Fashion brands took a dressing down at the COP26 UN Climate Change Conference, in part due to their collective tens of millions of gallons of oil used annually to produce garments. Synthetic fabrics and plastic fibers were caught in the crosshairs, sending a clear message to the industry to pull up its socks when it comes to sustainability. But is singling out and blaming the fashion industry hitting below the belt?

Maruti Printing transformed its business as the first printer in India to adopt the latest LED-UV curing technology from AMS Spectral UV, a Baldwin Technology Company. The hybrid system, which includes traditional UV modules, has been in production for nearly two years and has significantly expanded the offset printer’s capabilities for its customers, including adding the ability to print on all types of plastic substrates.

At the Swedish Textile Machinery Association’s recent conference on Sustainable Finishing of Textiles, delegates heard that Sweden will introduce extended producer responsibility (EPR) for waste textiles and clothing at the beginning of 2022, ahead of the adoption of a similar European Union-wide EPR system in 2025.

Members of the Swedish Textile Machinery Association including Baldwin Technology are proving instrumental in pioneering new sustainable processes for the dyeing, finishing and decoration of textiles. The wasteful processes involved in these manufacturing stages are only one component in the development of viable circular supply chains for textiles that are now being aggressively established in Sweden.

Baldwin’s TexCoat G4 non-contact spray technology was among the technologies in the spotlight.
