Other than the burgeoning market for recycled yarn, which is projected to reach USD 8.31 billion by 2030 (CAGR: 7.8%)1, eco-textile demands are reflected and addressed in various forms. While some companies are more inclined to develop innovative solutions, others utilise existing green materials and processes in their production, backed by recognised certifications. Yarn Expo’s effectiveness for providing a sustainable platform for industry exchange has been commented on by numerous exhibitors and visitors. The fair’s extensive international reach, wide product offering, and impactful fringe programme have increased exposure to innovative trends, propelling the industry towards a greener development landscape.
