Many ‘News’ At 16th Performance Days

The 16th Performance Days ended recently with a 6% increase in the number of visitors. In addition to all the major fabrics, fibers, and accessory suppliers, the trade fair provides all pertinent background information required for rapid decision-making.

Major topics: Recycling and new colour cards for the sport segment

This edition of the trade fair featured several visitor highlights - the free hourly presentations were filled to capacity; and, the selection of fabrics at the Performance Forum was studied in detail.

The visitors also proved to be very interested in the focus topic "Recycled? Challenges & Opportunities!" as well as in the highlights at the Jury's Pick Table and the backgrounds of the recycled fabrics. For the first time, closed workshops were organised by the exhibitors on important subjects related to the trade fair's focus topic and were very well received.

This fair featured not only a lecture about the new colour trends for Summer 2018, but also the brand new Performance Colors - a colour card developed by designer Nora Kühner available for purchase as an exclusive service at the trade fair.

Eco Performance Award for Extraordinary Recycling Laminate

The edition of the trade fair was especially rewarding for Japanese exhibitor Toyota Tsusho Corporation, which was selected as the winner of the ECO PERFORMANCE AWARD for its Gelanots laminate.

This laminate convinced the expert jury not only because of its highly functional nature in terms of water proofing and breathability, but also mostly for its ecological added value.

As a true cradle-to-cradle product, it is not only manufactured from 100% recycled polyester (including the membrane!), but also the purity of this variety means that it can be easily recycled again and again and, therefore, is the perfect product to represent the real idea behind sustainable recycling.
