Bio-degradable Degradable Polyester Degradable Polyamide   Background The fashion industry has been making efforts to reduce its impact on the natural environment by exploring various recycling and renewable technologies, as well as developing biodegradable synthetic materials. Although it has reduced the industry's impact on the environment and natural resources, the large amount of waste generated by the fashion industry remains a major source of environmental pollution. Therefore, the development of biodegradable technological materials is receiving increasing attention.   Application 1.The production technology for biodegradable polyester can currently meet the requirements for filling cotton, but it has not yet been applied to the weaving of fabrics for needle-based materials. 2.The current technology for biodegradable polyamide can meet the requirements for weaving needle-based fabrics, and the resulting clothing can quickly decompose under specific conditions in landfills. Plant-based Materials Plant-based Polyester  Plant-based Nylon Plant-based Coating   Background The textile industry has garnered global attention due to its significant carbon footprint, and ecological concerns have prompted a shift towards more environmentally sustainable plant-based materials, moving away from petroleum-based fibers.   Application 1.Plant-based fibers: Genomatica in the United States, Kaisai Biological in China, and Toray in Japan have invested in the development of plant-based nylon, while DuPont in the United States and Toray in Japan have invested in the development of bio-based polyester. 2.Huntsman, in partnership with Chemours, has created a new environmentally friendly finishing agent called Teflon EcoElite, which contains 63% plant-based materials, making it one of the first renewable sources of waterproofing in the industry. Compared to fluorination technology, it offers similar levels of performance, waterproofing, durability, and breathability. Recycling Post Consumer Textiles Textile Offcut   Background As an industry that is under strict scrutiny for its excessive use of natural and fossil resources, the fashion industry has been developing new materials through recycling technologies to reduce its impact on the environment. Prioritizing the use of recycled resources within the textile and clothing industry is currently an effective strategy to reduce its impact on resources and the environment. Application 1.Mechanical recycling technology involves recovering wool or cotton fibers, as well as synthetic fibers, from post-consumer textiles or processing waste to produce recycled wool, cotton, and synthetic fibers. This process requires relatively high standards for recovered resources. 2.Chemical recycling technology has more development potential than mechanical recycling, but its environmental impact during production needs to be considered. Qingdao Amino Material Co., Ltd. in China has developed a new recyc...

Sustainable Approach of Paris Fashion Week Events Marine Serre continues to make a grand presentation with her Fall/Winter 2023 presentation at Paris Fashion Week, taking over the Grande Halle de La Villette. Three towers of various materials were dimly lit as center stage, including that denim and cotton t-shirts, a comment on sustainability no doubt, setting the tone for the show. Business Value The fashion collection "Rising Shelter" by Marine Serre showcases the sustainability and social responsibility of the fashion industry, proposing new ideas and challenges for the future development of the industry. Sustainability of Copenhagen Fashion Week Events First unveiled back in 2020, Copenhagen Fashion Week’s sustainability action plan means all brands on its schedule have to meet its 18 minimum requirements, which cover six key areas: strategic direction, design, smart material choices, working conditions, consumer engagement and show production. This season – autumn/winter 2023 – marks the first time that the requirements have been fully implemented, following a series of pilot tests over the past two years. Business Value Copenhagen Fashion Week has risen with its environmentally friendly business model, forming its own commercial characteristics. With the maturation of this business model, it has gradually gained the ability to influence future fashion trends alongside the four major fashion weeks, which are recognized as global trendsetters. Eco-friendly Brand Promotion Events 1.The proposal to restrict PFAS prepared by authorities in Denmark, Germany, Finland, Norway, and Sweden will be submitted to the European Chemicals Agency on January 13, 2023. The proposal aims to reduce the release of PFAS into the environment and make products and processes safer. If the EU's restriction measures are officially enacted, it will have a significant impact on China's fluorochemical industry and affect products using traditional waterproof and stain-resistant finishing processes, such as sportswear products. 2.US outdoor equipment company REI announced in 2021 that it will ban the use of products containing PFA in the fashion retail industry and gradually eliminate products that have already been produced that contain PFA, to ensure that its products meet the standard of being completely free of PFA. It has pledged to stop selling all products containing PFA by fall 2024. Business Value 1.Government agencies will begin to introduce laws and regulations at an exponential rate to help achieve climate goals. Businesses need to pay attention to adopting the best environmental practices so that both their brand and their products can withstand future tests. 2.Companies need to take action ahead of customer supply chain upgrades and national legislation to focus on environmental sustainability, including technological innovations, regulations, and upgrading target business standards, starting from now.

To determine the stretch recovery of yoga wear fabric, there are several factors to consider: 1.Fabric Composition The type of fiber used in the fabric can affect its stretch recovery. Natural fibers like cotton tend to have poor recovery, while synthetic fibers like nylon and spandex have better recovery. 2. Fabric construction The way the fabric is constructed, including the knit or weave pattern, can also impact its stretch recovery. Fabrics with tighter knits or weaves tend to have better recovery. 3. How to do the stretch test Stretch Test: To test the stretch recovery of a fabric, you can perform a simple stretch test. Cut a small sample of fabric and stretch it to its maximum length, hold for a few seconds, and then release. Observe how quickly and completely the fabric returns to its original shape. 4. Durability The stretch recovery of a fabric can also be affected by its durability. Repeated stretching and washing can cause some fabrics to lose their recovery over time. 5. Moisture management Moisture Management: Moisture can affect the stretch recovery of a fabric. Fabrics that wick away moisture and dry quickly tend to have better recovery. When shopping for yoga wear, look for fabrics that have good stretch recovery to ensure they will retain their shape after repeated use. Fabrics with synthetic fibers like nylon and spandex, and tight knits or weaves, are typically good choices. Be sure to also consider the garment's durability and moisture management properties.
