INDUSTRY NEWS

IFAI Expo 2018 show named as a Gold 100 Grand Award finalist
Industrial Fabrics Association International's (IFAI) Expo 2018 show has been announced
as a finalist for Trade Show Executive Magazine's Gold 100 Grand Award for the Do-Gooder
award category for work with the Manufacturing for Good booth. The Do-Gooder
category is for shows that promote events for philanthropy or social causes. IFAI Expo
2018 made giving back a priority by putting together the Manufacturing for Good booth.
The booth brought together Expo exhibitors, attendees and sponsors to produce duffel
bags for The Bridge Homeless Recovery Center at a live demo booth on the show floor.

ORTA awards bio-inspired prize

Retailers urge approval of USMCA

ORTA, a sustainable denim manufacturer
headquartered in Turkey, awarded its prize
for Bio-Inspired Textile Processes to a team
of Australian students from the Royal
Melbourne Institute of Technology, RMIT
University. The students developed Enzer,
a water filtration and treatment system that
can be retrofitted to washing machines to
tackle the issue of microplastics released in
the washing cycle by polyester, nylon, acrylic
and other synthetic fibers.

The National Retail Federation urged
Congress to take action after its annual
August recess to approve the U.S.-MexicoCanada Agreement (USMCA), which would
modernize trade between the three countries
and replace the landmark North American
Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). Since
NAFTA took effect 25 years ago, e-commerce
has changed how businesses operate and how
consumers purchase goods, but the agreement
still lacks provisions relating to digital trade.
By ratifying the USMCA, Congress will help
ensure that the new agreement reflects today's
global economy.

Smart laundries developed
In June 2019, the IntWash research
project, led by Hohenstein, began focusing
on the opportunities and challenges of
intelligent laundries. The establishment of
Industry 4.0 concepts in laundries will be
promoted through Hohenstein's research
network, targeted marketing measures and
international cooperation. The project,
funded by the German Federal Ministry of
Education and Research (BMBF), aims to
create easier access to information on the
future of work in intelligent laundries. Open
discussion will be made possible through
workshops, webcasts and publications on an
internet platform. The measures and concepts
developed should also have a positive effect
on the digitization of the textile value chain
and promote topics such as environmental
protection and occupational safety.

20 REVIEW OCTOBER 2019

Smart textiles terms defined
ASTM International's smart textiles
subcommittee has approved its first
standard, a compilation of industry terms.
The subcommittee developed terms and
definitions that can be used by anyone
involved in smart textiles, including
manufacturers, suppliers, retailers, regulatory
bodies, consumers, laboratories and military
personnel. The smart textile terminology
standard provides the ability to objectively
classify and differentiate some of the new
materials and products in the industry. The
terms may be used to advertise and describe
new products to consumers. They can also be
used by regulatory and safety bodies to classify
products and their intended performance.

AATCC launches education endowment
In November 2021, the American Association
of Textile Chemists and Colorists (AATCC) will
celebrate its 100th anniversary, and to mark
this occasion, AATCC Foundation launched
the 100 for 100 Endowment Campaign. The
goal is to raise $500,000 to fully endow AATCC
Foundation scholarships and fellowships. In
addition, a longtime member of AATCC has
put forth a challenge to endow two AATCC
Foundation Graduate Fellowships by matching
donations now through May 31, 2020. The
Connelly/Perkins Graduate Fellowship is a
$5,000 fellowship for U.S. students pursuing
a Ph.D. with a focus on fibrous and polymeric
materials at Clemson University. The Grady,
Hauser, Houser, Daniels Graduate Fellowship
is a $5,000 fellowship for U.S. citizens pursuing
a Ph.D. in Fiber and Polymer Science at North
Carolina State University.

Monforts charts textile success
In addition to launching its new and expanded
website, A. Monforts Textilmaschinen GmbH
& Co. KG has issued two new publications
celebrating the achievements of its major
customers. The first edition of Monforts
World of European Textiles profiles a range of
companies at the forefront of manufacturing
in Europe serving a wide range of end-use
markets from high-end silk and polyamide
fabrics for the luxury brands to nonwovens
and technical textiles for digital printing,
protective clothing, wall coverings and more.
In addition, the seventh edition of Monforts
World of Denim details the latest developments
from market leaders in denim production.
