Tonello presents THE Laser, the new innovative, revolutionary laser line

The big turning point that the denim world has been waiting for has finally arrived: after a long period of research, refinement, and fine tuning, Tonello is launching THE Laser on the market, the range that is destined to represent the new benchmark for the entire sector.

THE Laser, the absolute Laser

A new software, a totally reinvented process. Design and quality finally together, to offer more productivity, flexibility, speed, accuracy, and repeatability. Overall dimensions reduced by as much as a third; possibility of working a continuous cycle, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week; incredible software performance and uncompromising quality: for combining technology and creativity, and pushing them beyond every limit.

These are just a few of THE Laser pluses, presented last Wednesday at the Tonello live-web event.

THE Laser is much more than a new line of machines: it is another (R)evolution signed Tonello, a radical paradigm shift that will result in a better and more efficient way of working.

In other words, Tonello has reinvented the Laser, changed the rules of the game, and nothing will ever be the same again.

THE Laser, the range

Lab, Table, Table & Mannequin, Conveyor: these are the magnificent 4 components of the most complete Laser range ever, to meet all production, creative, and logistic needs.

THE Laser Lab: the most compact, smart, and cool laser in the range. It is characterized not only by its compactness, but also by its easy installation, maintenance, and handling, as well as by the options for it being placed in either shops or in production contexts, depending on the power and, therefore, the speed.

THE Laser Table: is the new Tonello proposal for table work.?Compact in its total volume, but with a larger work area, it is easy to use and allows you to operate either on the entire surface of the table, or alternating processes in two distinct areas. This allows fast, flexible, and alternating production of the garments.

THE Laser Table & Mannequin: radically changes the approach to “table + mannequin” technology. It integrates the innovative features of the Laser Table with the new oblique mannequin, which reduces the overall dimensions of the machine and allows for improved performance of the fully automatic and super-rapid change between the two working modes. The mannequin can also be marked at a full 360 degrees.

THE Laser Conveyor: machine for continuous processing on conveyor belt or traditional fixed table. It allows non-stop laser processing and garment unloading. Ideal for T-shirts and knitwear, it is also particularly flexible for laser cutting jeans.

Co-stars of the range are the absolute latest developments CREA and B.O.P. CREA is a software conceived and developed by designers for designers, smart, intuitive, and user-friendly. Its infinite creative tools allow you to easily modify a design in an instant, directly “on the machine”, and to go directly to production. B.O.P. or Be On Point, is a “one touch” automatic positioning system for design, which does not require particular operator accuracy or precision. This increases the quality and repeatability of marking, while significantly reducing execution times. (Because THE Laser is not only the most complete and innovative range of lasers, it is also the most intelligent, creative and flexible range, already projected towards the future. Otherwise it would not be signed Tonello.)

All of THE Laser’s groundbreaking innovations will be presented for the second time in an exclusive online event, twice on Thursday 26 November: at 9.30am and 5pm (CET). To learn more and participate, click here:

Blue Jeans Go Green celebrates 20 years of denim recycling with more than six million items collected

Cotton Incorporated is celebrating the 20th anniversary of its Blue Jeans Go Green™ denim recycling program. Since its launch in 2006, the initiative has collected more than six million denim items, diverted over 3,000 tons of textile waste from landfills and enabled the production of more than 12 million square feet of denim-based insulation. What began as a college campus collection drive has developed into a nationwide recycling initiative involving consumers, retailers, schools and community organisations across the United States.

Jeanologia and BCome connect factory data with Life Cycle Assessment and Digital Product Passports

A new white paper by EIM by Jeanologia and BCome demonstrates how primary environmental data from denim finishing processes can be integrated into a garment's Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and prepared for use in a Digital Product Passport (DPP). A comparative case study highlights significant improvements at the production stage while also showing how these translate into the environmental performance of the finished garment.

Inside the Making connects denim and sportswear supply chains at Ecomondo 2026

Six European companies are joining forces at Ecomondo 2026 in Rimini to demonstrate how different stages of denim and sportswear production are interconnected. The new initiative, Inside the Making, highlights the importance of cooperation across the textile supply chain in addressing sustainability challenges, from reducing resource consumption to improving transparency and the reliability of environmental claims.

Circulose resumes recycling of discarded cotton textiles and appoints interim CEO

Circulose today announced its restart of commercial-scale production plant at Ortviken in Sundsvall, Sweden, marking a significant step in scaling next-generation materials for the global fashion industry. The Ortviken plant is the world’s first commercial-scale chemical textile recycling facility. Its restart demonstrates that the fashion industry is seeking ways to scale proven solutions that move beyond pilots and into commercial production.

Itema brings textile versatility to ITMA ASIA + CITME 2026

Itema announces its participation in ITMA ASIA + CITME 2026, taking place November 20–24 at the National Exhibition and Convention Center in Shanghai. In Hall 3 – Stand D06, the company will showcase two Galileo-RX rapier weaving machines weaving heavy denim and conveyor belt fabrics, demonstrating its ability to address different textile requirements with application-specific configurations. Five additional Itema machines at partner booths will extend the exhibition lineup to upper shoe fabric, label, Jacquard leno fabrics, and shirting, offering visitors a broader view of Itema rapier and air-jet weaving technologies.

Brückner showcases sustainable technologies for the future of textile finishing at ITMA ASIA 2026
