VDMA (Verband Deutscher Maschinen- und Anlagenbau) Textile Machinery Association has published a position paper welcoming the EU ambitions to promote climate protection, in particular the approach of combining the goals for the EU textile and clothing industry into a sector-specific strategy. Mechanical engineering prepares the technical prerequisites for efficient further use and reuse of textile raw materials, be it natural or man-made fibres, according to the report.
 
Up to now, the increasing textile consumption around the world, due to growing population and purchasing power has been accompanied by a rising use of resources. 
 
“The textile machinery companies organised in the VDMA are geared towards a functioning circular economy. With our highly efficient technologies we are an indispensable partner in this transition process,” Regina Brückner, chairwoman of the VDMA Textile Machinery Association and managing associate of Brückner Trockentechnik, said in a press release.
 
The executive board of the VDMA Textile Machinery Association emphasises that the new framework must be practicable. 
 
“The EU must strike the right balance between necessary, yet also minimal, legislative regulation. A successful transition requires a level playing field which sets out fair rules for sustainability, thereby enabling European companies to nonetheless increase their international competitiveness,” Brückner concluded.
