Read more: ??At World Textile Information Network (WTiN)'s Innovative Alternative Materials conference, our Head of Innovation, Lewis E. Shuler II, joined Kintra Fibers and BESTSELLER leaders to discuss “Navigating Material Innovation in the Textile Supply Chain.” Our team also had the privilege of attending several exciting industry events, including: ?? BMW Group’s Climate Week Activation: Breakfast with URBAN X highlighted business’s pushing the boundaries in the circular economy space, with leaders from Levi Strauss & Co., and Eleven Madison Park, emphasizing how consumers can optimize material use in everyday purchases. ???? At the Textile Exchange panels, Sarah Kent from The Business of Fashion discussed reimagining growth in fashion, focusing on how marketing can engage consumers and incentivize sustainable behaviour. The second panel emphasized the importance of collaboration in sustainability, noting how only 14% of C-suite roles in fashion are held by women, highlighting the need for systemic change. ?? Newlab’s Innovator Event, was an immersive day filled with innovators, industry leaders, and investors showcasing the latest climate tech advancements. Inspiring stuff! It was great to see a number of low impact material innovators including Kintra Fibers, Werewool and T?mTex Inc. participating! At the The Explorers Club, Dana Davis led a discussion on Moving Beyond Fashion’s Waste To Protect Nature, highlighting the importance of bringing supply chains into the conversation and the need for regulations to give suppliers a competitive edge. The call for collective action remained a central theme throughout Climate Week. ?? Lastly, BlackRock x Ellen MacArthur Foundation roundtable emphasized the growing momentum for circular business practices – with 70 countries and 55% of global businesses adopting circular models. We left New York Climate Week feeling inspired, energized, and ready to keep pushing forward in our mission to make fashion fit for the future! ?? ???? #ClimateWeekNYC #MicroFibreSolutions #ParadiseTextiles #AlpineGroup #Matter #ClimateAction #TextileSustainability #CleanTech #SustainableFashion #GreenTech #FutureOfFashion

??Paradise Textiles has partnered with UK-based technology start-up Matter on a new filtration system that claims to prevent #microfibres from #textile production from entering waterways?? Branded as Regen, the technology uses Matter's patented, self-cleaning filtration #technology and is described as a low energy, low cost microfibre capture solution that offers “effective wastewater filtration without the carbon impact”.

?? Big News Alert! ?? Tackling the urgent issue of microfibre pollution, Paradise Textiles is proud to announce our collaboration with climate tech leader Matter. to bring the world’s first microfibre filter for textile manufacturing to market!! ? ???Backed by Leonardo DiCaprio’s Green Tech Fund,?Regeneration.VC, and announced during its Annual General Meeting at New York Climate Week - Matter’s Regen.? for Textile Production represents a major advancement in sustainable textile manufacturing setting a new standard for our industry.????? ? Microfibre shedding is a major contributor to microplastic pollution, a significant concern as these tiny particles are now found in our water, air, soil and food sources. Regen.? for Textile Production offers a ground breaking solution, capable of reducing microfibre pollution across the world’s 150,000 textile factories – estimated to be responsible for 20% of the world’s clean water pollution. ? ??We have?spent the last 2.5 years?closely collaborating with Matter to explore how they can adapt and scale?their technology for textile manufacturing. ? Funding early research and guiding Matter’s Microfibre Assessment Program (MAP), to maximize fibre capture across our facilities, we are now excited to announce that Regen.? for Textile Production will debut at our new state-of-the-art low-impact fabric mill in Egypt by Q4 2025, serving as a showcase for brands and manufacturers eager to adopt this revolutionary device.??????? ? ???Join us in leading the charge toward a cleaner, more sustainable future! ? #ParadiseTextiles #Matter #ResponsibleFashion #FashionInnovation #ManufacturingInnovation #TextileInnovation #PollutionPrevention #RegenerationVC

This week, our Head of Innovation, Lewis E. Shuler II, participated in a panel discussion, focused on how to make circular systems succeed, at the Future Fabrics Expo in London. During the panel it was highlighted that Paradise Textiles is a great example of a manufacturer that’s leading the change and working to lessen or ease the burden of implementation. It was also noted that, as an industry, we often assume that manufacturers as a stakeholder will just do what is needed for a brand, but clearly that has not always worked and it’s important for supply chain actors like Paradise, to be part of the conversation and part of the scaling journey. Lewis E. Shuler II shared examples of how Paradise Textiles is doing its part to be a pioneer in helping to create the collective change the industry needs: Bridging development into commercialization 1.????Innovators and fiber companies have focused on their technology, and we are working diligently to move these fibers into running fabrics and secure agreements with brands to switch to these preferred fibers. 2.????Incremental change is key. We are mindful that adopting sustainable products and practices is a journey, and that with each incremental change, we can help lessen impacts, whilst avoiding disrupting our brand partners’ operations or alienating their customers. 3.????As a manufacturer, we also have recycled fiber targets, so it’s important we are focused on the most progressive brands in this space, as it’s a reflection of our work too. 4.????Sudden, radical cost increases can be expensive and risky, which is why creative costing models across the entire value chain - to share the burden of higher costs - are important. 5.????Our point of view is lead the charge now, before regulations come into play; it’s a scramble for teams at brands to prepare for the regulations, which is why we are doing our part to ensure the supply chain side is set up for success. Textile recycling at our garment factories 1.????As we advocate for mono materials it becomes easier to manage off cuts at the garment factory. 2.????We work with a really high volume of materials that fit this bucket. 3.????Looking forward, we see big opportunities to manage post-industrial textile waste on site and turn it into new yarns, whilst complex blends will rely on our advanced recycling partners. Together, we look forward to making fashion fit for the future. #ThreadingtheFuture #ParadiseTextiles #Circularity
