The second season of ITMA Live, a content series created to support the ITMA exhibition was launched recently. Comprising four industry discussions, the new ITMA Live series seeks to offer deeper discussions amongst industrialists on trending topics affecting the global textile and garment industry.

The discussions are based on ITMA 2023’s overarching theme of ‘Transforming the World of Textiles’, and its focused areas: Advanced Materials, Automation and Digital Future, Innovative Technologies, and Sustainability and Circularity.

Each of the ITMA Live panel discussions features three industry members with the session moderated by a key media representative.  In this final episode of ITMAlive Season 2, the spotlight is cast on the topic of sustainability and circularity which impacts the entire textile value chain. Hear from industry experts discussing why the textile industry needs to move towards a circular way of doing business - a crucial and urgent agenda to build a more sustainable future.
