To Textechno's 'Cotton Control Line' several innovative instruments have been added including the MDTA 4 microdust-, neps-, trash-, and fibre-length tester as well as the automatic capacitiveevenness- and count tester for slivers and rovings COVASLIVE.

STATIMAT DS combines testing of tensile properties, unevenness, and count of yarn and thread in one tester. The three tests on each package presented by the package changer are performed in rapid succession.

With regard to testing technology and technical realization the STATIMAT DS offers numerous technical and technological novelties, united with a new design philosophy.

New study shows low environmental impact by Cotton made in Africa Organic Cotton from Tanzania

Today, the Aid by Trade Foundation (AbTF) is announcing the results of a comprehensive life-cycle analysis (LCA) for cotton produced in Tanzania under the Cotton made in Africa Organic (CmiA Organic) standard. The study emphasises the small ecological footprint of CmiA Organic verified cotton. This can largely be traced back to the absence of synthetic pesticides, artificial fertilisers, and artificial irrigation. Consequently, CmiA Organic cotton can help the textile industry meet regulatory requirements as well as science-based targets. The results also show that the consequences of climate change threaten the livelihoods of these cotton farmers, even though the type of agriculture they practise barely contributes to climate change.
