Planet Textiles 2015, sustainable textile event which tackles the crucial issues on sustainability in the global textile sector supply chain to take place alongside the giant Intertextile Shanghai Apparel Fabrics event. The event is jointly organized by MCL Global, the publisher Ecotextile News and trade fair organizer Messe Frankfurt.
Planet Textiles first debuted in Hong Kong in 2009, with delegates from previous years including executives from Walmart, H&M, Li & Fung, Marks & Spencer, Esprit, Esquel, Crystal Group, Timberlands and Greenpeace.
Speakers slated for next year’s line-up include the sportswear giant Adidas, Bayer Materials and bluesign technologies. Other speakers from leading textile mills, brands, retailers and other organisations will be announced shortly.
The event also features the unique ‘All about Sustainability’ zone, which complements the Planet Textiles Summit and means Shanghai will be a must visit destination in March 2015 for retailers and brands looking to source sustainable textiles.
This time, Planet Textiles will integrate into the same exhibition venue as Intertextile Shanghai Apparel Fabrics, an exhibition that has previously attracted over 69,000 visitors and 3,700 exhibitors.
Planet Textiles 2015 will take place in English with simultaneous translations into Chinese. The event will take place at the National Convention and Exhibition Center in Shanghai on 19 March 2015.
