Dear Sir / Madam,
Messe Frankfurt
Discover next-generation sustainable textile solutions at Intertextile Apparel this August
 
Unique, sustainable, cutting-edge products set to change the future of textiles

With just about one month to go until the fair, one of the key spotlights will fall on next-generation natural, bio-based and recycled textile solutions that support the apparel industry’s evolving sustainable development goals. As brands and manufacturers continue to look beyond petroleum-based inputs amid rising oil prices, the search for viable alternative materials has become increasingly urgent. In response to this growing demand, visitors can explore a range of eco-focused initiatives across Intertextile Apparel, including Econogy Hub, the fair’s dedicated platform for sustainable sourcing and innovation.
