Modtissimo 60+4, scheduled for September 12-13, is showcasing cutting-edge sustainability in textiles, with a strong focus on the iTechStyle Green Circle, curated by Citeve and Paulo Gomes. The exhibition will feature 28 innovative designs that highlight eco-friendly materials, natural dyes, and energy-efficient processes, emphasizing eco-design principles.

Cristina Castro, Citeve’s public relations officer, notes that this year’s showcase will introduce advancements not only in materials but also in sustainable finishes and processes. The event aligns with European regulations on Digital Product Passports, encouraging participating companies to share their dataa significant step toward transparency and sustainability.

The iTechStyle Showcase, another key attraction, will present finalists for the iTechStyle Awards across Fabrics, Accessories, and Products categories, with a growing emphasis on sustainability. Home textiles, traditionally absent from Modtissimo, are also beginning to seize this platform as an opportunity.

Citeve will promote several mobilizing projects at their stand, including Be@t (Bio economy in Textiles), Texpact (Digitalization of Textiles and Clothing), and RDC (Roadmap for Decarbonization). At the European level, the Resotex project will be highlighted, aiming to foster sustainable entrepreneurship in the textile sector.

Leading industry participants include ASampaio & Filhos, Tintex, Polopique, and Lameirinho, among others, covering fabrics, products, and accessories categories.
