Bremen: Die Internationale Baumwolltagung vom 25. bis 27. März präsentiert Fachbesuchern aus allen wesentlichen Kontinenten im historischen Rathaus am Marktplatz der Hansestadt Bremen hochaktuelle und zukunftsträchtige Themen der Baumwolltextilbeschaffungskette und diskutiert daraus resultierende Herausforderungen für den Markt. Dabei sind Wissenschaft und Praxis gleichermaßen vertreten.

Schon am Eröffnungstag, am Mittwoch, den 25. März, beschäftigt sich eine hochspannende Session mit alternativer und bisher wenig bekannter Verwendung des natürlichen, erneuerbaren und biologisch abbaubaren Rohstoffs Baumwolle in innovativen Produkten mit hohem Nutzwert. Innerhalb der Session ,Innovative Textile and Technical Products‘ wird anhand von vier Beispielen deutlich, dass die Nutzung von Baumwolle weit über Haushaltstextilien und Bekleidung hinausgeht. Vielmehr ist Baumwolle wegen ihrer intelligenten Eigenschaften auch in technischen Produkten oder auch in Smart-Textilien zu finden.

Michael Jänecke, Director Brand Management Technical Textiles & Textile Processing bei der Messe Frankfurt, leitet mit seiner umfassenden Markterfahrung die Session. Schon seit vielen Jahren ist er unter anderem für die Organisation internationalen Leitmessen Techtextil und Texprocess verantwortlich.

Fallbeispiel 1:
Nachhaltige Baumwolle für fälschungssichere Geldscheine

Bernadette O’Brian vom Directorat Banknoten bei der Europäischen Zentralbank in Frankfurt (EZB) ist verantwortlich für die umwelt- und gesundheitsgerechte sowie die fälschungssichere Produktion von Banknoten. In ihrem Vortrag ‚Der Einsatz von nachhaltigen Baumwollfasern in Euro-Banknoten‘ beleuchtet sie im Rahmen der globalen Nachhaltigkeitsstrategie der EZB die europaweiten Herstellungspraktiken von Banknotenpapier inklusive der Kontrolle der Fertigungsprozesse.

Fallbeispiel 2:
Fluoreszierende, supermagnetische und wasserabweisende Baumwolle

Dr. Filipe Natalio gehört als leitender Mitarbeiter und Forscher dem Weizmann Institut für Wissenschaft in Rehovot, Israel an und arbeitet hier für die Abteilung Pflanzen- und Umweltforschung, angeschlossen an das Kimmel Zentrum für Archäologische Studien. Er präsentiert unter dem Thema ‚Rohstofflandwirtschaft: Die Züchtung von Baumwolle mit einzigartigen Funktionen‘ Ergebnisse seiner Arbeiten, bei denen Baumwolle mit fluoreszierenden, supermagnetischen und wasserabweisenden Fähigkeiten ausgestattet werden kann. Dies geschieht nicht etwa durch eine chemische Veränderung, sondern biologisch durch die Implementierung eines speziell entwickelten Glukosemoleküls in Baumwolle. Die Entwicklung hat das Potential, großformatig in baumwollbasierten Funktionsmaterialien und -textilien eingesetzt zu werden.

Fallbeispiel 3:
Innovative Wattierungen und Gewebe für Einrichtung und Outdoor

In einem Doppelvortrag stellen Matthias Boehme und Daniel Odermatt innovative Textilien für den Einrichtungs- und Outdoorsektor vor. Matthias Boehme ist Inhaber der Bremer Agentur Textile Solutions & Consulting. Er präsentiert Produktideen für Wattierungen zur Anwendung in Möbeln des deutschen Vliesstoff- und Composite-Herstellers Norafin Industries, Mildenau. Diese sind nicht etwa aus ölbasierten Chemiefasern, sondern aus Baumwolle und weiteren biobasierten Naturfasern und finden Anwendung im Bereich Heimtex (z. B. Tapeten) oder auch bei funktionellen Komponenten für technische Textilien und für Bekleidungsentwicklungen.

Daniel Odermatt ist Divisionmanager der Gewebemanufaktur Stotz & Co. AG, Zürich, Schweiz. Das Unternehmen ist bekannt für die Entwicklung hochfunktionaler Baumwollgewebe. Zum Beispiel werden Extra-Langstapelfasern weich gesponnen und gezwirnt und dann in höchstmöglicher Dichte verwoben. Das Resultat ist ein dichtes Allwettergewebe mit natürlichen Eigenschaften und höchstem Tragekomfort. Das Material ist regenfest, absolut winddicht und mit einer Atmungsaktivität ausgestattet, die nur mit Naturmaterialien erreicht werden kann.

Fallbeispiel 4:
3D-Gewebe aus Baumwolle/Leinen zur Behandlung von Hautkrankheiten

Dr. Iwona Frydrych von der Universität für Technologie in Łódź, Polen, ist Professorin an der Fakultät für Materialentwicklung und Textildesign. Ihr Thema ist die Unterstützung medizinischer Behandlung von Hautkrankheiten durch ein 3D-Design für Bekleidung aus Baumwoll-Leinen-Mischungen. Auf das Material werden Mikrokapseln mit erwiesen hautberuhigenden Pflanzensubstanzen aufgetragen. Das so ausgerüstete Material hat direkten Kontakt mit der Haut. Der Inhalt der Mikrokapseln wird durch Körperwärme und -feuchtigkeit freigesetzt. Studien zufolge führt dies zu einer Linderung von Hautbeschwerden.

World’s first C2C Platinum for Rajby Textiles

Monforts customer Rajby Textiles is the first company in the world to have finally achieved the Cradle to Cradle (C2C) Platinum Standard for a product. Its Beluga denim fabrics have gained the ultimate sustainability score in all five categories covered by the C2C standard, which is acknowledged as involving the toughest and most thorough testing and assessment it is possible to put a product through.

As such, Beluga denim fabric is based on 100% GOTS certified organic cotton and employs no hazardous chemicals in its production. At the same time, it is both recyclable and biodegradable, with 100% of the energy used in its production offset by green energy and involving a closed loop system with no waste water generated and no material wastage.

The new Beluga denim fabrics, however, represent a new zenith in circular denim production. To meet the active cycling requirement, Rajby has committed to using Beluga denim fabric exclusively in apparel products sold by retailers with take back programmes in place and estimated expected cycling rates for such products

Popular all-in-one garments feature 3XDRY® textile technology from schoeller®

Today’s consumers demand versatility in their apparel, whether they’re shopping for work, sports or leisure wear. Work wear is no longer just about style, and sports and leisure wear is no longer just about stretch, while the demands for high-performance textiles in every category continue to increase. More and more consumer brands are looking to Schoeller’s established technologies to deliver not only beautiful fabrics that offer comfort and style but also breathability and the best in water and dirt repellence to their customers.

3XDRY® finishing technology from schoeller® allows the exterior of a textile to be water repellent, while the inside absorbs moisture and quickly distributes it over the surface. As a result, textiles with 3XDRY® dry much faster in comparison to conventional textiles. Since the launch of 3XDRY® in 2001, the technology has proven performance focused mostly on sportswear. Now that demands within the fashion industry are also trending toward performance textiles, more of its apparel brands are also turning to the patented 3XDRY® technology’s reliability and versatility for functional jackets, pants and shirts.

Bemberg™ doubles its presence at Première Vision

Bemberg™ gears up for Première Vision - February 11th-13th, Paris, France; with a great deal of novelties and a key statement on sustainability: Let’s Make it Circular! That’s why the Japanese brand of regenerated cellulose fibers joins the fair with two booths, one in the yarn-focused sector – Hall 6 C52 6D53 – the other one in the Smart Creation area, the curated district showcasing cutting-edge sustainable innovation for the textile and fashion business. Hall3 S14.

“We simply could not miss out on the Smart Creation Area as sustainability is the founding pillar of our company,” says SHUNSUKE SATO, sales manager of Bemberg™ by Asahi Kasei. “Indeed, the smart fiber is made from a cotton linter which is pre-consumer material, a natural derived source, that doesn’t deplete forestry resources. The strategy beyond our double presence is to highlight our deep commitment to responsible innovation to a larger target of professionals.”

The strategy beyond our double presence is to highlight our deep commitment to responsible innovation to a larger target of professionals.”

Let’s take it circular! is the motto at the Smart Creation booth. The lifespan of Bemberg™’s regenerated cellulose fiber derived from cotton is fully circular: from the source to manufacturing. The whole sustainable closed-loop process is supported by the LCA study, signed by ICEA and validated by Paolo Masoni. Recyclability is granted by the Global Recycle Standard - GRS certification by the renown Textile Exchange. An influential guarantee that involves the whole production process and supply chain behind the company’s smart yarns. Bemberg™ yarns are entirely biodegradable and ecotoxicity-free – meaning that at the end of their life circle they break down into the environment leaving no trace in terms of toxic substances as attested by the Innovhub-SSI report.

On show at Première Vision some of the most recent collaborations with GRS-certified partners such as FIVEOL, SMI TESSUTI, TESSITURA UBOLDI, INFINITY, SIDONIOS, MATIAS & ARAUJO, TINTEX, IPEKER, EKOTEN, for fashion fabrics as well as PEZZETTI and BRUNELLO & G.CRESPI from lining partners.

The first Bemberg™ partner to present a commercial collection enriched by Velutine™ Evo is the Portuguese Matias & Araújo. With an innovative spirit, dynamism and a determined entrepreneurial spirit, the company is a leading knitwear producer for the textile industry.

In the Hall 6 Bemberg™ displays key commercial items developed by premium brands such as CAALO that is making its mark in the outerwear market with its Sustainably produced Functional-Luxury proposal. For SS20, CAALO utilized Bemberg™ lining because of the sustainability properties and it's unique colour.

CAALO looks to utilize as much eco-friendly and sustainable materials as possible without compromising on design or quality. This Bemberg™ lining was a perfect fit.

The system consists in the development and engineering of a production network involving 100 partner-companies from the whole supply chain “We all team up responsibly to create premium collection based on transparent , traceable  circular economy practices,” comments Matteo Mantellassi, co-CEO of Manteco.
 
To achieve meeting the demand for fair and sustainable fashion that consumers believe in, and is expected  from our clients, the company and its partners have created and accomplished to a Protocol of Sustainable Values and Commitments in line with the highest standards of the global market.

“On a hand, the protocol preserves the unique ‘genius loci’ of our territory – it respects the heritage of all our partners, from the smaller businesses to the more structured ones - on the other hand, it works like a shared compass of sustainable values, allowing the whole supply chain behind Manteco products to stand out and be competitive on the global stage” adds Mantellassi.
 
The protocol and its monitored and traceable system cover virtuous management of resources – e.g. Water, energy and chemical products - waste management and low production impact on the environment but also responsible standards in terms of employment, quality of the working environment, equal rights and anti-discrimination policies.

One of the key  results of such commitment and sustainable development is the creation of an upgraded version of the recycled wool  MWool™: a top ingredient made from premium recycled wool process guaranteed by the Manteco System.The System works like a symphony where management, measurement and controls  are not there just to test  the quality of each single phase of processes or  products , but to make sure and offer the complete traceability of Manteco production.  From raw material, to yarn, spinning, finishing, testing and final fabric.

Some productions tips about Manteco:

  •  5.3 million kg of raw materials processed annually.
  •  6.860 tests on raw material per year.
  •  34.400 tests on finished products.
  •  100% made in Italy system completely based in the Prato district since 1943.
  •  Total transparency and traceability thanks to a highly skilled management system.

With a turnover of over 91m Euro in 2019 and an annual growth of 17,80% since 2012, Manteco SpA is the 4th textile company in Italy, listed in the TOP30 companies of the Italian fashion system. “The unique Manteco system adds value to our products while highlighting the sustainable path we share with all our partners both upstream and downstream”.

GDH e.V.: Hutbranche im Aufwind: Im fünften Jahr Umsatzplus erzielt

Der Hutfacheinzelhandel schloss das Jahr 2019 zum fünften Mal in Folge mit einem Umsatzplus ab. Auch 2020 ist die Hutbranche optimistisch und prognostiziert moderates Wachstum. Das ist ein Ergebnis der Jahresumfrage des Hutverbandes GDH e.V. aus Köln.

Der spezialisierte Hutfacheinzelhandel ist zufrieden mit der Entwicklung des Jahres 2019. Die Spezialisten für Kopfbedeckungen erzielten durchschnittlich ein Umsatzplus in Höhe von 1,8 Prozent. Eine Steigerung zum fünften Mal in Folge (2018: 1,4 Prozent / 2017: 4,0 Prozent / 2016: 1,6 Prozent / 2015: 2,5 Prozent). Das bestätigt die Jahresumfrage der Gemeinschaft Deutscher Hutfachgeschäfte e.V. (Hutverband GDH), die zur Mitgliederversammlung diskutiert wurde. Auch für dieses Jahr ist die Hutbranche optimistisch. Die GDH-Mitglieder  ̶  inhabergeführte Huteinzelhändler von Norderney über Hamburg und München bis Neuötting  ̶  prognostizieren ein Umsatzplus in Höhe von 1,1 Prozent für 2020.

Andreas Voigtländer, 1. Vorsitzender der GDH e.V., kommentiert: "Der Sommer war dank des guten Wetters erfreulich, denn immer mehr Konsumenten achten im Rahmen des Klimawandels auf hohen UV-Schutz beim Kauf von hochwertigen Stroh- und Stoffhüten sowie Panamas. Sonnenschutz wird auch für 2020 das Mega-Thema sein. Der Winter war durch den zu warmen Dezember schwächer als erwartet. Entscheidend ist aber, dass Headwear auch bei der jüngeren Zielgruppe Trend ist  ̶  das belegen die prominenten Hutträger des Jahres, aktuell Sänger/Songwriter Johannes Oerding, die wir vom Hutverband seit 2013 auszeichnen."

Aktuelle Probleme und Chancen im Headwear-Handel
Mit wachsender Tendenz ist das größte Problem im stationären Hutfacheinzelhandel die Frequenzentwicklung. Bei einem Umsatzwachstum von 1,8 Prozent liegt die Kundenanzahl nur bei plus 1,1 Prozent. „Sinkende Frequenz in den Städten, steigende Kosten und die Konkurrenz durch Online-Shopping sind die drei größten Probleme. Unser Umsatzwachstum basiert auf echten Mengensteigerungen, weil wir als Spezialisten die Kunden bestens beraten können und eine große Auswahl an Kopfbedeckungen mit Funktion und Komfort bieten. Dagegen hat sich der Durchschnittsbon leider verringert‟, weiß Andreas Voigtländer.

Nylon, which is used for the first time in this edition, allows for super light woven and cozy outdoor fabrics, reversible and packable styles, as well as patented fabrics, such as 4 waystretch ISKO Blue Skin™ for a 360° elasticity. Finally, the collection offers super compact fabrics that are made suitable also for fully bonded garments with body shaping and high recovery properties.

To provide trailblazing inspiration to its customers, ISKO’s world-class design team have created both a men’s and women’s garment collection based on three lifestyles – active, outdoor and club sports.

ACTIVE: Ideal for a wide range of sports from yoga to fitness to running. Whether participating in highor low-impact activities, these fabrics perfectly fulfill the technical requirements of athleisure and performance-wear apparel.

OUTDOOR:
Fabrics that stand for superior comfort, durability, water repellency and breathability, protecting the wearer from the elements of nature in any kind of setting.

CLUB SPORTS:
From the perfect golf swing to a wild horse ride, essential features such as maximum flexibility, fit and performance make these the ultimate textile concepts for the sportswear market.
