European Textile And Clothing Federations Mobilize Against Ultra-Fast Fashion

VILLEPINTE, France — September 16, 2025 — On the occasion of the Première Vision trade fair in Villepinte, the leading European textile and clothing federations issued a solemn call for urgent action against the rapid rise of ultra fast fashion.

This model, driven by major non-European e-commerce platforms, already accounted for 4.5 billion imported parcels in the European Union in 2024 — representing 5 percent of clothing sales (20 percent online) — and continues to grow at a staggering pace.

The signatories warn of the severe consequences of this phenomenon:

  • Explosion of textile waste due to the overproduction of items with a very short lifespan.
  • Unbearable pressure on European SMEs, committed to strict social and environmental standards.
  • A direct threat to local retailers, accelerating the decline of city centers.
  • Practices in breach of European rules, such as VAT fraud, counterfeiting, and unfair competition.

Key demands

The federations call on the European institutions and Member States to act without delay to:

  • Enforce the reform of the European Customs Code adopted on 27 June 2025.
  • Strengthen controls and sanctions through the DSA and DMA.
  • Require e-commerce platforms to appoint legally authorized representatives, so they can be held accountable.
  • Introduce taxation on small parcels and abolish the customs duty exemption below 150 euros.
  • Ensure VAT collection on these massive flows.
  • Engage in dialogue with the Chinese authorities to regulate the practices of their platforms.

European consumers are also invited to choose durable products and support companies investing in quality and innovation.

An unprecedented and united European mobilization

The joint declaration was co-signed by:

  • Euratex – The European Apparel and Textile Confederation,
  • UFIMH – Union française des Industries de la mode et de l’Habillement,
  • UIT – Union des Industries Textiles, Confindustria
  • Moda – Federazione Tessile e Moda (Italy),
  • Fedustria (Belgium), Atok (Czech Republic),
  • DM&T – Danish Fashion & Textile (Denmark),
  • Finnish Textile & Fashion (Finland),
  • Textil+Mode (Germany),
  • SEPEE – Hellenic Fashion Industry Association (Greece),
  • LATIA – Lituanian Apparel & Textile Industry Association (Lithuania),
  • Modint (The Netherlands),
  • ATP – Associação Textil e Vestuario de Portugal (Portugal),
  • Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Serbia (Serbia),
  • Consejo Intertextil Espanol (Spain),
  • Swiss Textiles (Swiss),

  • Creamoda – Belgian Fashion (Belgium),
  • Alliance for European Flax-Linen & Hemp (european alliance of flax and hemp),
  • PIOT – Federation of Apparel & Textiles Industry Employers (Poland).

A call to action

“Ultra fast fashion cannot become the norm. The European Union has both the means and the duty to act immediately to protect its businesses, its workers, and the environment.” – Declaration of the European textile and clothing federations

The third collection in this collaboration features 20 seaside-inspired colorways across four new patterns highlighting the lush gardens, wild beaches and the colorful, charming architecture for which the coastal New England region is known.

The motifs in this collection include traditional florals and diamonds alongside more contemporary interpretations, layering expressive floral illustrations with scalloped designs.

The Cape Cod Collection evokes a comfortable yet charming aesthetic inspired by summers on the cape and the playful color schemes and patterns that emerge during that time, including the following:

  • Trellis – A fresh take on a classic floral, Trellis layers hydrangea-inspired botanical artwork with a playful scalloped design, blending traditional New England charm with a refined modern style.
  • Martha – A timeless Jacobean floral made modern with fresh color combinations, Martha is perfectly positioned for sun-soaked spaces inspired by flourishing gardens.
  • Tucker – A delicate pinstripe pattern featuring a soft and casually relaxed texture, Tucker offers instant comfort with an easygoing vibe for any design scheme.
  • Yardly – A charming diamond pattern featuring subtle scalloped details and a softly textured boucle yarn, this mid-scale, two-toned jacquard is perfect for coordinating with other patterns.

“We are delighted to celebrate the charm and relaxed elegance of the New England coast. We hope these fresh new patterns express a timeless traditional style and a playfully contemporary aesthetic,” said Lindsey Josepayt, vice president of design and marketing at United Fabrics. “Our ‘landmark’ pattern in this collection is Trellis, with its hand-drawn hydrangeas and curvy diamond backdrop, this pattern is a real showstopper!”

The Roadtrip Series embarked on its cross-country journey in 2024 with the Coney Island Collection before heading to the American Southwest with the Red Rocks Collection. Each destination collection enriches the Road Trip series with its own unique tribute to America’s scenic landscapes and corresponding color motifs. Like previous collections, the Cape Cod assortment meets ACT performance standards for hospitality settings and offers all the benefits of Sunbrella performance fabrics, including colorfastness, resistance to stains, mildew and fading, easy cleanability, and lasting comfort. Designed for versatility, these fabrics are suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.

Dallas-Based Promos Ink Adopts Digital Production Solutions from Kornit Digital to Meet Changing Market Needs

ROSH-HA`AYIN, Israel — September 15, 2025 — Kornit Digital Ltd. — a global company specializing in sustainable, on-demand digital fashion and textile production technologies — announced today another premier screen printing contractor is transitioning production volumes from its 60 analog systems to Kornit Digital production solutions — enabling them to provide the agility customers need for rapid turnaround and faster delivery of custom apparel whilst continuing to offer the highest standards of quality.

Based in Dallas, Promos Ink has built a reputation as a top provider of screen printing, embroidery and fulfillment services — with more than 1,000 partners, distributors, and authorized decorators. The company specializes in providing exceptional services from planning to post-production for high-quality, custom-made prints for a range of businesses and has traditionally relied on analog screen printing to meet this demand. However, with the ever-changing competitive market and customer requirements for improved time-to-market, variety and choice of order quantities, Promos Ink turned to Kornit’s technology to expand their offering without compromising on their exceptional quality standards.

Kornit Atlas Max Plus

Promos Ink began its journey with three Atlas MAX PLUS systems less than a year ago and have recently added the Kornit Apollo platform to take its business one step further. While the first MAX systems were primarily used to address quick, quality turnaround for short runs, the Apollo platform is the engine for screen replacement to transition customers at scale.

“There are two key reasons customers align with Promos Ink — our speed of delivery and unmatched quality of products — especially apparel. Our offerings aren’t just about bringing ideas to life for customers, they’re about creating a lasting imprint that narrates the ultimate brand story,” said Carla Dooley, owner and CEO at Promos Ink. “While screen printing was effective to match all production needs in the past, we felt the current state of market demands something different. By aligning with Kornit’s on-demand, mass-digital technology — we genuinely believe this is the future for us to say yes to all our customer needs.”

“They say necessity is the mother of invention — and nowhere is this clearer than in the custom fashion and apparel marketplace. Brands and producers have been stuck, faced with surging demand for the highest quality products delivered quickly to meet the requirements of an eCommerce age, but limited by traditional production technology,” said Ronen Samuel, CEO at Kornit Digital. “Based on the power of our on-demand, mass-digital production portfolio, customers like Promos Ink are able to not only meet but exceed customer requirements that today’s consumer demands.”

KARL MAYER Participates In A German Delegation’s Trip To Initiate Business With Textile Machinery In Egypt

OBERTSHAUSEN, Germany — September 15, 2025 — To promote cooperation with Egyptian companies, 18 top players from the German textile machinery industry are traveling to Cairo and Alexandria for business meetings. The sessions will take place on 22nd September in Cairo and 24th September in Alexandria, and will each include a large symposium, networking opportunities during individual B2B meetings, and visits to multi-stage textile manufacturers.

The trip is being organized by the consultancy firm SBS Systems for Business Solutions and the German-Arab Chamber of Industry and Commerce in Egypt, in close cooperation with the VDMA, whose member companies are providing the delegation participants, including KARL MAYER.

The renowned manufacturer of warp knitting machines and warp preparation equipment is presenting itself on the trip as a partner that takes care of all its customers’ business needs.

EDANA: Anti-Dumping Probe Launched Into PET Spunbond For Bituminous Membranes Imports From China

BRUSSELS, Belgium — September 15, 2025 — The European Commission has opened an anti-dumping investigation into PET spunbond imports from China, following a complaint lodged by members of EDANA, the international association for nonwoven and related industries.

EDANA welcomes this vital move by the European Commission to counter the influx of unfairly priced goods from Chinese exporters entering the EU market. Jacques Prigneaux, EDANA’s Director of Market Analysis & Economic Affairs, stressed the need for urgent trade defence measures, stating: “The EU PET spunbond sector is facing mounting pressure from Chinese manufacturers. Since 2021, Chinese producers have rapidly increased exports of PET spunbond to the EU and have taken over a significant share of the EU PET spunbond market at the expense of the EU industry. Accordingly, we look forward to the rapid registration of imports and the possibility of retroactive imposition of anti-dumping measures.”

PET spunbond is a nonwoven material made from polyester filaments and is used as a carrier layer in bituminous membranes. The product is an essential input material for the EU’s building and construction sector in their efforts to accelerate housing renovation and clean energy roof construction in line with the EU’s green transition policies.

According to the Complainants, the unfairly priced Chinese imports have caused material injury to their performance, which saw a significant decline. “This underlines the need for the European Commission to make use of its trade defence tools. EDANA stands ready to support the EU Commission during its investigation,” Prigneaux concluded.

Q&A:

Why did the EU PET spunbond producers file the anti-dumping Complaint?

The Chinese PET spunbond exporting producers have been increasing their presence on the EU market. Between 2021 and 2024, imports of Chinese PET spunbond into the EU increased their market share from [0-5] % to [15-20] %. The EU PET spunbond industry therefore asked the Commission to investigate the situation with a view to restoring a level playing field in the EU.

How long does the investigation last?

The anti-dumping investigation lasts up to 14 months. The Commission will conduct an objective examination of the situation and reach its findings after hearing all interested parties.

What will be the outcome of the investigation?

The Commission will, based on the evidence collected, decide whether it is necessary to impose anti-dumping duties on imports of PET spunbond from China.

What will be the level of the AD duties?

We do not know that. That is one of the findings the Commission will need to reach based on its investigation.

When could measures be imposed?

The Commission can impose provisional measures up to 8 months after the initiation of the investigation.  Definitive measures can be imposed before the end of the investigation (14 months from the date of initiation).  Also, relatively early in the investigation, the Commission can be expected to direct national customs authorities to register imports. The registration allows the Commission to make the definitive measures retroactive to the date of registration.
