No CITEVE desenvolvem-se têxteis técnicos com aplicação militar, alguns em uso pelas Forças Armadas 🇵🇹, numa parceria de mais de duas décadas com a Defesa Nacional. A ministra Helena Carreiras foi conhecer os laboratórios de Vila Nova de Famalicão. #GovernoMaisProximo

Wrapping up our #tExtended second Plenary Meeting in Vila Nova do Famalicão, Portugal - fantastic opportunity for all the partners to meet in person again, discuss the progress of the project and our future plans. See you in six months in 🇪🇸!

📢Textile ETP Annual Conference & @citeve's iTechStyle Summit is on! Follow us here as we go through the 3⃣-day event focusing on the new technologies for the future 🇪🇺 textile ecosystem! A warm welcome from @citeve's Antonio Amorim & Braz Costa, & ETP President Michael Kamm.

Dirk Vantyghem from EURATEX & our SG Lutz Walter opened the event! Dirk set the scene up by presenting the recent developments from Brussels: ecodesign regulations, transition pathways.. The EU is committed to investing in the textile ecosystems to foster circular economy♻️

Lutz outlined 3⃣major challenges that the industry faces: 🌿defossilise & use biobased material supply 🔋renewal energy 🦾digitalization & processes automation These challenges are crucial to achieve sustainable & innovative advancements. Sustainability is quality.

Good morning Porto!☀️ Starting Day 2⃣with Commissioner Elisa Ferreira who emphasised the role of Europe in paving the way to more circularity & sustainability on a global scale, highlighting the importance of the EU Textile Strategy to drive our sector in the right direction🌿

First session on ecodesign: our speakers urged to see the value in textile by-products instead of treating them as waste, & stressed the need for collaboration in the value chain! Ecodesign first keeps products usable as long as possible & then uses innovative recycling methods.

In our 2nd session on ecodesign, we focused on the Digital Product Passport & blockchain. Traceability may be the🔑to decarbonise the economy, transforming linear industrial value chains to minimise pollution, making better use of waste, & guaranteeing environmental standards.

This morning at "Textile ETP Annual Conference and iTechStyle Summit", Claudia Castelli and Loris Maestri illustrated the key role of #technicalfibers in #ecodesign.

Delighted to see the amazing story of transformation & leadership of 🇪🇺 textile industry in last decades It shows that it pays off to adapt & innovate on transition towards high value-added products Congrats & thanks CITEVE & Textile ETP for this opportunity to meet & discuss

🌿Sustainable nonwovens using eucalyptus 🫙Oilseed flax 🥛Milk casein filaments 🧶Herewear's biopolyester & improved PLA yarns .... As the afternoon focuses on biobased materials, we first hear about alternative fibres!

Finally, we discovered biobased processes such as synthetic biology and bacteria-based dyeing, which have the potential to transform the industrial landscape, paving the way for new models of production that prioritize environmental and social responsibility! ⚙️
