Textile Printing and Sustainability

Very infomative presentations which help us set out a strategy for our future.

The variety and depth of the topics exceeded my expectations. This conference not only broadened my knowledge but also provided important connections for future collaboration.

The real added value of this conference is bringing so many different disciplines together at the same table. Only together we can stay strong and move in the same direction.

An excellent combination of new learning, innovative technology, debate and opinion, not usually accessible on-line or within the exhibition environment.

A varied programme with many interesting seminars. There were subjects relevant to all sectors, and it certainly gave us a lot to think about.

An interesting mix of current updates in regulatory environment and trends and advances printing technologies!

Shaping the Future of Textile Printing

The textile industry is undergoing a profound transformation – driven by sustainability, circularity, and innovation. Regulatory pressures, evolving consumer demands, and global disruptions are accelerating change, reshaping supply chains, and redefining production.

At the heart of this evolution lies print technology. Advances in automation, digitalisation, and sustainable chemistry are unlocking new possibilities for efficiency, flexibility, and environmental responsibility. Nearshoring, waste reduction, and waterless processes are expanding opportunities for both screen and digital printing.

The 3rd Textile Printing & Sustainability Conference (TPS) dives into the trends and solutions shaping the industry’s future – from on-demand fashion and functional textiles to decarbonisation, traceability, and responsible value chains. This year, experience a more interactive and diverse format at the TextilTechnikum in Mönchengladbach’s Monforts Quartier, featuring exclusive tours of Textile Factory 7.0 and Brother’s MicroFactory. Discover firsthand how cloud-powered ecosystems and smart workflows are revolutionising digital print production.

Join experts from analogue and digital printing to explore innovations, share best practices, and navigate the trade-offs of building a sustainable textile future.
