ISPO Textrends feiert 10-Jähriges

Seit einem Jahrzehnt präsentiert die ISPO Munich mit den Textrends die neuesten Materialien, Technologien und Designs in der Sportartikel- und Textilbranche und ist Innovations- und Informationsplattform für verschiedene Industrien.

2013 wurden ISPO Textrends mit dem Ziel ins Leben gerufen, Textilhersteller*innen, Designer*innen, Produktentwickler*innen und Lieferant*innen eine Plattform zu bieten, auf der sie ihre innovativen Produkte präsentieren und Ideen austauschen können. Was im kleinen Rahmen begann, hat sich inzwischen zu einer international anerkannten Veranstaltung entwickelt, die Fachleute aus der ganzen Welt anzieht: von nachhaltigen Stoffen bis hin zu fortschrittlichen Fertigungstechniken dient die Messe als Drehscheibe für Innovationen und Technologien. Ein Höhepunkt ist der ISPO Textrends Award, der jährlich innovative Produkte, Ansätze und Materialien auszeichnet.

Branchenübergreifende Synergien
ISPO Textrends adressiert inzwischen deutlich mehr als Sportartikel, Ausrüstung und Sportmode: auch „branchenfremde“ Besucher*innen aus Design, Einkauf, Marketing, Forschung und Entwicklung (R&D) anderer Industrien nutzen die Plattform gezielt für den branchenübergreifenden Austausch von Ideen. Sie finden hier die entsprechenden Inspirationen und Innovationen zur Integration in ihre eigenen Produkte.

Im Rahmen von Expertenpanels, Seminaren und Präsentationen erhalten die Fachbesucher ein vertieftes Verständnis für die aktuellen Entwicklungen in der Textilindustrie, um flexibel auf veränderte Verbraucherwünsche reagieren zu können und die richtigen Lösungen für ihre individuellen Ansprüche zu finden.

Nachhaltigkeit und ethische Praktiken
Als globale Plattform setzt man sich aktiv für nachhaltige und ethische Lösungen ein: die ISPO Textrends betonen auch die Bedeutung von umweltfreundlichen Materialien und sozial verantwortlichen Herstellungsverfahren. Von recycelten Fasern bis zu fair produzierten Stoffen steht ISPO Textrends für eine vielfältige Palette nachhaltiger Optionen, die Performance und Umweltfreundlichkeit kombinieren.

New this season is the application of the RespiGard™ by Polypore unique membrane designed for outdoor apparel. Its innovative pore structure is too small for water droplets to penetrate but features high porosity that allows for airflow and moisture evaporation.

In order to show at best the performances and possible applications of the fabrics made with RespiGard™, ECOSENSOR™ will feature at its ISPO space an ad hoc created outfit by the outerwear brand.

Furthermore, the majority of ECOSENSOR™ fabrics are made with sustainable ingredients which are certified by international certifications such as GRS and RCS through a traceable and transparent production process and supply chain.  100% of the stretch articles (representing 35% of the collection) are made with ROICA™ EF by Asahi Kasei, the recycled stretch yarn made from pre-consumer materials. Even the dyeing and finishing phases - key moments for performancewear - have been certified by international labels such as bluesign® or OEKO-TEX® Standard 100.
