since mid-2023, as most companies work on confirmed orders only. Capacity utilisation rose to 71%, above the November 2023 record low of 68% but still well below the levels above 80% seen before late 2022.

Weak demand remains the main concern, cited by 56% of participants. Cost-related concerns are rising, led by high raw material (42%) and energy prices (41%), which have pushed inflation up again since the war in Iran. Concern about geopolitics has eased to 36%, from 46% in July. In response to US tariffs, companies are mainly diversifying into non-US markets (29%), investing in automation and efficiency (23%) or absorbing the higher costs (23%).

Order cancellations remain low at around 2% on average, though they have risen among finishers in three consecutive surveys. Inventories remain lean in most regions, with Southeast Asia at a record low. The Americas are the exception: there, high inventories combined with weak order intake point to a build-up of unsold stock.

EverDye Recognized By The Textile Industry: ZDHC Certification And CEMATEX Start-Up Grant To Scale Up Sustainable Dyeing

EverDye logoPARIS — October 5, 2026 — EverDye, the startup developing low-impact textile dyeing solutions, received two important recognition from the textile industry. The company secured the ZDHC Certification (Zero Discharge of Hazardous Chemicals), and is one of the 20 startups selected by CEMATEX (European Committee of Textile Machinery Manufacturers) for the CEMATEX Start-Up Grant.

Founded in 2021, EverDye developed a bio-based pigment dyeing process that consumes less energy and operates at room temperature. This process reduces CO2 emissions by 90% and cuts energy consumption by 8 times compared to traditional textile dyeing methods. The company is led by Dr Amira Erokh, a materials chemist whose vision paved the way to a new approach.

ZDHC certification: a labor for chemical management excellence

ZDHC (Zero Discharge of Hazardous Chemicals) is a global initiative aiming to eliminate hazardous chemicals from the textile and leather industry. The certification attests to a chemical product’s compliance with the MRSL (Manufacturing Restricted Substances List), the list of substances prohibited or restricted during manufacturing.

This mission resonates with EverDye, validating the technological approach of using bio-based pigments with the aim to limit chemical residues.

“The ZDHC certification confirms that it is possible to transform the dyeing process without compromising on chemical control. At EverDye, we want to drive a profound shift in the industry toward a more responsible model, starting with dyeing. This recognition gives brands and manufacturers a concrete guarantee for partnering with us.” – Amira Erokh, Founder of EverDye

EverDye’s process relies on green-chemistry based on affinity: the pigment acts like a magnet, quickly anchoring itself into the fiber with a longer lasting effect, allowing the dyeing process to take place rapidly and at room temperature. This streamlined approach offers three major benefits: less chemical residue, reduced water and energy consumption, and richer, longer-lasting colours.

CEMATEX Grant: EverDye selected as one of Europe’s most promising textile innovations

EverDye is one of the 20 European startups selected to receive the CEMATEX Start-Up Grant. This highly competitive selection identifies the company as one of the most promising innovators in the textile industry. EverDye is featured in the “Colourants & Chemicals” category, alongside other startups working on recycling, fibers, testing and automation.

The grant will fund EverDye’s participation at ITMA 2027 in Hanover. Often considered “The Olympics” of textile machinery, every four years ITMA brings together manufacturers, brands, investors, research centres and technology partners. The event will be an opportunity to showcase its bio-based dyeing process to those who can help EverDye scale it up for wider industry adoption.

Dual recognition, one shared direction

The ZDHC certification and the CEMATEX selection certify how the industry is validating both the chemical rigor and the industrial potential of EverDye. In a sector where dyeing accounts for a significant share of water, energy, and polluting chemical consumption, these two milestones confirm that low-carbon dyeing can establish itself as a credible alternative.

“Color should never again come at a hidden cost to the planet. These recognitions tell us that the industry is ready to move from commitment to action, and we are ready to play our part.” – Philippe Berlan, CEO of EverDye
