Econogy at Texworld

The recently concluded Texworld Apparel Sourcing Paris Spring 2025 (February 10–12, 2025) at Paris Le Bourget placed a strong emphasis on sustainability, aligning with Messe Frankfurt’s global Texpertise Econogy initiative.
The event introduced the Econogy Hub, a central information area for visitors with partners such as the Fédération de la Mode Circulaire, environmental impact calculation provider Bawear, and sustainable natural fiber manufacturer Wellfabric Bao Lan Textiles. It featured several innovative approaches to sustainable fashion. Placing special importance to help visitors finding more sustainable sourcing partners, discovering new resource-conserving materials, and learning about the current state of textile recycling.

Highlights of the accompanying Econogy Tour included denim supplier NZ Denim from Bangladesh, which is reestablishing Ackala Cotton, an old, naturally colored cotton variety, in the fashion market, and Deyao Textile from China, which focuses on a holistically sustainable process chain in the production of their denim products.
Industry experts discussed pragmatic approaches to more sustainability in the fashion and textile industry, how companies can reduce their water consumption and carbon footprint, where the industry stands in terms of recycling, and how to best source sustainably in the Econogy Talks.

With around 1,200 exhibitors from 25 countries, Texworld Apparel Sourcing Spring offered buyers a unique diversity for the Spring and Summer 2026 collection. More than 100 of the exhibitors had also passed the fair’s sustainability check in advance and were listed as such in the accompanying Econogy Finder.

The Texworld Apparel Sourcing Paris Autumn will take place again in Paris Le Bourget from September 15 to 17, 2025
