Avalo Selected By The International Research Centre on Artificial Intelligence (IRCAI) And AWS For 2025 Compute For Climate Fellowship

DURHAM, N.C. — July 10, 2025 — Avalo, a Rapid Crop Evolution company, today announced it has been selected as a fellow in the 2025 cohort of the Compute for Climate Fellowship. Launched by International Research Centre on Artificial Intelligence (IRCAI) and Amazon Web Services (AWS), the Compute for Climate Fellowship is a global program offering climate tech startups fully-funded proof of concepts using advanced cloud computing to tackle some of the most complex challenges related to the climate crisis.

This opportunity will support Avalo’s efforts to unlock the full genetic potential of crop plants like cotton, sugarcane and rubber. Their Rapid Evolution Platform™ leverages AI and machine learning to deeply understand the genetics of these crops in order to more quickly and affordably develop varieties with more sustainable and efficient traits.

“Biology is built on networks — genes, tissues, and organs all interacting with each other to form a complex whole,” said Mariano Alvarez, Avalo’s chief science officer. “This is exactly the type of mathematical framework that machine learning excels at, but biology is orders of magnitude more complex than other data types and requires much more computing power to disentangle. The Compute for Climate Fellowship gives us this computing power on demand to be able to understand and unlock the resilient traits hidden inside of plant genomes.”

Each selected startup will engage in a 2 to 3 month build with one-on-one guidance from technical experts and AWS credits to cover the AWS service costs of the build. Both IRCAI and AWS will provide selected startups with a team of mentors who are experts in AI, sustainability, and ethics. Startups will also gain access to advanced computing services, such as quantum computing, high-performance computing (HPC), artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML), and generative AI.

“The intersection of climate innovation and AI is no longer theoretical–it’s happening now, and it’s reshaping what’s possible, ” said Jon Jones, vice president and Global head of Startups at AWS.

“This fellowship is about fueling this momentum by backing solutions with the potential to drive systemic change, whether it’s advancing breakthroughs in clean energy and carbon capture, monitoring ecosystems and infrastructure at scale, or reimagining agriculture and manufacturing for a zero-waste future. At AWS, we’re committed to giving these startups the tools, compute power, and support they need to scale their impact and accelerate progress where it matters most.”

Tonello And Pacific Jeans Celebrate A Shared Milestone: The 10,000th Machine

SARCEDO, Italy — July 9, 2025 — A meaningful chapter in the long-standing relationship between Tonello and Pacific Jeans is being written with the delivery of Tonello’s 10,000th machine: a moment marked not by numbers alone, but by the journey behind them.

The partnership began in the early 1990s, when Pacific Jeans’ visionary founder, M. Nasir Uddin, recognized the potential of innovation to transform garment production in Bangladesh. At a time when the denim industry in Asia was still emerging, Pacific Jeans became the first company in the region to adopt Tonello technologies, starting with a G1 360 machine. That early collaboration, between Uddin and Flavio Tonello, opened a new path, setting a standard for excellence and forward-thinking that would inspire an entire market.

Today, the relationship continues through the next generation. Syed M. Tanvir and Syed M. Tahmir, sons of Nasir, have carried the family’s vision forward, working alongside Ms. Alice Tonello and the Tonello team to strengthen and expand a partnership built on shared values: a spirit of exploration, innovation, and responsibility. Over the decades, the collaboration has grown not only at a professional level but also through a bond of mutual trust and respect between two families.

“This 10,000th machine symbolizes more than a production milestone,” said Alice Tonello, R&D and marketing director. “It reflects decades of collaboration, during which we’ve grown and learned together, always driven by a common curiosity to anticipate trends and embrace new challenges.”

The new machine, heading to Pacific Jeans’ facilities, integrates Tonello’s latest responsible and digital innovations. Yet, while technologies have evolved, the heart of the relationship remains unchanged: a shared commitment to shaping the future of responsible garment production.

On this occasion, Mr. Syed M. Tanvir, Managing Director of Pacific Jeans, shared his reflections: “My father, Mr. M. Nasir Uddin, was a visionary entrepreneur who pioneered premium jeans manufacturing in Bangladesh. In the early 90s, he recognized the value of Tonello’s G1 360 and introduced advanced laundry technology when few could imagine it.

Our partnership with Tonello grew over time, rooted in shared values of innovation, excellence, and quality. Both companies are driven by the pursuit of smarter, more sustainable laundry solutions for the apparel industry.

Tonello’s commitment to advancing washing technology is inspiring. Together, we combine our strengths to offer cutting-edge solutions that reduce environmental impact and promote responsibility toward people and the planet.

When market demands shift, Tonello responds quickly with innovative solutions, aligning with our strategy to adopt eco-friendly, efficient technologies that shape the future of the industry.

Receiving Tonello’s 10,000th machine is a proud milestone — symbolizing our growth, shared vision, and the incredible journey we’ve had together.”

This milestone is not just a celebration of history, but a quiet tribute to the visionaries who saw beyond their time, and to the generations who continue to build on that foundation with care, resilience, and imagination.

NEW YORK CITY — July 9, 2025 — Carnegie, a provider of sustainable textiles and acoustical management solutions for the commercial industry, is proud to announce six new Xorel products, a part of the new Studio Collection. This collection reflects Carnegie’s 75-year legacy, drawing on the deep experience, craftsmanship, and forward-thinking design that have become hallmarks of the brand, shaping its journey along the way.

It’s a celebration of what sets us apart at Carnegie: creating a design system where innovation meets artistry, and excellence takes center stage,” said Heather Bush, Chief Creative Officer at Carnegie. “Our inspiration came from motifs that whisper rather than shout—subtle, timeless, and imbued with a refined, enduring elegance. As the exclusive designer and manufacturer of Xorel with decades of expertise in jacquard weaving, embroidery, and embossing, Carnegie Xorel continues to push the boundaries of textile innovation.”

All patterns are entirely finish-free, bleach-cleanable, and inherently antimicrobial, achieved without the use of added coatings or topical treatments.

Marking this anniversary, Carnegie proudly celebrates a legacy built on the relentless pursuit of innovation, enduring partnerships, and the belief that sustainability and performance should never be at odds. The Studio Collection is the culmination of this journey—an embodiment of Carnegie’s values and vision for the future. The entire collection is 100% free of harmful chemicals, including PVC, PFAS, chlorine, formaldehyde, heavy metals, ozone-depleting chemicals, and plasticizers. HPDs are available for every product.

Since 1950, Carnegie has pushed the boundaries of what’s possible, proving time and again that high-performance solutions can also be elegant and environmentally sound. As the only B-Corp-certified textile manufacturer in the U.S. and proudly 100% PVC-free since day one, Carnegie leads the industry in service to its mission: to galvanize the design community to build a better future with materials that matter.

NRF: Import Cargo Levels Expected To Rebound In July But Drop Again After Tariff Delay Ends

WASHINGTON — July 9, 2025 — Import cargo volume at the nation’s major container ports is expected to rebound this month after a double-digit drop in late spring but is forecast to fall again after previously paused tariffs take effect, according to the Global Port Tracker report released today by the National Retail Federation and Hackett Associates.

“The tariff situation remains highly fluid and retailers are working hard to stock up for the holiday season before the various tariffs that have been announced and paused actually take effect,” NRF Vice President for Supply Chain and Customs Policy Jonathan Gold said. “Retailers have brought in as much merchandise as possible ahead of the reciprocal tariffs taking effect, and the latest extension to Aug. 1 is greatly appreciated. Nonetheless, uncertainty over tariffs makes it increasingly difficult for retailers to plan, especially small businesses that have no capacity to absorb tariffs. Tariffs are paid by U.S. companies, not foreign countries or businesses, and ultimately drive up prices for American families while impacting the availability of products. It is vital for the administration to finalize negotiations with our trading partners and provide stability and certainty for U.S. retailers.”

President Trump on Monday signed an executive order delaying “reciprocal” tariffs until Aug. 1 but also announced tariffs of up to 40 percent on more than a dozen countries. The president has indicated he will send out additional letters to other countries. There are also questions about what happens with tariffs on China tariffs in August even though a deal was recently signed.

“A flurry of tariff-related announcements from the Trump administration has only served to further increase supply chain uncertainty,” Hackett Associates Founder Ben Hackett said. “The global supply chain functions best in a trade environment that is smooth and predictable. Instead, it has been forced to contend with erratic policies and geopolitical volatility.”

U.S. ports covered by Global Port Tracker handled 1.95 million Twenty-Foot Equivalent Units — one 20-foot container or its equivalent — in May, the latest month for which final data is available. That was down a sharp 11.8 percent from April and down 6.4 percent year over year. It was also the first year-over-year decline since September 2023 and the lowest volume since 1.93 million TEU in May 2024.

Ports have not yet reported numbers for June, but Global Port Tracker projected the month at 2.06 million TEU, up 5.9 percent from May but down 3.7 percent year over year. July is forecast at 2.36 million TEU, up 2.1 percent year over year; August at 2.08 million TEU, down 10.4% year over year, and September at 1.82 million TEU, down 19.9 percent year over year for the lowest monthly total since 1.87 million TEU in December 2023. October is forecast at 1.81 million TEU, down 19.2 percent year over year, and November at 1.7 million TEU, down 21.3 percent for the lowest total since 1.78 million TEU in April 2023. While the falling aggregative totals in August through November are related to tariffs, the large year-over-year percentage declines are partly because imports in late 2024 were elevated due to concerns about East Coast and Gulf Coast port strikes.

The current forecast would bring the first half of 2025 to 12.63 million TEU, up 4.5 percent year over year. That’s better than the 12.54 million TEU forecast last month, but still below the 12.78 million TEU forecast earlier this year before the April tariffs announcement.

ADLINGTON, England — July 8, 2025 — Global workwear textile manufacturer Carrington Textiles, part of RTS Textiles Group, has published its second annual sustainability report, marking one year since the group launched its first edition in July 2024. The publication showcases progress in environmental performance and sustainable innovation across the group.

The report reflected a pivotal year for RTS Textiles Group, formed in early 2025 through the consolidation of RTS Textiles Ltd. with its long-standing joint venture partners TMG in Portugal and STM in Pakistan. This unification brought the businesses under full ownership as a single group, with all parties becoming shareholders and creating a global organization with more than 130 million meters of annual production capacity and operations spanning the United Kingdom, mainland Europe and Asia.

Carrington Textiles highlights group progress in latest sustainability report- Photo- MGC Portugal

Across its facilities, the group reported measurable environmental achievements. At Carrington Textiles International (CTi) in Pakistan, they invested 3.4 million euros in a state-of-the-art Effluent Treatment Plant to enhance water treatment capacity. The site also reduced CO2 emissions by more than 20,000 tonnes, reclaimed 95 percent of caustic soda through its recovery plant and sourced 98 percent of steam consumption from biomass boilers.

In the UK, Pincroft generated 68 percent of its electricity through Combined Heat and Power (CHP) and transitioned 100 percent of its purchased electricity to renewable sources, supported by REGO certification.

The Group also strengthened its sustainable product offering with the addition of technologies and fibers like Sorona®, alongside its ongoing commitment to Better Cotton, REPREVE® recycled polyester, organic cotton, TENCEL™ and CiCLO®.

John Vareldzis, RTS Textiles CEO, said: “The progress detailed in this report highlights the commitment across all our businesses to drive positive change. From decarbonising operations to pioneering sustainable materials, we continue to challenge ourselves to lead with responsibility and innovation.”

First ITMA Sustainability Forum To Feature European Commission Keynote Speaker

SINGAPORE— July 8, 2025 — In response to mounting global regulations and the push for a circular economy, CEMATEX (the European Committee of Textile Machinery Manufacturers) is launching ITMA Sustainability Forum: Accelerating the Green Transition on October 30 at Singapore Expo.

The half-day forum is designed to help textile and garment manufacturers, particularly from South and Southeast Asia and the Middle East, navigate the European Union’s evolving sustainability regulations, and access to green financing opportunities to support their transition.

Held alongside ITMA ASIA + CITME, Singapore 2025, the forum brings together EU policymakers, financial institutions, and industry leaders to facilitate cross-border dialogue and knowledge exchange.

Alex Zucchi, president, CEMATEX, said: “Sustainability has become a global priority. The textile industry must act swiftly to modernize production in line with regulatory demands and growing consumer expectations. This forum provides a much-needed platform for manufacturers to better understand the EU’s legislative landscape and the financing tools available for sustainable growth.”

A key highlight of the forum will be the keynote presentation by Kristin Schreiber, director, European Commission DG GROW. She will provide a comprehensive overview of the EU’s sustainability roadmap and upcoming regulations driving the shift towards circular textile production.

Schreiber said: “South and Southeast Asia are vital players in the global textile value chain. Many producers in these regions export to the European market, and their ability to align with upcoming requirements will be critical to a successful and inclusive transition. I look forward to exchanging perspectives at this forum on how we can collaborate globally to build a more sustainable and resilient textile industry.”

Under the EU Strategy for Sustainable and Circular Textiles, by 2030, all textiles placed on the EU market must be durable, recyclable, largely made from recycled fibers and free from hazardous substances. Manufacturers worldwide must act now to meet these requirements and remain competitive.

Filo At Milano Unica With “Made in Filo”

BIELLA, Italy — July 8, 2025 — From July 8-10, 2025, Filo is at Milano Unica, the exhibition reserved for high-end fabrics and accessories for apparel industry at Fiera Milano Rho.

Filo’s participation in MU aims to emphasize the key role of an integrated and cohesive supply chain to ensure both quality and innovation in the textile/apparel industry.

The space dedicated to Filo is located in Hall 4 at Fiera Milano Rho, which also hosts the “Innovation Area” and “MU Sustainability Trends,” and aims at confirming the objective continuity that connects the two Exhibitions as given by the supply chain, and brought to light through the focus they both dedicate on common themes, primarily innovation and sustainable textile production.

In July 2025, Filo is participating in Milano Unica with “Made in Filo,” a collection of fabric samples made by Filo itself. The initiative represents a totally new element in the context of textile trade fairs and involves all players operating in the textile supply chain participating in Filo as exhibitors: not only spinning, but also dyeing, ennobling, finishing, embroidery and weaving shown by its exhibitors. The aim is to highlight the great possibilities for yarn and product developments, also thanks to high quality and high technical content processing.

According to Paolo Monfermoso, manager of Filo: “Through “Made in Filo,” Filo has launched an ambitious project: we have gone to production. As an Exhibition, we have decided to offer a path that begins with the idea of yarns (our product development proposals), then becomes yarns (our exhibitors’ proposals) and, thanks to skillful processing carried out by our partners, it finally turns into a collection of fabrics, that is our “Made in Filo” capsule collection, the real expression of those initial textile ideas. It is the “closing of the circle” of a path that fully captures the great potential for the development of excellent materials and processes such as those exhibited at Filo, and which will be shown at the 64th Filo edition, scheduled on the 23rd and the 24th of September, at Fiera Milano Rho, Hall 14.”

We look forward to seeing you in Filo’s area in Hall 4 of Milano Unica from 8 to10 July!
