Highlights of the VERDOL presentation will be:

Glass Yarns: A global reputation VERDOL responds to customers’ demands by offering a wide range of machines that best fit the customers’ needs. Verdol is continuously researching innovative technology to maximize equipment performance and high quality therefore, increasing productivity and decreasing operating costs.

Industrial Yarns: One step further in innovation Every application has its specific twisting and cabling quality demands. The range of VERDOL twisting, assembling and cabling machines fulfills these challenging targets.

The UT 60, UTC 60 and UTW machines are known worldwide for their performance and energy savings. The Universal Twister UT 60 is well known throughout the industry for its flexibility and production efficiency. By having independent spindle positions, the user can produce different yarns simultaneously. The UTC 60 is the perfect answer for the twisting and direct cabling of all types of industrial yarns. The UTW 40 is dedicated to 3-ply cord cabling in a single step process.

M.U.S.T, (Monitoring Unit System for Textile machinery) the Verdol Plant Management System M.U.S.T. the high-technology application offers a complete and comprehensive plant management system. M.U.S.T. is presently utilized at major carpet, glass, technical and industrial yarn producers. M.U.S.T. provides a real-time overview of process information, production results and quality control data at all levels from the cabler and twister to the weaving looms. Its web-based conception ensures remote access, gateway with main ERP systems, mobile application on PDA, and display on monitor for comprehensive efficiency.

Object Carpet tests production of rPET BCF yarn on Neumag BCF line

In a joint project with Object Carpet GmbH, Denkendorf; the Institute for Textile Technology (ITA), Augsburg; and Next Generation Recyclingmaschinen GmbH (NGR), Feldkirchen, Austria, Barmag investigated the processing of recycled polyester for BCF yarn. The goal was to evaluate the fundamental suitability of 100% recycled carpet material for reuse in carpet yarn production to create a closed-loop system in carpet manufacturing. To date, commercial rPET BCF processes have been based solely on rPET from bottle pellets.

New spinning package with two-step filtration for recycled yarns and more

At the ITM in Istanbul, BB Engineering unveiled its new, patented ValuePack spinning package for the first time, which features a two-stage filtration system. This is particularly beneficial for re-cycling processes. Until now, spinning packs have used either metal powder (“sand”) or filter candles as filter media. Both options are suitable for differ-ent applications, and each has its own specific advantages and dis-advantages.

GenuTrace client advisory: Is your cotton supply chain UFLPA ready?

U.S. Customs and Border Protection has released updated operational guidance (CBP Publication No. 5560-0526) expanding its forced labor enforcement framework. The guidance supersedes the original 2022 UFLPA Operational Guidance and now covers all forced labor enforcement authorities — UFLPA, CAATSA, and WROs/Findings — in a single unified document. For cotton importers, the enforcement posture has not softened. It has become more structured, more documented, and more demanding. Learn more about UFLPA.

ALADIN paves the way for circular and demand-driven textile production in Europe

Textile production can be organized sustainably by utilizing short supply chains and preventing overproduction. This can already be achieved today by intelligently connecting and efficiently utilizing existing infrastructure. At the same time, production becomes circular when innovative technologies and materials are used that enable high-quality recycling. The ALADIN research project, launched in May 2026 and co-funded with five million euros under the EU Horizon Europe program, is creating the conditions for this.

Ence and ShareTex begin initial testing of the ATENEA innovation project to promote textile recycling in Spain

Ence and ShareTex are making progress on the Atenea R&D project, which aims to develop a complete value chain for textile recycling in Spain. Specifically, the goal of the ATENEA project—which is funded by the Center for Technological Development and Innovation (CDTI)—is to connect all the necessary stages for the recovery of textile waste, from collection and management, through recycling and transformation into new raw materials, to their incorporation into new textile products.

DePoly Inaugurates its Showcase Plant in Monthey Switzerland

What if used plastic bottles, PET packaging material and polyester textiles could become raw materials just as high performing as virgin resources? That is the ambition of DePoly, a circular materials company based in Sion, Switzerland which inaugurated its Showcase Plant in Monthey on July 6th & 7th. The first depolymerization facility of its kind and scale in Switzerland, this industrial Showcase Plant represents a major milestone in the company's growth and its journey toward commercialization.
