New technical textiles publication launched Written by Tommy Lee

WAKEFIELD – MCL Global, the leading B2B publisher of magazines, websites and textile industry reports has today launched a new publication for the global technical textiles market. Textile Evolution (T.EVO) is an innovative, groundbreaking publication, which will provide a unique take on the rapidly evolving technical textiles and high performance apparel sectors. It is already set to become the new industry voice of textile innovation.

The printed bi-monthly T.EVO magazine to accompany this new website will be launched in May at the Techtextil event in Atlanta, USA, and once again cements the reputation of MCL Global as the fastest growing B2B publisher in the textile industry with a proven track record of bringing new high quality textile publications to market.

MCL already publishes Ecotextile News, Knitting Trade Journal, Sustainable Nonwovens, EcoComposites, The Green Guide to ITMA, Textile Standards & Legislation as well as being the brand owner of Planet Textiles – the leading event on textiles and sustainability.



“While many other publishers are scaling back, closing down, cutting frequencies or merging their portfolios, MCL is the only the textile publisher that has consistently launched new printed and online titles for the industry over the last few years,” said John Mowbray, Editorial Director at MCL.

“With T.EVO, we have now brought to market a new, high quality technical publication, which was actually requested by our existing readership of apparel retailers, textile mills and in particular by outdoor and sportswear brands.”

Having already published four printed T.EVOsupplements as part of a piloted pre-launch, the reaction to our test marketing has been overwhelmingly positive. “T.EVO is brilliant. It made me realise that the market was lacking quality,” according to Charles Ross, Performance Sportswear Design, UK. "It’s great to hear about niche, valid publications being created rather than hearing about publications disappearing,” added one leading global PR company.

The global technical textiles market has developed at considerable pace in recent years, with significant, ongoing progress in areas such as functional fabrics, wearable technologies and the use of nanotechnology to produce new textile products with unique properties.

Given our readership is actively requesting this type of information from MCL, we realised that by using our experience, vast network of contacts, and unique insight into this market, we believe the launch of T.EVO plugs a significant gap in the market and provides the technical textiles and functional apparel sectors with a much-needed reliable new source of unique information.

T.EVO will be read by fabric designers, fabric engineers, textile manufacturers and retailers and brands, as well as government purchasers and industry suppliers. It looks at key innovations in the technical apparel and fabric sectors across the entire technical textile supply chain.

Coverage includes:

• Functional fabrics • Raw materials • Textile dyeing and finishing • Textile printing • Fibres and yarns • Technical apparel • Wearable technologies • Textile machinery • Nanotechnology • Industrial fabrics

T.EVO will be published six times a year in printed format, as well as digitised online. All our premium content – including daily news – is archived on the web.



Sustainability rises up agenda in denim sector

WAKEFIELD - A special report by Ecotextile News suggests sustainability has become the key driver in the fast-growing global denim industry, with brands going to increasing lengths to cut water and chemical use in their supply chains as well as making increased commitments to using sustainable cotton and recycled textiles.

For the forthcoming edition of Ecotextile News, we interviewed organisations all the way along the denim supply chain to find out how demands from brands for denim products with a better environmental profile are translating into meaningful actions at the world's leading denim mills.

We also caught up with Kingpins Founder Andrew Olah who talked to us about how sustainability gained huge traction in the denim industry since Kingpins began in 2004. He told us: "Sustainability has risen up the agenda because jeans require so much water in denim production and in jeans processing, yet the majority of jeans in the world are produced in places that have tiny amounts of fresh water. While Canada has (according to the World Bank) 80,000 cubic litres of water per person, Bangladesh, Turkey, India, Pakistan and China have less than 500 or 600. American jeans are mostly made in Los Angeles where there is insufficient water, which everybody knows but rarely talks about.

"On the fibre side of our industry certain brands to their credit have now committed to use sustainable cotton like Better Cotton, or e3 cotton, Tencel and recycled fibers. This kind of commitment did not exist ten years ago."



Pınar Demirel of Turkish denim mill, Calik Denim, told us: "As the consumer gets more knowledgeable and becomes selective among the huge variety of options, they become aware of the environmental factors and demand eco-sensitive products. That encourages us to build our product development strategy to lead the way of developing new generation products.

"Calik Denim is one of the first denim fabric suppliers in the industry that has invested heavily in research & development with a team of more than 50 creative heads and engineers.

"We allocate two per cent of our turnover to research and development. We aim to make denim more environmentally viable. Thanks to the 'Eco-save' production method developed by [our] R&D Center, Calik Denim production facilities consume 65 per cent less water and have cut waste volume by 70 per cent. We recycle most of our waste from production processes."



Target CEO Talks Transformation and Outlook for 2016 by Tara Donaldson

Posted on March 3, 2016 in Retail

Target has been dedicated to transforming its business, revamping its supply chain and

positioning the company for growth—and so far so good.

On Monday the Minneapolis-based retailer said it hired former Amazon executive Arthur

Valdez to lead the company’s supply chain transformation—planning, distribution,

transportation and all. And last week Target said fourth quarter earnings were up 1.9% thanks

to traffic growth of 1.3%, and that digital sales soared 34 percent. For the full 2015,

comparable sales were up 2.1%.

Speaking at the company’s annual investment community meeting Wednesday, Target CEO

Brian Cornell said the focus for the year ahead will be staying guest-centric and including more

personalized offers and hassle-free experiences.

“I’m really proud of the great work by our team in 2015 to drive significant progress on the

strategic priorities we laid out a year ago,” Cornell said in an interview on Target’s website.

“Guests are telling us with their feet and their clicks that we’re focusing on the right things.

Traffic has been up for five straight quarters.”

Target wants shopping to be simple for its guests, and according to Cornell, the first step in

providing that is by “getting the fundamentals right” in the supply chain, in stores and with

technology.

Among those fundamentals is understanding what really causes persistent out-of-stocks. To

find out, Target had a dedicated team dig into the problem and uncover and implement what

the company called “simple, sustainable changes.” Those changes helped the company end

2015 with out-of-stocks 40 percent lower than the year before, Cornell said.

But innovation won’t be relegated to the back burner just because the company is focused on

fundamentals.

“Meeting our guests’ needs means building a strong foundation while also thinking about the

possibilities for the future,” Cornell said. “Exploring opportunities to learn and innovate beyond

our core businesses and fueling a culture of curiosity are critically important to our future.”

This year, Target will continue to invest in its signature Style, Baby, Kids and Wellness

categories, improving in areas like fit, quality and natural and organic food offerings. The Kids

department will get two new brands thanks to input from parents about how they shop for their

kids, and Baby departments in select stores will see a new connected nursery area to make

navigating the section simpler for new parents.

“Our focus in 2016 and beyond is on providing a seamless, reliable and enjoyable guest

experience each and every time,” Cornell said. “We know we have a lot of work ahead, but our

teams are up to the challenge. Target’s leaders are engaged, the team is energized and our

guest—as always—is at the center of everything we do.”
