Sustainability
Sustainability is a key theme this year, and so Patrik will be discussing the future of material regeneration in his Expert Talk at Performance Days 2024.
Textile waste is one of the world’s biggest problems. The fashion industry extracts the world’s valuable, finite resources to make clothes that end up being burned, buried or sent to landfill sites across the world. Reju has another vision for our world. A world where things are designed to last.
Performance Days is renowned for showcasing cutting-edge materials and sustainable practices in the textile industry. As the textile industry navigates a rapidly changing world, the need for sustainable solutions in fabric production has never been more critical. This fair brings together thought leaders and brands committed to pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in functional fabrics.
