Maroc in Mode would be held in Marrakech, on October 19 -20 and ‘Fashion & Ecology will be specially highlighted at the event. As many as 200 exhibitors are expected to participate in the exhibition. Sustainability is the trend and the demand for eco-friendly products is steadily growing. Morocco is among the countries that follow these challenges for climate protection and clean energy.
The country aims that by 2030, 52 per cent of electricity will be supplied by renewable sources. But sustainability would also play an important role in the Moroccan textile industry to strengthen ecological productions. ‘Green fashion’ finds more supporters worldwide. As a sourcing country, Morocco is attractive in this aspect. There are many reasons: immediate proximity to Europe, zero customs duty due in EU and a stable political situation.
One of the many exhibitors is Chemitex that belongs to worldwide leading textile enterprise which produces in Morocco. Other exhibitors include Vita Couture, that makes textiles for over 20 years, Somitex which produces children and ladie’s fashion for Next, Marks & Spencer and Sainsbury.
