The global push to replace PFAS-based fabric treatments has driven significant research into safer, more sustainable liquid-repellent coatings.

Researchers recently optimized fiber diameter for nonwoven fabrics using advanced statistical tools, enhancing production efficiency and fabric performance for diverse applications.

PFAS regulation. Should they stay, or should they go? Legislative insights offer answers to common questions.

Lignin, a significant byproduct of the pulp and paper industry, accounts for approximately 75 million tons of waste annually. This vast quantity of waste presents both a challenge and an opportunity.

In the face of escalating environmental challenges, the textile industry is embracing a transformative shift towards sustainability. This review delves into the burgeoning field of natural antimicrobial agents as a sustainable alternative to conventional chemical treatments, which have historically posed significant environmental hazards.

AQUACHILL™ Dispersion coating emerges as an innovative solution to address cool-touch performance in bedding clothes.

Trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) stands out as a promising alternative to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), known as “forever chemicals,” due to its lower environmental impact while maintaining similar benefits.

Celanese Corporation and Under Armour, Inc. have joined forces to introduce NEOLAST™, a groundbreaking fiber for performance stretch fabrics. NEOLAST™ provides elite-level performance attributes—stretch, durability, and comfort—while addressing sustainability challenges linked to traditional elastane (spandex) fibers.

PUMA launches RE: FIBRE program which aims to include materials from a fiber-to-fiber recycling process instead of using recycled PET from other applications. The RE: FIBRE process utilizes textile waste as its main material source.

The fashion industry is disrupting the PET circular economy by taking it into an application that recycles less than 1% of its products.
