Planet Textiles will take place on June 22, 2019 in Barcelona, Spain. The main focus of Planet Textiles 2019 will be on environmental innovation and disruptive technologies. The aim is to get retailers and brands connect directly with dyeing machine builders, garment technology suppliers and weaving or knitting machine companies on the event show floor.
Planet Textiles every four years is the meeting point for the global textile industry. Many of the 1,600 exhibitors, from some 46 countries, tend to work on a four-year product development cycle to coincide with ITMA and next year innovations in sustainability and environmental technology will take center stage at the event.
Planet Textiles will once again be coordinated with the support of the Sustainable Apparel Coalition along with Fashion for Good, which will help to produce the popular Pitches for our Planet innovation series.
For the first time Planet Textiles will also help to coordinate curated tours of ITMA for delegates. Here, visitors will see new innovative new production technology that can significantly improve the environmental footprint of textile supply chains.
Visitors will be able to see first-hand the latest advances in dyeing and finishing, digital printing, fabric manufacture and garment construction as it happens in the workplace.
