Let’s take a deeper look at some of the themes that will be in focus at Functional Fabric Fair Portland 2025.
Sustainability remains a core focus of Functional Fabric Fair, with brands and suppliers prioritizing environmentally responsible materials and production processes. Attendees can expect to see a strong presence of sustainable materials such as recycled fibers, biodegradable textiles, and carbon-neutral production techniques.
CELLIANT offers a variety of infrared carrier solutions, including CELLIANT with REPREVE®, our recycled infrared fibers available in RPET or Recycled Nylon, and CELLIANT Viscose, our nature-based alternative to petroleum-based fibers.
As consumer demand for transparent supply chains grows, certifications and compliance with regulatory standards — as well as scientific validation — play an essential role in the textile industry. In its focus workshops, Functional Fabric Fair will highlight the latest in OEKO-TEX®, GRS (Global Recycled Standard), and bluesign® certified materials, providing insight into how brands can ensure their products meet the highest industry standards for safety, sustainability and performance.
Performance innovation is at the heart of Functional Fabric Fair, showcasing how brands can leverage technological advancements to enhance outdoor gear, activewear, and performance apparel. From infrared textile technology that supports local circulation, temperature regulation, and energy efficiency to moisture-wicking and compression fabrics, brands can explore new ways to improve functionality.
