During my exchange last semester in Munich, I discovered that Germany is a leader in sustainability while also being highly industrialized. I was impressed with what I found. The automotive industry has always caught my attention due to the complexity of its supply chain and the constant need for innovation. One of the current challenges faced by the industry is sustainability. While walking around Munich, one can observe the prevalence of electric cars and the importance that Germans place on environmental issues. The BMW Group is a prominent company in Munich, known for its iconic BMW WELT and BMW museum. During my visit to the museum, I saw an exhibition called 'Innovation Drives the Future' that focused on sustainability. I learned about BMW's efforts in sustainable transformation, including their commitment to circularity. For instance, when a vehicle reaches the end of its useful life, many of its parts are repurposed as raw materials for new ones. Recycled materials are used for upholstery, seats, carpets, and floor coverings. The plastic used in these materials is obtained from recycled PET. Vegan alternatives are also used to ensure that the final product meets the requirements for appearance, resistance, durability, and wear and tear. These actions have a positive impact, including the use of secondary materials, production without methane gas, reduced water waste, and lower CO2 emissions. At BMW, achieving a circular economy is a top priority. They not only strive to provide their customers with the best cars but also recognize the impact that car production has on the environment. Therefore, they have taken on the task of improving and adapting sustainable strategies to reduce carbon emissions. The company's commitment to sustainability is evident in its exhibition at the museum, which aims to educate and raise awareness about the importance of environmental factors.

🎰 the month of MASJIEN 🎰 We see recap time as a moment to celebrate but it is also a good moment to take a step back. Same as preparing for a board meeting, you look back, evaluate, translate and adapt. Last but not least, it shows what Masjien is all about and how you could possibly translate that to what we can bring to your company, organisation or projects.   This is how we kickstarted 2024! ✔ Position switch for Jasmien with double win: more time for Masjien and a senior Sustainability advisory role at Xandres ✔ FTI Hasselt has kicked off with the launch of the website and press conference, you can already get a sneak peak of the 'circular fashion track' we're curating! 🧐 ✔ Gazet van Antwerpen interviewed Ann, covering the kick ass programme Flanders Technology & Innovation in Antwerp and the ticket sale started, yay! ✔ We presented an overview of the upcoming EU Textile Strategy Legislation and a ‘how to avoid Greenwashing’ keynote at the Master Lab ‘Ready for Europe’ by Flanders DC & Creamoda Belgian Fashion ✔ We gave workshops for 10-year-olds in several schools in Gent, based on the book Jasmien wrote with Judith, ‘Do pants grow on trees?’. The winners of our quiz received an award powered by De Kringwinkel Ateljee, who welcomed them afterwards to show them how social economy works in practice. ✔ Remember we started 2024 by kicking those new years resolutions in the ⚽⚽ ? Our first 20 trees were planted in our Masjien forest thanks to Go Forest ! Onwards and upwards, February - here we gooooo! 🚀 #teammasjien #fashion #technology #innovation #circularity #workshops #keynotes #consulting #FTI #curating #sustainability #textilestrategy

Hello Paris, hello PV, It's great to be back at Premier Vision in Paris! This show is always a real highlight and brings a lot of inspiration and innovation. Here are a few facts I would like to share with you: 1 **Sustainability in focus:** This year, the trade fair is placing great emphasis on sustainable textiles and innovative recycling technologies. From biodegradable fabrics to new circular economy methods, the industry is making great strides towards environmental protection. 2 **Technological innovations:** I was particularly impressed by the presentation of textile smart technologies. From fabrics with integrated sensors to materials that change color depending on the ambient temperature - it's fascinating to see how technology and textiles are merging. 3 **Global networking:** Premier Vision provides a platform to connect with leading textile manufacturers and designers from around the world. It is inspiring to see how global collaboration drives new trends and developments. The energy and the dialogue here are simply indescribable. I can hardly wait to bring all the impressions home with me. And I'm sure our TW editorial team will also be bringing back some exciting topics from Paris to be covered in our Fabric Special at the end of August.... Well, and if you'd like to be part of the Fabric Special and use the reach of TW for your message... I'm here 😊 talk to me and we'll certainly find a great way to integrate you.

The sustainability unleashed by The Sustainable Angle at #FutureFabricsExpo 2024 was beyond amazing! Balloons, beans and even cigarette butts! Honestly! The creativity and commitment on display was as inspiring as it was compelling. And then there's the breadth of expertise and education in one place! Immersive is the word that springs to mind. The research and talented graphics teams that worked on the info boards, must be shouted out too. Absolutely excellent presentations of some very nuanced sustainability issues. What I appreciate most about the panels, both those on display and those on stage, is the goal of taking this conversation out of a 'Right vs Wrong' choice on everything. Sustainability is a very complex scene. Demonstrated by the fact we don't yet have an agreed definition in this context! Competing views on many issues can make for a confusing presentation. Especially for those who want to make well informed choices, but may give up as the overwhelm sets in. At FFE 24 the breadth of info on display I believe, allowed more people to see where they may fit in to the bigger solution. That there are many small choices to be made as experiments that then lead to being actively involved in the bigger change. The BIG Takeaway: DON'T GIVE UP! There are rapidly growing numbers of resources and people on the same team as you.
