Renewcell, ZARA Collaborate To Create A Capsule Collection Made From Material Produced With Circulose®

STOCKHOLM, Sweden — August 4, 2022 — Zara, the global fashion brand and part of Inditex Group, is partnering with Renewcell for a capsule collection made with Circulose®, a branded material produced from 100-percent recycled textiles.

Circulose, developed by Renewcell, is a biodegradable raw material used to produce textile fibers for fashion like viscose and lyocell. Fibers produced with Circulose help brands to limit the use of virgin textile fibers, reducing the climate and environmental impact caused by raw material production and waste.

“Zara is one of the largest fashion brands in the world, a testament to its power to influence real change within the industry. Collaborations with such global brands, bring our vision to change fashion at scale to life, and our rapid growth would not be possible without partners like Zara joining this shift. We are delighted to reveal this collection made with Circulose as the latest step in our ongoing collaboration.” said Patrik Lundström, CEO of Renewcell.

Soon operating at commercial scale in their new plant in Sundsvall, Sweden, the 100-percent textile-to-textile recycled material Circulose by Renewcell continues to save waste from landfills by creating value through circular supply chains with brands around the world, now with Zara.

For Zara, this collaboration is part of Inditex’s Sustainability Innovation Hub, an open-innovation platform. The aim is to work alongside start-ups, academic institutions, and tech centers to promote and scale initiatives developing new materials, technologies and processes that reduce the environmental footprint of fashion and help advance towards more sustainable production.

The collection made with Circulose is available beginning August 4 at www.zara.com.

Lifestyle Rubix © Jason Varney

BURLINGTON, N.C. — July 27, 2022 — Sunbrella and United Fabrics have unveiled Modern Art, their third joint-contract upholstery collection to help design professionals discover new opportunities for contemporary commercial spaces. Featuring 32 new durable, soft and bleach-cleanable fabrics in a range of bold colors and playful patterns, Modern Art is designed to complement the Origins and Reflections collections, as well as other fabrics within the Sunbrella Contract portfolio.

“Art, expressionism and creativity are central to the design landscape,” said Greg Voorhis, executive design director at Sunbrella. “This Modern Art collection is a celebration of color and artistic creativity and is meant to inspire countless design possibilities. We’re proud to once again partner with the United team to provide soft and comfortable fabrics with the added durability required for commercial spaces.”

Inspired by iconic art styles that pushed boundaries, this new collection is informal yet spirited, with fabrics that demonstrate how color and pattern can evoke a sense of playfulness and creativity within a space. These textiles are engineered with durability and stain resistance to hold their vibrant color even in high-traffic spaces.

“Modern Art inspires creativity and artistic exploration. It was a pleasure to partner with Sunbrella on our third contract upholstery collection together and our intent was to honor the role that Modern Art plays in the design world and in our everyday lives,” said Lindsey Josepayt, director of design and marketing at United Fabrics. “The patterns in the collection were inspired by richly saturated color field paintings, the bold use of graphic shapes in pop art and, of course, gestural mark-making in abstract expressionism. This collection invokes designers to make a statement with not just the art on the wall but the functional design of the furniture in a space.”

Standout patterns from the collection include:

  • Jackson – Inspired by the process of putting paintbrush to canvas, this dynamic brushstroke pattern captures the energy and emotion of an abstract expressionist composition.

E.U.-India Free Trade Negotiations: An Opportunity To Rebalance Trade Relations And Promote A Global Sustainable Textile Industry

BRUSSELS — August 4, 2022 — Today’s trade relations between the E.U. and India in textiles and clothing are characterized by a large and systemic trade deficit for the E.U.; annual imports from India exceed 6 billion euros (2021) – making it the 4th supplier — while E.U. exports to India reached just half a billion — the 20th place in our export markets.

Against this background, the free trade negotiations are an opportunity to rebalance that relationship; European textile and clothing companies can offer high quality and innovative products for the Indian market, but they can also offer solutions to reduce the environmental footprint of the textile industry.

EURATEX, as the voice of textiles and apparel manufacturers in Europe, supports an ambitious E.U. trade agenda, that puts reciprocity, transparency, fair competition and equal rules at the centre of its action. The FTA is an opportunity to establish a more sustainable and fair trading system, based on rules, global environmental and social standards, which are effectively respected by all.

In this context, EURATEX highlights that the sector needs open and efficient markets, but combined with effective controls where necessary, thus ensuring level playing field for European companies. It is clearly essential that the same level of market access to India — both in terms of tariff and non-tariff barriers — is available to E.U. producers as vice versa.

India today benefits from reduced customs duties due to GSP. For European companies instead, market access to India is challenging, facing non-tariff barriers (related to proof of origin, quality control procedures, etc.) as well as national or state-level support programs which distort the level playing field between E.U. and Indian companies.

That level playing field should also apply to our sustainability targets. As the E.U. will roll out its E.U. Textile Strategy, setting ambitious standards and restrictions (e.g. on chemicals), we must ensure the FTA is fully aligned with that strategy.

Director General Dirk Vantyghem commented: “We look to these negotiations with great interest. The FTA is an opportunity to develop a shared ambition between the European and Indian industry to make sustainable textiles the norm, and to create a regulatory framework where our companies can compete in a free and fair environment.”

NNT And Polygiene Team Up To Create New Frontline Workwear Uniforms For Health Professionals

MALMÖ, Sweden — August 4, 2022 — If you work in a high-pressure environment, you want to feel fresh and comfortable. When it’s a medical or care workplace, the added advantage of clothing that’s not just smart but also inhibits bacterial growth is obvious. To tick all these boxes, NNT and Polygiene have teamed up to create a new range of protective uniforms and scrubs for health professionals.

The new workwear, marketed under the Workwear Group logo, incorporates Polygiene’s innovative StayFresh™ technology. StayFresh specifically works to inhibit the growth of odor-causing bacteria in fabric. Polygiene’s principle of “Wear more. Wash less” means that treated garments can be washed less frequently, saving time, water, and energy.

This not only reduces the use of valuable resources but also cuts the number of potential pollutants released into the environment, such as detergents and microfibres from the clothes themselves. It also prolongs the garment’s life, creating more sustainable work wear that lasts longer, has less bacterial load even after repeated wearing, and smells fresher.

How does it work?

Polygiene StayFresh uses a patented silver salt solution that’s been tested rigorously by independent laboratories for its safety and effectiveness. It’s anti-microbial and inhibits the growth of odor-causing bacteria. As it’s incorporated into the garments during the manufacturing process, it keeps on working for the lifetime of the garment.

The results are scrubs and uniforms that give the wearer personal confidence and all-day freshness but that don’t cost the earth in energy or resources. The potential for expansion into other areas is substantial, and both Polygiene and NNT see the advantages of a wide range of uniforms and workwear going forward.

Polygiene’s proven track record

Polygiene’s proven track record in creating effective antimicrobial and anti-odor technology has encouraged NNT to partner up with the Scandinavian company.

”NNT is proud to partner with Polygiene, a trusted global brand used by fashion brands all over the world, for use on our scrubs fabrics,” commented NNT Senior Designer Ann Morgan. “We chose them because the durability of the Polygiene finish has been tested and proven to last for 100 washes, plus it’s bluesign® approved, meaning that it’s more environmentally conscious. It’s aligned with our company values for ethical and social responsibility,” she adds.

A bright future

The new range of workwear is already available within the Workwear Group portfolio under the brand NNT Uniforms. It includes NNT Next-Gen Active Scrubs, NNT Vital Scrubs, and NNT Petal Print ranges. Uptake on these ranges is predicted to grow considerably over the next 12 months. In the last six months, orders have already reached an impressive 300,000 units.

NNT has been on the frontline of uniform manufacturing since 1962, working alongside frontline workers. They take real pride in designing uniforms created using the input of the people who wear them every day.

Evolution that combines fashion and function

Today, NNT partners with many organizations ranging from some of the world’s best-known brands through to small businesses. As a result, the NNT collection continues to evolve to help even more organizations succeed with a compelling combination of fashion and function.

“We are proud to partner with NNT to grow our offering within the WWG portfolio, a respected global provider, of high quality and performance workwear”, shares Ulrika Björk, Polygiene CEO. Björk continues, “The added value of Polygiene StayFresh performance in these scrubs will provide the frontline in the healthcare industry the confidence of a hygienic uniform as well as confidence in a fresh uniform when in a public arena. We look forward to continuing to grow our partnership in the seasons to come.”

Tonello Presents EVOLUTION 3, The Latest Generation Of Washing And Dyeing Machines

SARCEDO, Italy  — August 3, 2022 — Evolution 3, the new generation of Tonello’s signature washing and dyeing machines, is the amazing fruit of years of research, experimentation and continuous improvement.

The goal of Evolution 3 is simply excellence.

All the innovations implemented in Evolution 3 washing machines further reduce water and energy consumption, increase productivity, and lower energy and maintenance costs.

And without compromising on performance, because balancing these needs is critical in an increasingly competitive and sustainability-conscious market. And it makes all the difference.

Beyond Beauty, First-Class Technical Content

In the Evolution 3, the tried-and-tested machine construction allows for maximum optimization of water use during each type of process, as well as huge energy savings provided by several improvements:

  • The new high-efficiency motors are built with materials that reduce losses and consumption and increase overall machine efficiency;
  • The optimized transmission with new high-efficiency belts absorbs less energy and promotes greater durability and wear resistance than previous models; the machine is also more compact;
  • We improved the entire transmission system to achieve greater energy savings than conventional systems;
  • With the new inverters, we have perfected motor control, reducing vibration and stress; and
  • The tropicalized electronic boards are more reliable and withstand better even when placed in the more “harsh” environments of the laundry and dyeing plant.

Thanks to these improvements, Tonello’s Evolution 3 line of washing and dyeing machines enable energy savings of up to 20 percent compared to previous models, reduce overall operating costs and contribute to greater competitiveness in an increasingly unpredictable market.

In addition, the improvements cover the entire range (high, medium and low-speed machines).

In short, with Evolution 3, the iconic Tonello quality rises to the next level. In fact, there is no washing machine on the market today that has better total-cost ownership than the Tonello washing machine.

Premium Materials And Even More Advanced Production Systems: For Greater Durability And Wear Resistance

Designed for maximum performance, all machines in the Evolution 3 line are built with the best stainless steels: AISI 316L, for example, is used in the most critical applications, in internal parts in contact with the bath, and in all electrical cabinets, resulting in increased resistance to corrosion and wear.

Quality, strength and durability are also favored by drum welds made by a high-precision anthropomorphic robot on an automated station.

The entire Evolution 3 range is designed to be flexible and further improvable in the future (because, remember, Tonello machines do not age, they evolve).

In fact, they are prepared for the installation of accessory technologies and kits — such as OBleach, Core, UP, NoStone®, N2, Wake — and, of course, Metro and Mago Site Manager software programs.

In addition, the new more compact design offers greater adaptability and ease of placement and integration in the laundry and dyeing plant.

In summary, Here Are The Main Advantages Of The New Evolution 3:

  • New performance motors that increase overall efficiency;
  • New high-efficiency belts that optimize transmission;
  • Improved overall transmission system, resulting in energy savings;
  • Significant water savings ensured by a low bath ratio (LR 3:1/2:1);
  • Tropicalized electronic boards;
  • Welding by high-precision robots;
  • Easily implemented and upgradable washing machines; and
  • Increased reliability, safety and solidity.

Winning designs from the “RECO Young Designer Competition”

BANGKOK, Thailand — August 3, 2022 — Indorama Ventures Public Co. Ltd. (IVL), a global sustainable chemical producer, named the winners of “RECO Young Designer Competition” — Thailand’s largest upcycling fashion design event, parading haute couture garments containing at least 60-percent recycled materials.

Eleven finalists showcased 33 handmade sustainable outfits at the ninth edition of the fashion show at IVL’s headquarters in Bangkok, using recycled PET and polyester items to craft creative fashions. Under the concept of ‘REVIVE: Start from the Street,’ RECO supports young Thai designers while raising awareness of recycling. The designs use a range of recycled materials including recycled PET yarns, discarded fabric from factories, and even repurposed safety belts.

RECO awarded finalists and winners with 500,000 baht in prizes to support their careers. First prize of 125,000 baht was awarded to 23-year-old emerging furniture designer Prem Buachum for his “The Origin of Rebirth” collection, using fabric recycled from post-consumer PET bottles. The first runner-up, Sathitkhun Boonmee, was awarded 75,000 baht for his “Remembering Your Favorite Teddy Bear” collection, using old dolls made of polyester fibers. Second runners-up, Worameth Monthanom and Tanakorn Sritong, received 50,000 baht for their “Regeneration of Nature (into Spring)” collection, using unused fabrics and discarded PET film. Napat Tansuwan, a finalist with his “Don’t Judge” collection, will go on to create designer merchandise for sponsor Buriram United Football Club using local weaving techniques from communities in Buriram province.

Aradhana Lohia Sharma, vice president at Indorama Ventures and RECO Young Designer Competition Chairperson, said: “Since 2011, RECO’s ambition has been to uplift recycling and inspire people to realize the value of recyclable materials to produce great new products for daily life. We have witnessed many thoughtful initiatives on upcycling through the collections created by our talented young Thai designers. The designs this year showcase stunning wearability and innovation while using a large percentage of recycle materials. Public interest in recycling has been growing immensely, and we are grateful to strengthen the relationship with partners like Buriram United Football Club.”

Sharma added: “Indorama Ventures hopes this competition will be a driving force in nurturing sustainable fashion concepts and increasing the acceptance of recycled materials, especially post-consumer PET. We are proud to be a stepping-stone for our youth’s design journey and our community’s sustainable future.”

Chidchanok Chidchob, director of Merchandise Department, Buriram United Co. Ltd., said: “We are delighted to collaborate with IVL on the RECO project, which is inspirational and drives sustainability-conscious living. We have seen the next generation of designers taking advantage of this initiative to create innovative ideas, support sustainability, raise awareness and make recycling possible. Buriram United is honored to increase awareness of the importance of recycling and protecting our planet.”

First prize winner Buachum wants to establish his own designer brand and textile studio to bring sustainable design into people’s lives and pass on his knowledge to others. “The Big Bang Theory is the inspiration for my collection, and the challenge to use more than 60 percent recycled materials drove my creativity,” Buachum said. “I upcycled scrap brand labels into beautiful cloth, using techniques that added beauty and maximized usability. The weaving process can generate income for local communities and produce a ready-to-wear collection for the broader market. I am honored to be part of RECO and for the positive change it stands for and hope it can change the face of sustainable fashion in Thailand.”
