Biotexfuture projects showcased at Techtextil

 

Four partially bio-based polyamides have been successfully realised for the interior sector from the Biobase project. 

Germany’s ITA group of research institutes will unveil breakthroughs in sustainability and recycling at Techtextil 2024 in Frankfurt, running from April 23-26.

In one of their projects, dubbed Biobase, interior textiles crafted from biopolymers have been realized in collaboration with upholstery manufacturer Krall+Roth. This innovative endeavor involved selecting commercially available bio-based polymers, which were then transformed into filament yarns through a process of melt-spinning, air-texturizing, and subsequent fabrication into fabrics. Every step of the way, from processes to machine settings, was meticulously adapted to suit the unique characteristics of the chosen biopolymers. Notably, four partially bio-based polyamides tailored for the interior sector have emerged from this initiative.

Another significant project, Bioturf, aims to engineer an artificial turf structure using bio-polyethylene (PE) that mirrors conventional PE in its essential properties. The ultimate objective is to create a mono-material structure conducive to high-quality material recycling, sans the need for infill granules, thus addressing the issue of microplastics associated with artificial turf pitches.

Meanwhile, the CO2TEX project endeavors to develop elastane-free compression stockings utilizing TPU yarns engineered to provide ample stretch. These TPU yarns, cultivated on industrial melt spinning systems using polymers boasting a renewable content of up to 18% by weight, exhibit elongations

Exporters demand abolition of new tax regime

 Exporters demand abolition of new tax regime KARACHI: While rejecting the federal budget 2024-25, almost all the key chambers and trade associations have asked the government to abolish the Final Tax Regime (FTR) and other anti-exports taxation measures. They believe that these measures will have disastrous consequences, leading to a decline in precious foreign exchange earnings and adversely affecting revenue generation for the national exchequer and urban employment for millions of people. Addressing a press conference at the PHMA House on Tuesday, which was virtually attended by representatives of various associations from other stations across the country, Chief Coordinator and Spokesman of All Exports Associations of Pakistan (AEAP) Muhammad Jawed Bilwani warned the government to observe a black day and suspend exports for one day if the issue isn’t resolved immediately. “The next option is to close the factories,” he warned. Exporters from all over Pakistan have unanimousl...
