At the concurrent Techtextil and Texprocess fairs held in Germany, European textile trade body, Euratex laid special focus on its Energy Made-to-Measure (EM2M) campaign.
Launched in 2014 by Euratex in collaboration with dozens of organisations across Europe, EM2M promotes key results of successful initiatives for energy efficiency in the sector.
“This aims at supporting the textile and clothing companies, especially SMEs, which are not fully aware of their actual energy consumption and of the saving potential,” Euratex said in a press release.
The campaign provides companies with tools, best practices and training to take informed decision to launch energy efficiency actions.
Three international projects co-funded by the European Union, ARTISAN, SESEC and SET defined the starting point of the campaign.
In 2014, over 500 professionals participated in 21 campaign’s public events held in Italy, Portugal, Belgium, Germany, Croatia, Romania, Bulgaria and Lithuania.
In 2015, the EM2M campaign has collaborated with the initiatives of two national associations of textile machinery manufacturers, VDMA in Germany and ACIMIT in Italy.
“VDMA’s Blue Competence initiative supports sustainable textile production realised by more sparing use of resources and more efficient manufacturing processes,” Euratex added.
As a part of common communication efforts, EM2M was presented at the annual VDMA’s international press conference held at Techtextil in Frankfurt.
“The conference speakers introduced concrete examples and best practices among the companies’ sustainable actions,” the European trade body informed.
Euratex representative Mauro Scalia stressed on the campaign’s ambitious plan to empower 300 textile and clothing companies to become more energy efficient by September 2016.
MD of VDMA Textile Machinery Association Thomas Waldmann stated, “Today’s presentations are just a few examples showing that sustainability is an integral part in the business of our member companies.” (AR)
