Exhibitor companies had the opportunity to explain their products and services directly to purchasing authorities and to sign important collaborations.
The focus point of the visitors was the show titled “The Adventure of Transformation from Waste to Yarn”, which was set up in the foyer. In the foyer area, all stages of yarns obtained by recycling PET bottles and textile wastes were exhibited. Visitors discovered how recycled yarns that are produced by the industry’s leading companies become products used in daily life.
