VN Markt 12.2022: Der Konsument kann viel bewirken - Skinfit und TCCV erforschen gemeinsam Textil-Lebenszyklus. WISTO vor(W)ort - Was wir bei Vorarlberger Unternehmen erfahren: Podcast 12.2022:
A mixture of calcium chloride, ethanol and water was developed for the separation and recovery of polyamide for further usage. The ‘circular economy’ concept envisages deriving the maximum value out of resources and reducing waste to a minimum. In textiles, that includes the recovery of fiber materials out of used clothing and [...]
Piezoresistive active floor mat consists of 256 sensors can detect the human stepping position, activity status on the floor. Due to the gravity of the nature, all actions involved with human interact with the floor surface. Human body as well other objects like chair, tables, bed etc. need to be touched on [...]
VISCOSE FIBRES WITH INCORPORATED SILICA ARE AN ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY ALTERNATIVE FOR TEXTILES WITH REDUCED FLAMMABILITY Safety requirements led to widespread use of textile products with reduced flammability. The global production of nearly 3 million tons of flame retardants generates a substantial environmental burden both during synthesis of the chemicals and disposal of [...]
By applying biological degradable materials, the production of textiles will be more sustainable in the future. The textile industry has fallen into environmental disrepute, due to their extensive consumption of natural resources and the lack of a sustainable waste concept for short-lived fashion. Also society shows a greater awareness regarding environmental pollution [...]
