Taiwan Showcases Latest Innovative Smart & Functional Textiles at Functional Fabric Fair Portland


The Taiwan External Trade Development Council (TAITRA) will be showcasing the country's leading sustainable textiles and performance fabrics during the Taiwan Smart & Functional Textiles Press Conference at the Functional Fabric Fair in Portland. On Tuesday, October 22nd from 2-3 pm, attendees will have the opportunity to take part in the discussion by industry leaders on the latest trends in eco-textiles, how choosing the right fabric can reduce a company's carbon footprint and more in the Oregon Convention Center conference room C123.

"Taiwan leading textile manufacturers supply the world's best sports and outdoor brands with high-quality fabrics for their performance apparel," said Ruth Chang, Director of Taiwan Trade Center, Vancouver. "As the world's largest producer of functional fabric, the country's textile industry is home to cutting-edge techniques, new technologies and the development of groundbreaking industry standards."

Taiwan's textile industry is a major provider of functional fabrics for well-known international outdoor and sportswear brands and is widely recognized across the globe. Today, Taiwan accounts for 70% of the world's output of functional fabrics. The Taiwan Smart & Functional Textiles Press Conference will feature presentations from the most influential companies within Taiwan's textile industry, including:

Today, nearly 50% of all fabric is made from recycled materials and Taiwan is leading this big change throughout the global textile industry. Recycled yarns?used for apparel, industrial and sport accessories?are growing in importance and are a core part of the Taiwan textile industry in order to reduce negative impact to the environment. As a leader in recycled polymer and polymer blends, the country is constantly introducing new sustainable textile developments, which combine high-tech, ecology, function and life aesthetics, such as the latest recycled Nylon from ocean waste and water-free dyeing setting new definitions to modern textiles.

With the strong development and integration abilities for functional artificial fibers, as well as the ability to provide a wide variety of customized fabrics in small quantities, Taiwan continues to develop competitive advantages in functional, environmental-friendly and smart fabric. Our textile industry also features low pollution and low energy consumption with production process, innovative technologies in its semiconductor and biomedical industries, electronic components, and cross industrial integration.
