Resource saving: Cost cutting with environmental protection
Volatile prices for energy and commodities, requirements from brands, retailers and end consumers as well as government regulations have made sustainability a major challenge for the textile industry. For these reasons, resource efficiency is one of the premium targets of technical developments. The increased responsibility for work safety and workplace design is also an aspect of sustainability to which textile companies pay more and more attention.
In the run-up to ITMA ASIA 2016, taking place end of October in Shanghai, Nicolai Strauch, Press Officer VDMA Textile Machinery, spoke to VDMA member companies exhibiting at ITMA ASIA about their role in developing and realising sustainable solutions from fibre to the final textile product.
His dialogue partners were: Hermann Selker, Head of Marketing, Trützschler; Dr Martin Folini, CEO of Saurer Group and Schlafhorst Zinser Business Unit; Benjamin Mayer, Managing Director, Mayer & Cie; Hans Gerhard Wroblowski, Area Sales Director South East Asia and Head of Denim Technology, A. Monforts Textilmaschinen; and Karl Hesse, Senior Sales Engineer, Körting Hannover.
Gentlemen, welcome to this discussion on resource efficient textile production that will cover the entire textile chain from spinning to finishing. I would like to start our exchange of views right at the beginning of the chain. Mr Selker, the Trützschler group is a specialist in fibre preparation for the yarn spinning and nonwovens industries. I suppose the costs for the raw material are the largest position in yarn price calculation, right?
Selker: Absolutely! And that’s why fibres should be part of the yarn, not of the waste. Raw material savings are the best opportunity to realise cost savings.
