ISKO presents its SS27 collection at Kingpins Amsterdam, highlighting new developments in fabric innovation that bring together denim heritage and forward-looking design. Through unique fiber blends, summer denim is redefined by unprecedented material concepts and responsibly engineered fabrics. 
    

  • Mechanica: a mono-material stretch concept delivering real elasticity through construction alone, made entirely from organic and recycled cotton, without synthetics. 
  • Wondersoft: fabrics offering superior softness and comfort, crafted for a premium handfeel. 
  • Lightweights: special fiber blends combining durability and breathability for summer wear. 
  • Authentik: preserves the true denim look while adding wearability for everyday comfort. 
  • Contemporary: expressive, character-driven constructions using new slubs and twills. 
  • Expanded rigid range: new ring-spun slubs, twills, and textured constructions that enrich denim's natural depth and character. 

To meet evolving consumer demands and market trends, ISKO SS27 explores diverse thematic stories that combine heritage inspiration, contemporary style, and functional innovation: 

  • Heritage: slub-heavy fabrics inspired by '70s workwear and Japanese denim. 
  • Utility: rugged 2/1 constructions and linen wefts for authentic workwear appeal. 
  • Neo Vintage & Y2K: resinized handfeels and nostalgic washdowns for a fashion-forward statement. 
  • Sunbleached: lighter, faded tones and fresh overdyes for seasonal versatility. 

Color is a central element, with sun-faded shades in Sunbleached, grey tones such as Xenon Grey and Blue Stone, and raw, lived-in Dirty Whites. 

The collection further includes developments from ISKO™ Luxury by PG, blending advanced fabric innovation with refined design to bring denim into the luxury space. 

Finally, event-goers get to experience City Glam and D-Lite, two fabric concepts that explore a more fashion-driven approach to color and finishes, giving designers new opportunities to create expressive, contemporary denim while retaining authentic character. 

“SS27 is a clear expression of ISKO’s vision: to align creativity with market performance and sustainability,” said Tayfun Akbay, Chief Commercial Officer at ISKO. “This collection strengthens our offer to brands and designers seeking premium denim with lasting appeal: high-performing, responsibly made and rich in authentic character. Kingpins is where these ideas meet the market and where the next season’s opportunities begin.”

EREMA: Laserfilter weiterentwickelt für hohe Durchsätze im Kunststoffrecycling

Zur K 2025 stellt EREMA eine Innovation der Marke POWERFIL vor und will damit Maßstäbe in der Schmelzefiltration für das Kunststoffrecycling setzen. Der neue Hochleistungsfilter LF 812 weist eine doppelt so große Siebfläche gegenüber dem bisherigen Spitzenmodell LF 406 auf und erweitert die Serie nach oben hin. Neu ist die Integration des bewährten Lock & Change-Systems für den Siebwechsel während des laufenden Betriebs in den Endurance-Filter, der die Vorfiltration stark kontaminierter Inputströme – etwa ungewaschener Materialien – übernimmt.

Neu ist die Integration des bewährten Lock & Change-Systems für den Siebwechsel während des laufenden Betriebs in den Endurance-Filter, der die Vorfiltration stark kontaminierter Inputströme – etwa ungewaschener Materialien – übernimmt. 

„Die Weiterentwicklung unseres Laserfilters ist ein entscheidender Schritt, um den wachsenden Anforderungen an hohe Durchsätze im Kunststoffrecycling bei gleichzeitig höchster Schmelzequalität gerecht zu werden“, sagt Markus Huber-Lindinger, Managing Director bei EREMA. Die um 100 Prozent vergrößerte Siebfläche des neuen Laserfilters LF 812 ermöglicht entweder eine Steigerung der Durchsatzmenge oder bei gleichbleibendem Durchsatz den Einsatz feinerer Siebe, was insbesondere bei qualitätssensitiven Anwendungen von Vorteil ist. Durch die größere Filterfläche ist der Betrieb mit niedrigerem Druck und einer geringeren thermischen Belastung der Schmelze ebenso möglich. 

Maximale Siebfläche, minimaler Platzbedarf
Bis zu 5.000 Kilogramm filtrierte Schmelze pro Stunde sind mit dem neuen Laserfilter in SINGLE-Ausführung möglich. „Als führender Anbieter von Kunststoffrecyclinganlagen setzen wir bei EREMA unsere Erfahrung und unser technisches Know-how gezielt ein, um groß dimensionierte Anlagen mit einer leistungsstarken Filtration in kompakter Bauweise auszurüsten“, betont Markus Huber-Lindinger. Der Laserfilter LF 812 deckt in SINGLE-Ausführung Anwendungen mit Durchsätzen ab, für die bislang mehrere Filtereinheiten notwendig waren. „Durch den beachtlichen Flächenzuwachs ergeben sich neue Spielräume für das Anlagendesign. In vielen Fällen führt dies zu einem geringeren Platzbedarf und einer kompakter ausgelegten Gesamtlösung,“ ergänzt Robert Obermayr, Product Group Manager für POWERFIL bei EREMA. 

Eigenfertigung für höchste Qualität und Versorgungssicherheit
Qualitative Hochleistungsfilter gewinnen im Kunststoffrecycling weiterhin an Bedeutung. Die EREMA Unternehmensgruppe reagiert darauf mit dem gezielten Ausbau der Eigenfertigung der Filterkomponenten bei 3S in Wartberg, einem Schwesterunternehmen von EREMA. Investitionen in neue Fertigungstechnologien und eine eigene Wärmebehandlung erhöhen die Fertigungstiefe und sichern eine konstant hohe Bauteilqualität.

“As the only global professional body in this sector with a Royal Charter, we are driving the industry forward through high-quality events and training courses that equip professionals for the future,” says TI CEO Stephanie Dick. “Together with our Corporate Members, we’re tackling skills gaps, developing practical training solutions and reaching international audiences.”

New industries
“This is an exciting time for the industry, especially with the major opportunities being opened up in new technical textiles for rising industries such as energy and data storage, future mobility and advanced infrastructure,” adds TI President Charles Wood. “Whether you’re a multinational manufacturer or a fast-growing SME, TI offers a neutral, not-for-profit platform where your voice is heard and your ambitions are supported. As we expand our influence across Asia and beyond, we’re inviting new Corporate Members to join us, benefit from our resources and help shape the Institute with their expertise.”

The Textile Institute is ideally positioned to help organisations stay competitive, connected and compliant. From its first foundation in Manchester in 1910, its approach has always been to be “not of Manchester, but international”, and with sections and special interest groups active across the globe, it now serves members in over 60 countries, empowering professionals across every link in the textile supply chain. 

“We are looking forward to exploring new possibilities with as many forward-looking companies as possible at this year’s ITMA Asia+CITME,” concludes Jason Kent.

Reifenhäuser gewinnt German Design Award für neues User Interface

Die Reifenhäuser Gruppe hat auf der K 2025 in Düsseldorf erstmals sein neues unternehmensweites User Interface präsentiert, das eine einheitliche Designsprache für Blasfolien-, Flachfolien- und Vliesstoff- Anlagen sowie eine besonders einfache Bedienung bietet. Das Gesamtkonzept überzeugt auch die Jury des German Design Awards, die das System während der Messe mit dem renommierten Designpreis ausgezeichnet hat. 

In Zeiten des weltweit wachsenden Fachkräftemangels, ist die einfache und intuitive Bedienung von Produktionsanlagen ein entscheidendes Erfolgskriterium. Deshalb hat Reifenhäuser sein Human Maschine Interface (HMI) komplett überarbeitet und eine neue, optisch ansprechende und reaktionsschnelle Lösung vorgestellt. Sie vereint die komplexen und heterogenen Anforderungen unterschiedlicher Extrusionsbereiche in einem flexiblen und skalierbaren System. Reifenhäuser zeigt die neue HMI im Rahmen seines – während der K Messe stattfindenden – Open House an seinen neuen Blas- und Flachfolienanlagen EVO GEN3 und EVEREX.

In response to fashion’s unsustainable linear model of ‘take, make, use, and waste,’ Redress champions a circular economy that takes responsibility for a product’s entire lifecycle and its impact on the planet.

At the heart of its work is the Redress Design Award, a leading sustainable fashion design competition, which has built a global network of over 300 emerging designers pioneering circular and waste-reducing practices. This makes Redress an ideal partner for Source Fashion, as both organisations share a commitment to innovation, education, and driving real-world change in the fashion industry. Together, they are empowering the next generation of designers to reshape fashion’s future through creativity and responsibility.

For Source Fashion January 2026, Redress will select two to three Redress Design Award alumni to headline the catwalk. Their curated showcase will highlight innovation, circular design thinking, and a strong commitment to reducing environmental impact. The dynamic catwalk will run three times a day, offering a visual narrative of how responsible design and creative excellence can join forces to redefine the future of fashion.

“This partnership with Redress marks an exciting next chapter for the Source Fashion catwalk,” says Suzanne Ellingham, Director of Source Fashion. “Redress has been instrumental in nurturing some of the most forward-thinking designers working in sustainability today. Their alumni are proof that creativity and responsibility are not opposing forces, they’re the foundation of fashion’s future. By bringing their work to our stage, we’re giving buyers and brands a glimpse of what truly circular design can look like in practice.”

Christina Dean, Founder of Redress, “Our partnership with Source Fashion creates the perfect stage to show that sustainable fashion isn’t just a passing trend, it’s the future. By putting our Redress Design Award alumni in the spotlight, we’re proving that circular design can be innovative, beautiful, and commercially viable. This partnership is about inspiring the industry and showing that responsibility and creativity go hand in hand.”

Messe Düsseldorf: Strategische Partnerschaft zur Expansion nach Saudi-Arabien

Königlicher Besuch auf der K 2025: Seine Königliche Hoheit Prinz Saud Turki Al-Faisal Al Saud, Vorsitzender der Riyadh Exhibitions Company (REC), hat gemeinsam mit Wolfram N. Diener, Vorsitzender der Geschäftsführung der Messe Düsseldorf, einen weiteren Meilenstein in der engen Zusammenarbeit beider Partner gesetzt. Im Rahmen der Kunststoff- und Kautschukmesse K 2025 bekräftigten beide Seiten mit einem offiziellen Handschlag ihre strategische Kooperation.

Der Handschlag markiert einen weiteren Meilenstein in der internationalen Expansion der Weltleitmessen K, interpack und drupa nach Saudi-Arabien. Dort lässt sich derzeit beobachten, wie dynamisch und vielschichtig sich die Wirtschaft des Mittleren Ostens entwickelt. Die Riyadh Exhibitions Company veranstaltet dort vom 12. bis 15. April 2026 die Fachmessen Saudi Plastics & Petrochem und Saudi Print & Pack mit über 500 ausstellenden Unternehmen aus den Bereichen Petrochemie, Kunststoff-, Druck- und Verpackungsindustrie. Dieses stark wachsende Messequartett, dessen Ausstellerzahl seit 2018 um rund 70 Prozent gestiegen ist, bietet ideale Anknüpfungspunkte für die Messe Düsseldorf.

Dieses stark wachsende Messequartett, dessen Ausstellerzahl seit 2018 um rund 70 Prozent gestiegen ist, bietet ideale Anknüpfungspunkte für die Messe Düsseldorf. 

Die neue Präsenz in Riad ergänzt das bestehende Auslandsportfolio der Messe Düsseldorf – im Bereich Kunststoff und Kautschuk mit der „K Alliance“, im Segment Processing und Packaging mit der „interpack alliance“ sowie im Bereich Print Technologies mit der „drupa alliance“. Ziel der Partnerschaft ist es, an der wachsenden wirtschaftlichen Dynamik im Mittleren Osten aktiv zu partizipieren. Bereits im Frühjahr 2025 hatten beide Partner ihre strategische Zusammenarbeit mit einem Memorandum of Understanding offiziell dokumentiert. 

Zahlreiche Anknüpfungspunkte für das Düsseldorfer Messeportfolio
Wolfram N. Diener, Vorsitzender der Geschäftsführung der Messe Düsseldorf, hebt die Bedeutung dieser Entscheidung hervor: „Wir sind zur richtigen Zeit am richtigen Ort. Mit unserem Engagement in einem Messemarkt, der weltweit am schnellsten wächst, stärken wir unsere Position als eine der international erfolgreichsten Messegesellschaften. Saudi-Arabien und die Vereinigten Arabischen Emirate stellen ihre Wirtschaft immer vielfältiger auf – dadurch ergeben sich zahlreiche Anknüpfungspunkte für unser breites Messeportfolio und neue Potenziale für unsere Kunden.“ Dass die wirtschaftliche Transformation der Region zunehmend internationale Aufmerksamkeit erfährt, zeigte sich auch im hochrangigen Besuch: Seine Exzellenz Bandar bin Ibrahim Al-Khorayef, Minister für Industrie und Bodenschätze Saudi-Arabiens, besucht aktuell die K 2025. Bereits im letzten Jahr hatte er sich auf der drupa 2024 ein Bild vom internationalen Messegeschehen in Düsseldorf gemacht.

Hohes Wirtschaftswachstum im Mittleren Osten
Das spiegelt sich in den Wirtschaftsdaten der Staaten des Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) wider. Deren jährliche Wachstumsrate von sechs Prozent bis 2029 übertrifft dem Beratungsunternehmen jwc zufolge sowohl die der EU (3%) als auch den weltweiten Durchschnitt (5%). 

Auf bestehender Stärke aufbauen: bisherige Schritte in der Region
Bei den aktuellen Neugeschäftsaktivitäten handelt es sich nicht um die ersten Schritte der Messe Düsseldorf in der Region. Seit 2007 besteht eine erfolgreiche Partnerschaft der K mit der ArabPlast in Dubai. Seit 2019 treibt die Messe Düsseldorf ihr Geschäft unter anderem mit den interpack alliance Messen pacprocess MEA und der Food Africa Cairo in Ägypten voran – dem Bindeglied zwischen dem Mittleren Osten und Afrika. Seit 2024 ergänzt außerdem eine neue Tochtergesellschaft das globale Netzwerk der Messe Düsseldorf – in der Türkei, die die Brücke zwischen Europa und dem Mittleren Osten schlägt. Die Offensive in Saudi-Arabien ist nun der nächste folgerichtige Schritt.

Together they worked on the future of Cibutex, as a driver of change in the world of industrial textiles. 
 
If the event proved one thing, it is that a lot of work needs to be done. Further cooperation among members, connections to other industries facing similar challenges and more and better services for the Cibutex members are some of the topics that will be worked on in the near future. At the same time, the Cibutex Team has already started the preparations for the Spring 2026 Event.

Abrasion and pilling testing 
Martindale testing needs little introduction to textile manufacturers, being well established as the industry standard for abrasion and pilling testing since its initial development and introduction by James Heal back in the 1940s.

For 2025, however, James Heal’s development team have taken a fresh look at this classic instrument and the result is the new Martindale Motion.
This redesigned nine-station Martindale instrument with individual lifting heads now offers the flexibility to run each station independently for carrying out different textile tests simultaneously.

Multiple textiles can be tested at the same time through to conclusion without intervention. Once set up, the Martindale Motion can be left running with the sample holders automatically lifting at the required evaluation points, freeing up the operator’s time to do other work without the need to return until the abrasion or pilling test is fully completed, including overnight.

Each sample is kept in-tact at the end point for evaluation and checking, reducing queries on grading and the potential need for re-testing. Further refinements include a new hinged access to change the self-aligning drive pins, allowing quick and safe switching between tests.

Designed and manufactured in the UK, the James Heal Martindale range has seen numerous updates, models and innovations over the years, such as touchscreen and user-friendly software, best-in-class safety features combined with the signature near silent running of this staple lab instrument. Added to this have been the introduction of the DurAbrasion multi-function testing machine, later followed by the market-leading evolution, the AquAbrasion wet abrasion tester launched in 2019.

The Martindale Motion, however, is now taking productivity and efficiency to a higher level than ever before.

Radio frequency drying
Total control of textile drying is meanwhile enabled with the advanced radio freqency (RF) technology of Strayfield, which has over 4,000 installations worldwide and provides solutions tailored to diverse textile applications such as cotton, wool, polyester, nylon, silk, acrylic and speciality blends.

Strayfield technology enables consistent quality, superior output and sustainability benefits through gentle and uniform drying, ensuring even results and moisture removal across entire batches and preserving fibre integrity, colour vibrancy and softness without yellowing or shrinkage.
Adaptive electrodes regulate power delivery according to product height and moisture, maximising efficiency and eliminating energy waste and unlike conventional rod systems, Strayfield’s full-area plates deliver consistent energy density for gentle drying without hotspots.

FOREARTH printing was used for bags and shoes, giving their designs an inner glow that attracted significant attention.

Works by artists contracted to HERALBONY are characterized by both intricate, delicate expressions and bold, powerful strokes. In the printing process for this garment production, our FOREARTH faithfully reproduced those artistic expressions. Moreover, features unique to each artwork—such as variations in brush pressure and brushstroke—along with subtle differences in hue and tonal gradation were recreated through precise ink-volume adjustments made possible by digital technology, allowing FOREARTH to play a significant role in this production.

„Seeing printed fabrics from Kyocera’s sustainable inkjet textile printer, FOREARTH, moved me“, said HERALBONY’s designers Takaya Matsuda and Fumito. „The printer reproduces the nuance in the artists’ brushwork—the subtle breaks, dynamism, and life—directly onto fabric. It felt as if the works were truly imprinted on society. We believe this is meaningful for the artists, their families, and the welfare communities supporting them.“

FOREARTH reduces water usage by 99.98%*1. This is significant for the resource- and water-intensive textile and apparel industry. We will continue to work with Kyocera to introduce and scale a model that protects artistic integrity while helping to solve environmental challenges.

Swedish innovation at ITMA Asia + CITME

In response to unprecedented market demand, BW Converting, a member of TMAS, the Swedish textile machinery association, will provide details about its new Baldwin TexChroma digital spray dyeing system at ITMA Asia + CITME in Singapore from October 28-31.

“We are excited to launch TexChroma because spray dyeing is the future and many of our customers are already seeing the benefits,” says Yiannis Vasilonikolos, BW Converting Sales Leader for Textiles, who has many years’ experience in textile dyeing technology. “We have conducted successful trials of TexChroma with pigment, reactive, acid and disperse dyes on both cotton and synthetic fibres.”

From production data to date, TexChroma can achieve savings in energy, dyes and chemicals of more than 30% compared to conventional continuous pad batch dyeing using steam, and up to 50% compared to exhaust reactive dyeing. 

It also benefits from an advanced technology enabling reactive dyestuffs and alkali fixation chemicals to be mixed just seconds before spray application, in order to completely eliminate any ‘tailing and listing’– uneven dye application or colour variations.

The TexCoat® G4 Legacy
The introduction of TexChroma follows the runaway success of BW Converting’s Texcoat G4 finishing system in the past few years.

“TexCoat G4 spray technology was developed in Sweden from our off-set printing business, and we initially focused on installing units in Europe and the USA,” explains Vice President of Global Business Development for Textiles Rick Stanford. 
“In the past two years, however, we have been very active in Asia, with 35 units sold – and many of these customers have been asking for a similar technology for the dyeing process.” 

The first TexChroma will be installed at the plant of a very well-known Italian continuous dyer which is part of a larger textile manufacturing group, in order for it to be fully industrially tested before going into series production.

“Our first customer is close by our facility in Sweden, has the practical dyehouse skills we can learn from, and is a satisfied TexCoat G4 customer,” Stanford says. “We believe a major benefit of TexChroma will be in eliminating much rework which is common in dyehouses, but we’ve been very cautious about providing details on TexChroma too early. The dyeing process is unforgiving, and we must get it right the first time. The market has been ready for quite some time. And now, so are we.”

TMAS members in Singapore
In further new developments from TMAS members at the Singapore show, Kinna Automatic will provide details of its complete robotic lines for the production of pillows and duvets for the home furnishings sector and introduce the new Hector industrial sewing machine designed for the heavy duty circular and point stitching of filled textile components.

Eltex has made an important breakthrough on its EyETM tension monitoring system for the heat setting, tufting, warping and winding sectors, with the addition of electromagnetic brakes in combination with the latest advanced sensors. These enable tension variation to not only be detected, but automatically adjusted in real time during operation, rather than manually changed as previously.

The company’s ACT-R unit can further significantly reduce the selvedge yarn waste from the weft insertion systems of rapier weaving machines, while at the same time maintaining equal and steady tension across all pre-winders.

Advanced weaving control is also the bedrock of business for Vandewiele Sweden AB, which supplies weft yarn feeding and tension control units for weaving looms to the majority of the leading weaving machine manufacturers, as well as for retrofitting in working mills around the world The company will present its latest X4 yarn feeders with integrated accessory displays and has recently further strengthened its product portfolio with IRO Gaugepart modules. These are applied to tufting looms to determine the appearance of a carpet in terms of feel and structure.

Finally, the colarette machines of Svegea set the standard throughout Asia for the high speed production of tubular apparel components such as cuffs, collars and neck tapes and in Singapore the company will demonstrate its EC 50 and EC 200 with E-Drive II models, in addition to linked cutting systems.

DTY jets for demanding spinners and yarns 
Launched at ITMA 2023, the Heberlein APe series was expanded with new types of jets. The two additional jets are particularly suitable for polyamide with fine titers.

This DTY jet series sets new standards in yarn processing. Developed for the efficient processing of fine polyamide yarns with a particularly high number of knots (FP/m), the successful APe series is renowned for its unique performance of more than 200 knots per metre. Despite its outstanding performance, it is the smallest jet in its class – fitting anywhere and best suited wherever air savings and optimized production efficiency are required.

The APe series is also attracting interest from market players striving for sustainable production through various measures. Its capability for equal knot performance with reduced energy consumption delivers sustainability without compromise.

Air splicing: maximum control and minimum effort
Yarn splicers produce a tear-resistant, homogeneous splice of material without knots. All they need is compressed air. Heberlein's AirSplicers produce first-class splices for a wide range of applications for technical fibers where extreme strength characteristics are needed.

The new AirSplicer-Basix was designed for technical yarns – including aramid, glass, and carbon. The splicer offers maximum control and user-friendly operation. 

The sophisticated blow chamber design makes it easy to insert, splice and remove the yarn without any additional manual steps or the need for the user to activate further mechanisms.

The design of the AirSplicer-Basix is reduced to the essentials. Still, it performs convincingly and offers flexibility as one or more connection points can be created, depending on the material used and the desired splice strength.

Source Fashion: A Bold Rebrand and the 2026 Theme, Analogue Futures

Source Fashion, the UK’s leading fashion sourcing show, unveiled its new retro-inspired brand identity, which will come to life at the next edition, taking place 12–14 January 2026 at Olympia London. 

Source Fashion, the UK’s leading fashion sourcing show, unveiled its new retro-inspired brand identity, which will come to life at the next edition, taking place 12–14 January 2026 at Olympia London. 

Alongside the rebrand, Source Fashion announces its 2026 creative theme, Analogue Futures, developed in collaboration with official fashion trend partner Trend Suite, founded by trend forecaster and designer Tiffany Hill. Analogue Futures champions authenticity, slowness, community, and creativity in response to an increasingly digital world. With an aesthetic rooted in 1980s and 1990s nostalgia, the reimagined Source Fashion will bring together global makers, designers, and retailers to explore fashion as activism and expression, and to celebrate the power of real human connection.
 
At a time when algorithms, automation, and polished pixels dominate our cultural landscape, Analogue Futures represents a growing creative movement that values imperfection, tactility, and authentic connection. From the resurgence of film cameras, Polaroids, cassette tapes, and vinyl to the rise of repair cafés and limited-run collaborations, this new analogue underground is rejecting the frictionless feed in favour of slower, more human ways of creating and sharing.
 
For Source Fashion, this ethos is more than a trend, it’s a manifesto. “In a world obsessed with filters and speed, we are choosing to press pause,” says Suzanne Ellingham, Source Fashion Event Director. “Analogue Futures is about valuing moments, memories, and creativity that lasts longer than a scroll. This really speaks to the mindset of slowing down, thinking about what we buy, how we make. It also taps into the degrowth models, reducing volumes, valuing what we make, and who makes it. Fashion has always been activism and expression, and this theme allows us to explore it in a way that feels real and connected to a growing consumer mindset.”
 
Visitors to the January show will see this philosophy brought to life. Expect a bold retro aesthetic rooted in 1980s and 1990s nostalgia and analogue design cues woven into experiences across the show floor.
 
The rebrand also reflects Source Fashion’s commitment to community. Moving away from mass attention and quick transactions, the show will prioritise deeper connections between buyers, suppliers, and creators. Alongside the exhibition, 2026 will see more community-building initiatives including retail safaris, industry mixers, and collaborative content partnerships.
 
By embracing imperfection, slowing down, and prioritising people over technology, Source Fashion’s Analogue Futures marks not only a striking new creative direction for the brand, but also a rallying call for the fashion industry to be more human, more sustainable, and more real.

OUTLOOK™ conference always serves as a critical hub for dialogue, bringing together industry leaders, innovators, and policy experts. This year's conversations consistently centred on how to turn today’s challenges into tomorrow’s opportunities.

A World in Flux: Global Insights and Market Realities 
The event kicked off with a powerful keynote from Ambassador Ivo H. Daalder, who offered a big-picture view of how global alliances and economic policies are reshaping trade and market opportunities. This strategic perspective set the stage for a deeper dive into the industry’s specific challenges. 

Experts from around the world shared insights on the absorbent hygiene product (AHP) markets, particularly in developing countries, where local players are thriving by embracing agility and sustainability. A separate session focused on the wipes sector, where speakers from Water UK, Euromonitor International, and Suominen Corporation underscored that collaboration, innovation, and credible claims are key to a sustainable future for the category. 

Sustainability in the Spotlight
Throughout the conference, sustainability was less of a buzzword and more of a central theme. Sessions provided practical guidance on navigating the EU’s Green Deal and securing funding for projects. A session on Green Claims in Practice was particularly vital, with representatives from the European Environmental Bureau, the TIC Council, and the European Advertising Standards Alliance offering clear advice on how to build consumer trust and avoid greenwashing. 

Innovation was also on full display, with HIRO Technologies’ groundbreaking MycoDigestible™ diaper capturing attention. The product, which uses plastic eating fungi to safely break down diapers, offered a glimpse into how biotechnology could create truly circular solutions. 

Looking Ahead: AI and the Future of Nonwovens 
The discussions also reached beyond today’s challenges to explore tomorrow’s opportunities. A keynote on Day 3 by Roover Consulting addressed the role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the industry. The session showcased real-world examples of how AI can boost creativity and accelerate product development, while also addressing the crucial need for responsible implementation. 

"OUTLOOK™ 2025 was a powerful testament to our industry's resilience and forward-thinking nature," said Murat Dogru, General Manager of EDANA. "The conversations were about leading the change. We saw an industry that is committed to turning regulation into a competitive advantage and using innovation to create a truly sustainable future."

Networking with Budapest as the backdrop 

The value of face-to-face connection was a recurring theme. Beyond the formal sessions, OUTLOOK™ had many networking events, including a cocktail reception at the stunning Buda Castle. Participants valued the side discussions that happen during the conference: “The presentations are great, but the real magic of OUTLOOK™ happens in the hallways and at the evening events. This is where you get to meet the relevant people of our industry—and that’s invaluable.”
