Filo will be held in Italy from September 25 to 26, 2019. The yarn and fiber show will carry forward the FiloFlow sustainability project introduced in February 2019. This is aimed at increasing the sensitivity of companies toward the implementation of sustainable textile production processes.
Concreteness, professionalism, quality and efficiency are the four guidelines of the exhibition. Filo is a business platform where professionals from all over the world meet selected Italian and international companies. The first phase of FiloFlow includes a sheet that all Filo’s exhibitors will receive. The sheet collects information about the company (type, dimension, reports and communications with the stakeholders) and about production practices: raw materials that are used, supply chain’s traceability, energetic consumption, chemical management, waste management, environmental monitoring and implication for ethical and social activities. Participation of the companies in the project is voluntary and is based on self-certification. Companies which meet the required characteristics will be distinguished with the brand FiloFlow. Some of the products will be exhibited in the sustainability area of the show.
Filo organizes many events – both formal and informal – aimed at matching yarn and fiber demand and supply. The layout is efficient and rational, giving visitors a complete view of products from the exhibiting companies.
