Shanghai to host Planet Textiles Summit

Planet Textiles Summit on textiles and sustainability is scheduled for the October 14 in Shanghai, alongside Intertextile Shanghai Apparel Fabrics, (scheduled from October 13-15), and is organised by Messe Frankfurt. The Planet Textiles Summit will touch key topics such as tough new environmental legislation in the Chinese textile sector and how it is being enforced. One of the speakers is, Zhao Lin of Solidaridad who will highlight the work of the Better Mill Initiative in China. The three-year Better Mill Initiative (BMI), in partnership with H&M and other major international retailers was launched by Solidaridad.

Besides the summit, the fair will also feature an increasingly popular ‘All About Sustainability’ zone. This was created in response to demand, from both Chinese and global textiles industry. This year’s zone is bigger by 30 per cent, and features three sections: an educational zone, and ecoBoutique display and a seminar area.

Wendy Wen, Senior General Manager of Messe Frankfurt (HK), said sustainability is a major issue in China since the past few years. It’s not just the government and the textile industry that are concerned with this issue, but even the consumers are concerned, as they have become more conscious of protecting the environment. She added that both, the Planet Textiles Summit and All About Sustainability were a response to the increasing interest in China.

The summit as well as the fair will take place at the newly built National Convention and Exhibition Center, Shanghai, China. Planet Textiles 2015 will take place in English, and have simultaneous translations in Chinese.
