New: Econogy Best Practices for recycling
Circular and recycling approaches are gaining increasing significance across all sectors. The juried special shows, 'Econogy Best Practices - samples of recyclable and recycled fibers & yarns' (located in Hall 9.1) and 'Econogy Best Practices - samples of recyclable & recycled textile materials' (located in Hall 12.1), will unveil the hidden treasures for the apparel industry that can be reclaimed from what was once considered waste, as well as which materials are recyclable.
Both showcases will feature successful real-world examples, showcasing the potential of recyclable and recycled fibers and materials.
Additionally, numerous exhibitors will be showcasing their latest recycling technologies and solutions.
Econogy – Orientation, know-how and transparency
"Econogy" stands for all sustainability activities of Messe Frankfurt's Texpertise Network across international trade fairs and provides orientation. The term "Econogy" combines economy and ecology in one word and shows how decisive sustainability is today for the economic success of a company: Sustainability is increasingly becoming an integral part of all entrepreneurial thinking and action. The creative inspiration for the term "Econogy" is the famous quote by David Suzuki, Canadian biologist, publicist and winner of the Alternative Nobel Prize.*
*"We've got to put the 'eco' back into economics." Speech of David Suzuki, 31.10.2008, West Coast Green Conference, San José, California
