Recently, Picanol was honored to have the opportunity to share their insights on the sustainable characteristics of their weaving machines at the Sustainability Talks conference in Istanbul (Türkiye). This event was hosted by Picanol's esteemed customer Kipas Textiles, and Orbit Consulting. The aim behind Sustainability Talks is to offer sustainable solutions for the fashion and textile industry and connect professionals so they can discuss the challenges faced by the textile value chain.

Picanol R&D Manager, Kristof Roelstraete, gave a keynote speech to the more than 1,500 participants in attendance and explained how the weaving machines contribute to creating a more sustainable fashion and textile industry. He also highlighted how Picanol is really committed to its main design principle “Sustainability Inside”, by developing smart and energy-efficient weaving machines, that are capable of weaving with recycled yarns while also minimizing waste. Because every joule of energy, every centimeter of waste, and every cubic meter of compressed air counts!
