Swedish machine builders set for Scandinavia’s textiles 4.0 circular revolution
New digital technologies from TMAS members represent the perfect bridge for sustainable new fibres on their route to the finished garments of responsible brands on the retail shelves.
Several
members of TMAS – the Swedish Textile Machinery Association – are actively
advancing new coloration technologies as part of a wave of innovation that is
currently sweeping out from Scandinavia.
New
manufacturers of regenerated cellulosic fibres as alternatives to cotton and
synthetics, for example, have been gaining a lot of attention recently, as they
scale up to meet demands for a circular approach to the manufacturing of
textiles and garments.
These
companies have, in turn, been embraced by major Scandinavian brands such as the
Danish clothing company Bestseller, Finnish fashion house Marimekko, Norwegian
outdoor brand Bergans and Sweden’s own H&M Group.
