🌿 Signature Products GmbH & Die Hanf-App GmbH Join NaturalFIBER Initiative 🤝 Signature Products GmbH and Die Hanf-App GmbH are now members of the NaturalFIBER Circle, a project of the Alliance of Fibre-based Materials Baden-Württemberg (AFBW). This collaboration aims to strengthen regional value chains and enhance sustainability in Baden-Württemberg’s fibre industry. 🌱 Eco-Friendly Shift The NaturalFIBER BW project is committed to transitioning from a fossil-based economy to a green economy, focusing on the cultivation of natural fibres like hemp, flax, and nettle to support regional biodiversity and local economic growth. By networking stakeholders from agriculture to industry, the initiative seeks to inspire sustainable practices and create new economic ecosystems. 🌟 Driving Regional Progress This initiative not only boosts sustainability in textiles but sets a regional example of how natural resources can drive innovative and ecological advancements. We at Signature Products GmbH and Die Hanf-App GmbH are happy and grateful to be part of this important project. For more information about NaturalFIBER, read our blog article or visit the website.

This years theme was The Garden of Time ⏳How on-theme were the outfits at the Met ? That can be for you to decide but so many missed an opportunity to highlight the fragility of our garden - Earth. Perhaps one year the Met Gala carpet will be filled with fabrics and one offs that can be returned to the Garden over Time 🌿 It may seem idealistic but we can get there through embracing innovation 🧪Did you know that innovative biotechnology processes are revolutionizing the way we produce fabrics? From lab-grown fibers to bio-based dyes, these cutting-edge technologies offer a greener alternative to traditional methods, reducing environmental impact without compromising on quality. These new materials will provide a whole new catalogue of mediums for brands unleash their creativity. #SustainableFashion #Biotechnology #Innovation #FashionRevolution

#Biofabricate What is it that makes Paris, the home of fashion, so relevant to the prospering biofabrication industry? As companies scale their production capacities, innovative solutions that will create systemic and long-lasting change in the supply chain are coming ever more within reach. Find out about the most recent cross-industry partnerships and launches announced at this year's biofabrication summit in Paris in my recent background article for ndion.

BioFibreLoop 👕 ♻ – a journey towards sustainable textiles: People require more and more textiles with smart functionalities (e.g. hydrophobicity) for outdoor, work or active wear. At the same time, the textile industry struggles to become more sustainable. Facing this challenge, our EU funded project BioFibreLoop has started in June 2024 with a duration of 3.5 years. We are 13 partners from nine countries, aiming to deliver high-quality textiles with desired smart functional properties while maintaining sustainability. 🚀 Follow our journey here on LinkedIn in the upcoming months and years to learn more about the project and to receive updates about the project’s activities and results. 😊 Our partners in the project are: Deutsche Institute für Textil- und Faserforschung Denkendorf (DITF), Next Technology Tecnotessile, ALPhANOV, Knopf's Sohn, FreyZein - NextGen Textiles, BE Engineers for Society, BAT Graphics Vernitech, imec, IDENER.AI, VTT, Det Nationale Forskningscenter for Arbejdsmiljø (NFA/NRCWE) and NIL Textile European Health and Digital Executive Agency (HaDEA) #BioFibreLoop #CircularTextiles #Sustainability #CircularEconomy #biobasedtextiles #lignin #cellulose #PLA

Polymers? We all have heard about the huge impact plastic has on the environment and for human health (e.g. microplastics). What we need to talk more about is on the incredible scientific advances on the field. At the International Conference of #Polymers2024, last week in Athens (Greece), I had the good fortune of hearing about last advancements in polymer science to produce safe and sustainable materials and alternative materials. It was discussed clean, green, and efficient production processes. As well as polymers life cycle assessments and risk assessments, techniques for decontamination and environmental remediation, and many techniques for polymer recycling and reuse.  It was a huge event full of innovations in polymers technologies towards sustainable development. At the conference I also presented the market analysis for the Redondo project with Cristina Onorato and IOANNA DELIGKIOZI. And learnt more about many projects my colleagues from AXIA Innovation GmbH work in. #Polymers2024 #conference #posterpresentation #redondo #euproject
