The Dornbirn Global Fibre Congress (GFC) will take place on September 13–15, 2023, featuring around 125 lectures on sustainable innovations. It will host speakers from 34 countries, covering subjects such as circularity and a new textile world order.Titles include digitalisation of textile sorting and the potentials of shape memory fibres in 4D textiles.
Among the many titles include ‘Automation and digitalisation of textile sorting for reuse and recycling’, 'Sustainable recycling: How length-preserving tearing contributes to the production of high-quality yarn’, 'From mixed waste to recycling feedstock – automated sorting and pre-processing of post-consumer textiles’, 'Condition monitoring with intelligent sensor fibres to enable sustainable technologies’, and ‘Potentials and opportunities for the use of shape memory fibres in 4D textiles’.
The innovators were organised in cooperation with FashionForGood and PWC. The series of lectures by more than 20 participants ranged from the topics of light-curing processes for stretch textiles, upcycled flexible foam from natural fibres to quantification methods for recycled fibres in fabrics and yarns.
Key topics for Dornbirn GFC 2023 are fibre innovation and biomaterials, sustainability and circular economy, nonwovens and technical textiles, and apparel and sports.
