BTE startet Informationsoffensive für Politiker

Der BTE sieht längst nicht alle Politiker als ausreichend informiert an über die komplexen Tätigkeiten und die gesellschaftliche Funktion des Textil- und Schuhhandels am jeweiligen Standort. Als Folge werde die gesamtwirtschaftliche Bedeutung der Branche mitunter eher gering eingeschätzt, was zu einer unzureichenden politischen Unterstützung gerade in schwierigen Zeiten – siehe Corona – führen könne.
 
Der Verband hat sich daher zu einer Informationsoffensive in Richtung der Politik entschlossen. Angeboten und organisiert werden dazu sog. „Store Visits“, bei denen interessierte Politiker hinter die Kulissen von Mode- oder Schuhgeschäften schauen und sich mit den Unternehmern intensiv über aktuelle Themen und Problemstellungen austauschen können – ggf. mit Begleitung des BTE. Erfahrungsgemäß sind solche Treffen wirkungsvoller als Gespräche nur zwischen Verbandsfunktionären und Politikern.

HEREWEAR is winner of the Cellulose Fibre Innovation of the Year

At the "International Conference on Cellulose Fibers 2024" in Cologne, Germany, the Nova Institute for Ecology and Innovation awarded first place in the Innovation Prize to the project partners of the EU-funded HEREWEAR project. They presented a dress made of cellulose fibers, which is entirely made of straw pulp.

HEREWEAR is an EU-wide research project that brings together partners from research and industry. They are working to establish a European circular economy for locally produced textiles and clothing made from bio-based raw materials.
The HEREWEAR consortium consists of small and medium-sized enterprises and research institutions. HEREWEAR covers all the necessary expertise and infrastructure from academic and applied research and industry from nine EU countries.

The HEREWEAR approach includes technical and ecological innovations in the production of fibers, yarns, fabrics, knitwear and garments, as well as the use of regional value chains and the circular development of fashion items.

The HEREWEAR approach includes technical and ecological innovations in the production of fibers, yarns, fabrics, knitwear and garments, as well as the use of regional value chains and the circular development of fashion items.

New technologies for wet and melt spinning of cellulose and bio-based polyesters, e.g. PLA, from which yarns and fabrics are produced, form the technical basis. Coating and dyeing processes have been developed and tested as part of the project. In addition to reducing the carbon footprint of the product, another environmental goal is to reduce the release of microfibers throughout the textile manufacturing process and life cycle.

Improving the sustainability and recyclability of the developed garments is ensured by design for circularity and digitally networked production means. On-demand production is realized in so-called "microfactories", which are individualized and produce only for actual demand. This production method can be achieved through regional, networked value chains and enables the traceability of materials and manufacturing processes.

The dress presented at the award ceremony is an example of the cooperation and the different qualifications of the project partners: TNO (Netherlands Organization for Applied Scientific Research) provided sustainably produced pulp. The HighPerCell fibers were produced in DITF's spinning facilities. At the same time, designers from the fashion label Vretena created the design for the flexible, two-piece dress, which can be knitted without cutting waste. DITF textile experts worked with the designers to develop the knitting pattern. DITF textile engineers and technicians produced the knitted fabric and assembled the dress at the institutes’ technical center. DITF computer scientists and engineers created the "value chain" and "digital twins" for digital traceability of the production processes.

The innovation prize was awarded to the HEREWEAR consortiu for their joint achievement. Representatives of DITF Denkendorf and Vretena accepted the award on behalf of the EU project partners.

KnitCycle: Forschungsprojekt für kreislaufgerechte Flachstrick-Textilien

87 Prozent des weltweiten Textilabfalls in der Bekleidungsindustrie landen auf Deponien oder werden verbrannt. Von den 13 Prozent, die noch mechanisch weiterverarbeitet werden, enden die meisten Alttextilien als Dämmmaterial (Downcycling). Nicht einmal ein Prozent werden zu hochwertigen Fasern aufbereitet, aus denen wieder neue Kleidung entsteht.
 
Gemeinsam mit Bache Innovative als Antragstellerin hat die Hochschule Niederrhein (HSNR) ein großes Forschungsprojekt gestartet: „KnitCycle – kreislaufgerechte Produktentwicklung für Flachstricktextilien“. Die Deutsche Bundesstiftung Umwelt (DBU) fördert das Vorhaben für zwei Jahre mit insgesamt rund 290.000 Euro, davon fließen 225.000 Euro an die HSNR.
 
Wo Textilabfall recycelt und damit in den Kreislauf zurückgeführt werden kann, muss auch weniger entsorgt werden. Werden Produktionsabfälle und -überhänge vernichtet, ist das nicht nur teuer für die Unternehmen. Für die Herstellung neuer Kleidung müssen auch wieder neue Fasern erzeugt werden. Je nach Faserstoff kommt es dabei zu großem Wasserverbrauch, starkem Pestizid- und Düngemitteleinsatz sowie langen Transportwegen mit hohen CO2-Emissionen.

Je nach Faserstoff kommt es dabei zu großem Wasserverbrauch, starkem Pestizid- und Düngemitteleinsatz sowie langen Transportwegen mit hohen CO2-Emissionen.  
 
Die Projektpartner erarbeiten ein Konzept, mit dem gestrickte Produkte so entwickelt werden können, dass sie sich am Produktlebensende durch ein Faser-zu-Faser-Recycling zu hochwertigen Fasern neu aufbereiten lassen. Aus diesen Fasern kann anschließend neues, industriell verarbeitbares Garn für Bekleidung hergestellt werden, das im Idealfall später abermals recycelt werden kann.
 
Unter dem Motto „Design for Recycling“ analysieren die Partner, welche Faktoren und Verfahren am besten geeignet sind, Textilien schon bei ihrer Entstehung so zu planen, dass sie am Produktlebensende optimal recyclingfähig sind. Gleichzeitig dürfen sich Ästhetik, Qualität und Langlebigkeit der Produkte nicht verschlechtern. Die Frage ist also: Welche Parameter im mechanischen Recycling werden benötigt und welche Produkteigenschaften erzielen das beste kreislauffähige Ergebnis?
 
„KnitCycle“ konzentriert sich auf Pulloverwaren und Produkte, die auf Flachstrickmaschinen endformgerecht in Deutschland produziert werden. Dafür liefert und produziert die auf 3D-Strickwaren spezialisierte Firma Bache Innovative eigenes Abfall- und Forschungsmaterial.
 
Unterstützung mit Experten-Knowhow gibt es auch von TURNS Faserkreisläufe. Dieses Unternehmen stellt recycelte Garne aus verschiedenen gebrauchten, ausrangierten Alttextilien her.
 
Die Faser-zu-Faser-Recycling-Versuche finden am hochschuleigenen Forschungsinstitut für Textil und Bekleidung (FTB) statt. Dazu schafft die HSNR von dem Fördergeld eine Reißmaschine für das Textilrecycling an. Hiermit werden vor Ort die optimalen Prozessparameter für das Recycling der jeweiligen Produkttypen ermittelt. Die in diesem Prozess gewonnenen Reißfasern werden dann u.a. mit Unterstützung der Firma Textechno H. Stein GmbH & Co. KG aus Mönchengladbach analysiert und bewertet.

Mittels unterschiedlicher Aufbereitungs- und Spinnverfahren werden aus den Reißfasern anschließend neue Garne hergestellt. Die Forschenden testen, wie sich die Fasern wiederverspinnen lassen – auch in Kombination mit anderen Naturfasern, um mit möglichst hochwertigen neuen Produkten den Produktkreislauf zu schließen.

An Labor-Strickmaschinen erzeugt das FTB-Team erste 2D-Strickproben. Die finalen Strickprodukte aus den recycelten Garnen stellt der Kooperationspartner Bache Innovative her.

Das 1991 gegründete Unternehmen, die SCHUHWELT Schuhhandels-GmbH, betreibt 9 Filialen in Rheinland-Pfalz und Hessen. Zum Sortiment zählen Schuhe, Accessoires und Bekleidung verschiedener mittelpreisiger Marken. Am 01.02.2024 hatte das Amtsgericht Pirmasens ein vorläufiges Insolvenzverfahren in Eigenverwaltung eingeleitet.

Nun eine strukturierte Suche nach potenziellen Investoren begonnen. Hierfür wurde das unabhängige Beratungsunternehmen MENTOR AG mit der Durchführung eines Investorenprozesses beauftragt. Das Hauptaugenmerk liegt darauf, möglichst viele Filialen und Arbeitsplätze zu erhalten.

Die aktuelle Krisensituation ist maßgeblich auf die weitreichenden Einschränkungen im Einzelhandel während der Coronapandemie zurückzuführen. Aufgrund der Kundenabwanderung zu größeren Online-Händlern und gleichzeitiger Kostensteigerungen für Energie, Miete und andere Dienstleistungen hat die Geschäftsführung frühzeitig die Entscheidung getroffen, das Restrukturierungsverfahrens einzuleiten, um sich neu aufzustellen.

Aktive Interessenten können sich für weitere Informationen direkt an die MENTOR AG wenden.

adidas: Y-3 and Real Madrid launch Travel Collection

Having recently celebrated the club’s 120th anniversary with a special kit for the 2021/2022 season, this year, Y-3 and Real Madrid have come together once again to bring Yohji Yamamoto’s perspective to the club with a seven-piece travel collection.

Inspired by the signature monochromatic color palette of both Real Madrid and Y-3, the travel collection itself consists of a sleek and elegant selection of pieces in all black. Crafted at the intersection of tailoring and athletic-wear, the suite of pieces includes a short sleeve polo, a long sleeve polo, a pair of shorts, a pair of track pants, a track top, a coach jacket, and a premium faux leather jacket – each made with soft sporting fabrics and finished with collaborative details such as Yohji Yamamoto’s recognizable handwritten signature script wordmark and the Real Madrid crest.

Accompanying the launch of the travel collection is a campaign shot by trailblazing London-based photographer Gabriel Moses featuring past and present Real Madrid icons including Naomie Feller, Jude Bellingham, David Alaba, Misa Rodríguez, and Zinedine Zidane.

Archroma: New wet-fastness improver

Archroma has developed a new wet-fastness improver that helps brands and mills produce durable clothing, towels, linens and other textile products with long-lasting colors without compromising on quality or introducing hazardous chemicals.

ALBAFIX® ECO PLUS is a next-generation fixing agent that delivers a strong wet-fastness for all reactive dyes on cotton and other cellulosic fibers and polyester-cotton blends. It will not change the shade of the dyed fabric or negatively impact light-fastness. The product also avoids production challenges – such as foaming, acid hydrolysis and migration problems during drying – to promote efficiency and quality output.

ALBAFIX® ECO PLUS is suitable for jet applications, and for other dyeing and washing equipment with vigorous liquor circulation, and can also be applied by exhaustion, by padding or from the last bath of the soaping process after dyeing or printing.

Like ALBAFIX® ECO, the latest addition to the ALBAFIX® family has a positive influence on chlorine-fastness. When applied with double fixing, it achieves the same high performance on polyamide and PA/Elastane fabrics, as it does on cellulosic fibers. This makes it ideal for the production of swimwear, as well as sportswear and outdoor clothing.

ALBAFIX® ECO PLUS complies with global eco-standards and initiatives, including Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS), bluesign® and the Zero Discharge of Hazardous Chemicals (ZDHC) Roadmap.

Umsatz mit Schuhen steigt auf 11,6 Mrd. Euro

Trotz einiger Insolvenzen ist der Einzelhandelsumsatz mit Schuhen nach ersten Hochrechnungen des BTE Handelsverband Textil Schuhe Lederwaren im letzten Jahr um rund vier Prozent bzw. 480 Mio. Euro auf 11,6 Milliarden Euro (inkl. MwSt.) gestiegen. „Der Umsatz liegt damit allerdings immer noch knapp 1,5 Prozent unter dem Vor-Corona-Niveau von 2019“, berichtete BTE-Geschäftsführer Axel Augustin anlässlich der HDS/L-Pressekonferenz am 4. März im Rahmen der Düsseldorfer Fachmesse SHOES.
 
Überdurchschnittlich abgeschnitten hat im letzten Jahr vor allem der stationäre Schuhhandel. Die Umsätze der Schuhgeschäfte sind nach BTE-Schätzungen um fast acht Prozent gestiegen, liegen aber immer noch etwa sechs Prozent unter 2019. „Wir beobachten allerdings im gesamten Handel große Unterschiede je nach Standort oder Geschäftskonzept“, konstatierte Augustin. „Die Bandbreite reicht von Rekordumsätzen bis zu Geschäftsaufgaben bzw. Insolvenzen wegen der stark gestiegenen Kosten und zu großen Substanzverlusten während der erzwungenen Corona-Schließungen.“

Insolvenzen wegen der stark gestiegenen Kosten und zu großen Substanzverlusten während der erzwungenen Corona-Schließungen.“
 
Nach Schätzungen des BTE haben 2023 rund 170 Schuhhändler ihre Türen für immer geschlossen – teils wegen Insolvenz, teils freiwillig z.B. wegen fehlender Nachfolger. Aktuell dürften nur noch etwa 2.600 stationäre Schuhspezialisten am Markt aktiv sein. 2013 waren es laut Umsatzsteuerstatistik noch 4.640 Unternehmen.
 
Als größtes Problem nehmen die stationären Schuhhändler derzeit die zunehmende Bürokratie wahr. Auf Rang zwei rangieren die hohen Kostensteigerungen. Oft beklagt wird zudem die Kaufzurückhaltung der Kunden, der zunehmende Wettbewerb mit den eigenen Lieferanten, der Fachkräftemangel sowie ein Attraktivitätsverlust des eigenen Standortes.
 
Umsatz verloren hat im letzten Jahr der Versand- bzw. Onlinehandel.  Er liegt aber wegen des starken Aufschwungs in den Coronajahren 2020 und 2021 nach BTE-Schätzungen rund 40 Prozent über 2019. Augustin: „Wir gehen davon aus, dass der Anteil des Versandhandels am gesamten Schuhmarkt im letzten Jahr bei knapp einem Viertel lag.“
 
Für 2024 sind die Umsatzerwartungen der Schuhhändler sehr verhalten. Laut einer aktuellen BTE-Umfrage rechnet lediglich ein Viertel der Teilnehmer für das laufende Jahr mit einem nennenswerten Umsatzplus. Ein weiteres Viertel sieht sich in etwa auf dem Niveau von 2023, knapp die Hälfte befürchtet dagegen Einbußen von mindesten einem Prozent. „Wir müssen daher 2024 mit weiteren Geschäftsschließungen rechnen“, so Augustin.
