17th Symposium TEXTILE FILTER of STFI - Call for Papers open

The Saxon Textile Research Institute (STFI) is organizing the 17th Symposium TEXTILE FILTER on March 11-12, 2025 in Chemnitz. The symposium will look at innovative, high-performance textile filter media for various applications and systems for air, gas, liquid and particle filtration against the background of changing technology. The conference offers the opportunity to intensify cooperation between R&D and industry and to take up new impulses for filter media design.

What topics are of interest to experts?

Under the heading of sustainability, the minimization of air and water pollution, the reduction of environmental and health impacts, and the conservation of resources are among the ongoing trends in filter media development. These measures go hand in hand with increasing filter service life and maximizing cost-effectiveness.

In the future, high-quality filter media will take on additional tasks, such as protecting electronic components from liquids and particles. The automotive industry's transition to e-mobility also requires new, forward-looking filtration solutions. In modern manufacturing, production is becoming increasingly digitized. Smart filters monitor operating parameters, and Filter 4.0 supports digital maintenance and test plans, enabling new approaches in the organization and control of filter systems in real time.

Another significant trend in filter media development is the use of biodegradable materials that can be fully broken down in an environmentally friendly way after their useful life. The integration of nanotechnology enables the production of filter media with improved efficiency and lower permeability to harmful particles. In addition, innovative developments are leading to self-cleaning filter media that significantly increase the lifespan and efficiency of filters.

What will the 17th TEXTILE FILTER Symposium be like?

Parallel to the symposium, there will again be an opportunity to present products, services or the latest research and development results at an accompanying trade exhibition. An appealing cultural program will also be offered at the 17th TEXTILE FILTER Symposium, providing a platform for networking, making new contacts and discussing the latest developments in the filter industry.

Call for papers is open until October 14, 2024

Do the above topics appeal to you and would you like to enrich the symposium with an exciting presentation? The STFI looks forward to your participation and ask you to submit your presentation proposal in the form of a meaningful abstract to our conference team at textile-filter@stfi.de by October 14, 2024. Your suggestions for topics are also very welcome.

The region of renewable raw materials: Central German Alliance for Bioplastics

The development of sustainable plastic solutions is rapidly gaining importance in light of global environ- mental pollution, dwindling fossil resources and ambitious climate protection targets. As part of the re- gional alliance RUBIO, which brings together 18 partners from central Germany and the Berlin-Branden- burg area, the bio-based and biodegradable plastic polybutylene succinate (PBS) was comprehensively investigated, starting with the raw material, through the manufacturing process, to industrial application.

17th Colloquium on Recycling for Textiles with accompanying trade exhibition in Chemnitz

On 3 and 4 December 2025, the 17th colloquium on recycling for textiles will take place at the Hotel Chemnitzer Hof. The event brings together experts from industry, science and research to present and discuss current developments, technologies and business models for a sustainable circular economy in the textile industry.

Kendyr as a climate-friendly cotton alternative: STFI explores new value chains for salinised land in Central Asia

In large parts of Central Asia, decades of cotton irrigation have led to severe soil salinisation, with serious consequences for soil fertility and the future of cotton cultivation. An international research consortium, including the Saxon Textile Research Institute (STFI), has therefore investigated the potential of alternative fibre plants. The focus was on Apocynum spp. (kendyr), a bast fibre plant that can thrive on saline soils. The aim: to restore the agricultural use of former cotton fields and establish new textile value chains in the region.

Tour de LOOP Exclusive specialist trip to Chemnitz – textile art and design in the European Capital of Culture 2025

The European Capital of Culture 2025, Chemnitz, opened its doors to textile designers, textile artists and experts from the fields of fashion, art and textiles: the Tour de LOOP on 26 and 27 May 2025 took participants on an exclusive professional tour of one of Europe's most traditional and innovative textile regions. 19 visitors from Europe explored Chemnitz and its textile region. They came from the Nether- lands, Austria, the Czech Republic, Great Britain and Germany.

Sustainable athletic wear made from bio-based Polyethylene

Conventional sports textiles made from petroleum-based synthetic fibres are to be replaced in the future by sustainable, bio-based, cooling textiles. Polyethylene, previously used mainly in the packaging industry, is thus qualified for use in textiles and, as a bio-based drop-in solution, offers a cost-effective, sustainable alternative for the future.

Innovation center for textile circular economy inaugurated

Just over eight months after the foundation stone was laid, the new Innovation Center for Textile Circular Economy was officially inaugurated today at TITK Rudolstadt. Thuringia's Minister President Mario Voigt, TITK Director Benjamin Redlingshöfer, and other guests of honor cut the ribbon to the modern building complex and viewed the premises, which are now ready for occupancy. The “DICE – Demonstration and Innovation Center for Textile Circular Economy” is TITK's largest single investment to date. The Free State of Thuringia supported the total cost of €11.5 million with €8 million in GRW and FTI funding.

Sustainable design of Geosynthetics and roof underlayments made from recyclates

Is it possible to recover plastic recyclates from previously unused waste streams in order to produce high-quality fibers and films? How can bio-based polymer fibers be manufactured so as to allow adjustable biodegradability? These are the questions being addressed by researchers from the Fraunhofer Cluster of Excellence Circular Plastics Economy CCPE in the Zirk-Tex project.

VIATT 2026 announces inaugural lifestyle Trend Forum: Unified vision for S/S 2027 across fashion, home, and tech
