Heimtextil 2025: Carpets & Rugs Is Booming – And Makes Frankfurt An Annual Fixed Point For The Global Carpet Industry

FRANKFURT AM MAIN, Germany — June 26, 2024 — Even bigger, even more international, even higher quality: this is how the successfully established product group Carpets & Rugs presents itself at Heimtextil 2025. The segment will be even stronger at the upcoming event: Carpets & Rugs already has twice as many exhibitors, an additional hall level and new highlights. Strong brands, exciting new products and content formats await the international carpet industry at Heimtextil 2025 in Frankfurt.

Carpets & Rugs on course for growth: At Heimtextil 2025, the successfully established product segment grows in quality and quantity – and is already recording an enormous increase in exhibitors six months before the upcoming event: more than twice as many companies have already registered compared to the previous year. “We are very pleased about this signal from the market. It clearly reflects the industry’s need for a strong, international and central carpet platform. This is exactly what we offer with Heimtextil in Frankfurt: a comprehensive market overview and a bundled product range combined with the highest quality. We have listened to the market and taken on board the feedback. Now it’s a matter of expanding the range, organising it in a structured way and presenting it to visitors in a structured manner”, explains Bettina Bär, Director Heimtextil. In 2025, the segment grows by an entire hall level: the expanded range of high-quality hand-woven carpets and the international country pavilions are located in the additional Hall 5.0. Once again, Hall 5.1 is home to the growing segment of machine-woven carpets and also brings together the enlarged pre-production offer with fibres and yarns as well as technologies specifically for the carpet industry. Hand-knotted carpets and unique pieces, doormats and clean-off systems as well as textile solutions for outdoor areas and contract business round off the unique range. Another highlight: a new carpet area is being planned together with the exhibitor Ragolle Rugs and the Belgian association Fedustria. The association will be exhibiting together with well-known exhibitors from Belgium in a high-quality joint presentation.

The exhibitors confirm the successful establishment of the new product area and the role of Heimtextil as a global industry meeting point and showcase for new trends, collections and products: “Our first participation in this year’s Heimtextil was a success; Heimtextil represents a destination for textile innovations in the home textiles industry, trends, sustainable impulses, and a variety of unique opportunities for our business. We benefited from excellent introductions and numerous new international contacts. We look forward to participating again in 2025”, says Yasmine Khamis, Chairwoman Oriental Weavers Group.

Mittal International emphasises the joint industry presence in the Carpets & Rugs product segment as well as the Frankfurt location as a new anchor point for the carpet industry: “We really appreciate the initiative taken by Messe Frankfurt in launching the Carpets & Rugs segment at Heimtextil. The concept was convincing across the board and met the needs of the industry. We had a successful start, a good influx of customers and also received orders from the USA and Mexico. Carpets & Rugs as a new platform for the carpet industry is a great advantage for us, as we can focus on all segments at Heimtextil. We are even expanding our stand space in Frankfurt for 2025. We are looking forward to participating again in order to continue shaping the new product area for the future,” says Manmohan Sharma, Founding Partner Mittal International.

Current trends and customised content

The additional hall level not only offers an expanded range of exhibitor presentations and product innovations – an extensive content programme also awaits visitors on the two Heimtextil stages: With business-promoting specialist presentations on current industry topics, stimulating panel discussions and exciting guided tours, Heimtextil 2025 positions itself even stronger as a valuable knowledge platform for the carpet industry. The popular Carpet Lounge in the foyer of Halls 5.1/6.1, equipped with high-quality exhibitor products, will once again bring unusual designs and new carpet trends to life in 2025 – and invites visitors to linger and network.

NEXTEVO Launches Groundbreaking ‘Ready-To-Spin’ Pineapple Leaf Fiber Production Facility In Vietnam

HO CHI MINH CITY, Vietnam— June 19, 2024 — NEXTEVO, a Singapore-based materials science startup, is thrilled to announce the launch of its inaugural production facility in Dong Nai province, Vietnam. This state-of-the-art facility transforms pineapple leaf fiber (PALF) into ready-to-spin (RTS) fiber using NEXTEVO’s efficient mechanical process for scalable production.

The new NEXTEVO production facility in Dong Nai, Vietnam.

Leveraging Vietnam’s Strong End-to-end Textile Supply Chain

Vietnam, the world’s third-largest textile exporter, offers a strategic location for NEXTEVO’s debut. Located in Dong Nai, NEXTEVO’s new facility benefits from proximity to major seaports, Ho Chi Minh City, and vertically integrated textile manufacturers. This interconnectivity enhances cost efficiency and reduces the need for long-distance inland transportation, minimising emissions.

NEXTEVO sources pineapple leaf fiber from the Philippines, Indonesia, and East Africa, and soon, Vietnam and India. This diverse and scalable sourcing reduces climate risk and ensures a constant supply of raw materials.

NEXTEVO’s Pineapple Leaf Fiber Stands Out For Its Unique Advantages

As pineapple leaves are a byproduct of fruit cultivation, they require no additional land, water, or fertilisers. Unlike other fibers that require dedicated resources, this method minimises environmental impact by leveraging existing agricultural practices, thereby transforming byproduct into a valuable resource.

In Asia, pineapple symbolises prosperity, while Western cultures associate it with hospitality and luck. Beyond symbolism, the leaves are compostable, biodegradable, and offer sustainability advantages. They also possess skin-friendly and breathable properties, making them ideal for innovative fashion and textile materials.

NEXTEVO meets diverse customer needs with types of product materials: Pineapple RTS fiber, processed in-house; blended yarn, and blended fabric. The offerings are customisable for spinners, yarn producers, and brands, allowing flexibility across the industry, from raw materials to semi-finished textiles. This versatility enables their products to serve various applications in apparel, accessories, footwear, home textiles, and automotive interiors.

“The compelling story and benefits of pineapple fiber will surely resonate with consumers and brands alike.” said Harold Koh, Founder and CEO of NEXTEVO. “We are excited to unveil this sustainable fiber to the textile industry, as we are able to produce it at scale in our own facility to serve our customers consistently.”

NEXTEVO is dedicated to creating a network that connects suppliers, retailers, and customers, fostering sustainable natural fiber growth in Vietnam and improving the livelihoods of farming communities in the Philippines, Indonesia, and East Africa. Future expansions are planned for Vietnam and India.

NEXTEVO offers products to producers in Vietnam and extends its reach globally through exports.

The company is ambitiously working towards its goal of cutting its carbon footprint in half by 2028. Additionally, NEXTEVO plans to broaden its scope by incorporating other sustainable natural fibers in the foreseeable future.

Organic Cotton Accelerator Launches In Turkey

ISTANBUL, Turkey — June 25, 2024 — The Organic Cotton Accelerator (OCA) proudly announces its launch in Türkiye, marking a significant step in uniting players across the organic cotton value chain in this key production country. OCA will deliver its transformative programme designed to support local organic cotton farmers and those interested in transitioning, thereby scaling the global supply of organic cotton. To highlight the launch, OCA is hosting a stakeholder event in Istanbul this week, bringing together key players to discuss the future of organic cotton in the country.

As the only multistakeholder initiative dedicated to organic cotton, convening close to 60 organisations, OCA will act in Türkiye as a dedicated enabler, focusing on capacity building and empowering farmers with essential knowledge to adopt organic agricultural practices. By leveraging its eight years’ experience at the farm level in India and recent work in Pakistan—where it works with more than 100,000 farmers across both countries—OCA is committed to helping create the right conditions for farmers to manage a thriving organic business within Türkiye’s agricultural context.

“We are excited to kick off our work in Türkiye with our partners,” said Bart Vollaard, OCA’s Executive Director. “This marks a significant step in OCA’s commitment to scaling organic cotton globally. As OCA, we connect key players, including farmers, ginners, brands, retailers and civil society organisations, to create market linkages and robust support systems for farmers. To accelerate the growth of organic cotton production, OCA is creating a transparent, responsible, and resilient organic cotton supply chain. One that prioritises farmer prosperity and enables all stakeholders to achieve their sustainability goals. I am thrilled we can offer that support in Türkiye now, and invite all interested partners to join us on our mission.”

Before launching in Türkiye, OCA has adapted its approach to the local realities, supported by a thorough understanding of the organic business case for Turkish farmers and market insights. OCA’s first local partnerships resulted in the launch of four projects together with 48 farmers. These projects guarantee upfront procurement agreements and premium payments to farmers, while fostering a supportive community of like-minded organic cotton producers.

Through the promotion and facilitation of regenerative and organic agricultural practices, OCA ensures that cotton farmers can adopt methods that enhance soil health, biodiversity, and overall ecosystem resilience, leading to more sustainable farming. This commitment includes long-term engagements that align with the specific needs of the Turkish cotton farming community. OCA’s systems are designed to uphold high standards of integrity while providing farmers with a compelling business rationale to adopt and maintain organic practices.

“Organic cotton not only enriches our soil and environment but also provides us with better market opportunities and fair prices,” said Bünyamin Çam one of the farmers working with OCA in Türkiye. “It’s a sustainable path that benefits our community and future generations. We look forward to working with the Organic Cotton Accelerator as we increase our organic cotton production.”

Recognising Türkiye as the world’s second-largest organic cotton producer, OCA aims to accelerate organic cotton production while increasing the visibility of Turkish organic farmers in the global value chain. Its approach is specifically tailored to fit local conditions, addressing farm sizes, economic considerations for farmers, and prevalent management practices. OCA’s efforts are particularly focused on South-Eastern Anatolia and the Aegean region, areas known for their long history of organic production.

OCA’s approach in Türkiye and globally relies on listening to stakeholders and collaboratively developing solutions. By engaging with farmers, suppliers and manufacturers, brands, and other stakeholders, OCA ensures that its initiatives are well-informed and effectively address the needs and challenges of the local organic cotton community.

Bringing together dozens of key organisations from actors in the country, on June 25, OCA is hosting its first stakeholder event in Türkiye. This event will showcase perspectives and experiences from farmers, suppliers, manufacturers, and global brands to underscore and advocate for the importance and potential of organic cotton in the country. Featuring a blend of presentations, panel sessions, and interactive dialogues, attendees will benefit from comprehensive insights and expertise on the organic cotton market in Türkiye.

“Being a partner in the Organic Cotton Accelerator programme in Türkiye has enabled us to support farmers in adopting sustainable practices while securing high-quality organic cotton for our products. This collaboration strengthens the entire supply chain and contributes to a healthier planet,” said a representative of Çalık Cotton, one of OCA’s partners in the country.

OCA welcomes actors from across the value chain to join this transformative journey in Türkiye. Together, we can support farmers transitioning to organic cotton and ensure sustainable growth for the organic cotton sector.

GENEVA, Switzerland — June 25, 2024 — SGS, a global testing, inspection and certification company, has awarded textile manufacturer ARCH the SGS Green Mark for its Magnif-ECO® Recycled Fiber.

With its mission to create a better future through sustainable textile innovation, ARCH sought SGS Green Mark certification to verify that its innovative new material is created from 100% post-consumer plastic water bottles; and demonstrate to consumers that its environmental claims can be trusted.

ARCH Textiles showroom in Shanghai

Eric Wang, Global Deputy Technical Head, Softlines at SGS said: “We applaud the advances ARCH has made in developing new and innovative fibers and processes that increase the use of recycled content and we are delighted to award Magnif-ECO the SGS Green Mark.

“It is heartening to see our certification increasingly relied upon by manufacturers, brands and retailers to demonstrate the sustainability of their products and supply chains. Ultimately it enables a growing tide of environmentally conscious consumers to be better informed on the impacts of their purchases and to make greener choices.”

In addition to wholly utilising PET bottles, Magnif-ECO Recycled Fiber is melted with FiberDNA® tracer technology to enable suppliers to identify a genuine Magnif-ECO product at any point in the supply chain. Through onsite audits, document reviews and sample testing, SGS was able to determine and verify the product’s recycled content in accordance with ISO 14021. SGS also developed a bespoke testing scheme to verify the effectiveness of the FiberDNA tracer.

ARCH Textiles Lab in Shanghai

Edgar Xie, Chief Executive Officer, ARCH Textiles Manufacture Corp said: “We are proud to have gained an SGS Green Mark for our innovative Magnif-ECO recycled fiber. This signifies another step towards establishing a global reputation as a socially responsible company at the cutting edge of sustainable textile innovation.”

ARCH can now display the SGS Green Mark on its Magnif-ECO® Recycled Fiber and in promotional materials and advertising; demonstrating to consumers that its environmental claims have been independently certified by SGS.

The SGS Green Mark

The SGS Green Mark has been designed to support businesses and brands striving to meet their carbon neutral commitments and respond to rising consumer demands for greener products and services.

Based on recognized standards such as ISO/IEC 17065, ISO/IEC 17029, ISO 14065 and ISO 14021, the SGS Green Mark verifies that products have passed a range of analytical tests to meet specific and quantifiable environmental attributes and claims.

TrusTrace Unveils Upgraded Forced Labor Prevention Solution To Enable Proactive Compliance For Fashion And Textile Supply Chains

STOCKHOLM, Sweden — June 25, 2024 — TrusTrace, a global SaaS company with a market-leading platform for product traceability and supply chain compliance in fashion and retail, today announced the launch of its upgraded AI-powered Forced Labor Prevention (FLP) Solution, which will help brands proactively map out supply chains, screen it for risk, and efficiently gather evidence for regulatory compliance.

“Our comprehensive FLP solution is not just a tool, but a commitment to a world where transparency and ethical practices in supply chains are non-negotiable. Ensuring that forced labor has no place in our global economy is critical, and with our solution, brands can proactively and confidently lead the way in this imperative transformation, instead of merely ensuring they have a solution for the release of detained shipments,” said Shameek Ghosh, CEO of TrusTrace. “With a proactive approach to supply chain data brands can be in the drivers’ seat not only for tackling forced labor but for multiple supply chain challenges, as well as opportunities, something that leading brands are already doing today.”

The Forced Labor Prevention solution uniquely combines the power of AI to manage large quantities of data from complex supply chains with scalable collection of primary data per purchase order, which is screened and validated for risk, ensuring brands have validated evidence at a product and shipment level.

The solution collects primary data directly from suppliers to ensure detailed and reliable information about facilities, products, and materials. The primary data collected through the TrusTrace solution is specific to the context of the traced products, contrary to solutions leveraging third party data, which can introduce large quantities of irrelevant information from various sources, creating ‘noise’ that can obscure critical insights and quickly become unmanageable. TrusTrace has traced more than two million purchase orders to date and has more than 55,000 suppliers and facilities mapped globally, demonstrating the capacity to automate the collection of primary data at very large scale.

The data is proactively screened for risk against the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) entity list, and the solution can integrate with any relevant risk screening database.

AI-Powered Chain of Custody Creation and Document Collection drives speed, accuracy and cost savings, making it quick and easy to gain supply chain visibility and stay on top of documentation for compliance. The FLP solution can classify, extract, and translate large volumes of documents in over 100 languages, facilitating the creation of a digital chain of custody, and transforming traditionally time-consuming manual processes, increasing efficiency, and reducing the likelihood of human error.

15 brands worldwide are already using TrusTrace for forced labor prevention, including Vera Bradley (NYSE: VRA), who see proactive supply chain traceability and data management as key in achieving their ESG commitments.

“At Vera Bradley, our commitment to sourcing responsibly is at the core of our business practices,” said Director of Global Sourcing Ayfer Yarcich. “Mapping our supply chain and gathering purchase order data is a critical step in this journey. By integrating TrusTrace’s upgraded FLP solution, we are not only working towards a transparent and forced labor-free supply chain but also aspiring to set a new standard in responsible and sustainable business practices. This transformative step underscores our dedication to our public ESG commitments and our vision of leading the industry towards a more ethical and sustainable future.”

The Forced Labor Prevention Solution has helped Vera Bradley achieve granular visibility into their supply chain, allowing the brand to ensure compliance with standards and regulations.

“Meeting varying data reporting requirements can be challenging for brands,” added Ghosh. “TrusTrace has created a comprehensive solution with a flexible framework that collects all relevant traceability data points, so brands can consolidate data collection to comply with multiple current and future regulations. Spending less time and resources on compliance then frees up valuable time to focus on driving new business opportunities and – ultimately – impact.”
