Innovative interlinings for shirt and menswear

Freudenberg Apparel will introduce the latest innovations in shirt interlining technology with the RCY 99xx series, offering weights from 30 g/m2 to 155 g/m2. This series is designed for contemporary fabrics that maintain the natural hand feel, texture, and shape, while also adding a creative edge to shirt design. Additionally, the RCY 39xx series, weighing from 70 g/m2 to 167 g/m2, will be highlighted for its cotton-like hand feel, comparable to traditional cotton interlining. Made with rPET, it ensures durability and low-temperature fusing without visible impurities.

In the fashion segment, the MTW series of bi-elastic twill interlinings will be presented, noted for their strong bond, resilience, and high shape retention even after multiple washes. These features make them ideal for washable jackets and contribute to the durability and longevity of garments. The GBE series will demonstrate its superior bonding and elasticity, perfect for hydro-expansion fabrics like CV and spandex, offering up to 30% stretch adaptability.

Active and outdoor sportswear exhibits

Freudenberg Apparel will showcase a comprehensive range of interlinings from its Active Range, designed for active sportswear. The highlights include rTPE base content interlinings, available in a weight range of 40-90 g/m², suitable for fabrics from lightweight to heavy, as found in leggings, sports bras, and casual wear. Freudenberg Apparel will also display film bonding solutions for seamless applications in bras, briefs, and tees, which emphasize strong shear bonds that eliminate the need for stitching. In the outdoor sportswear segment, a variety of sustainable thermal insulations and linings will be on show, including rPET, biodegradable thermal insulations, and rPET linings, all reflecting Freudenberg´s commitment to sustainability.

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.
