Fashion And Technology Trends In 2024Every year comes with novelties that modify how we do, see, and think, making society change by adapting to different landscapes conditioned, above all, by constantly evolving technological discoveries. Fashion and textile industries are not lagging behind and every year are evolving towards a future motivated by the search for a more sustainable world. Explore Recovo’s solutions for circular solutions based on technology and connexions.Fashion industry challenges and opportunities for 2024The fashion industry will experience different challenges and opportunities that the fashion industry will face throughout the year. Brands must be aware of all of them to grow and adapt to a totally new scenario that technology is preparing for the years to come. According to the McKinsey & Company Report “The State of Fashion 2024: Finding pockets of growth as uncertainty reigns”, 2024 is going to be characterized by:- Global economy: Due to geopolitical challenges, the different suppliers, brands, and retailers related to the fashion industry may need to strengthen their contingency plans and manage uncertainty.- Consumer habits: The COVID-19 pandemic empowered people to travel and spend more time outdoors, and fashion trends reflect this through the newest lifestyle collections.- Technology: Talking about technology, the most iconic moments of 2023 were related to generative artificial intelligence. In fashion, IA will challenge human creativity and also create new custom options that brands can offer to their customers.- Climate change: Sustainability is trendy. As 2023 has been one of the warmest years that humanity has ever registered, sustainability has become one of the priorities for most of us, and governmental regulations are getting tough on it through international compromises, such as the United Nations Conference of the Parties or COP27 that took place in Egypt last year.[banner-standard-module title="The Ultimate Guide for Fashion Regulation" buttonTitle="Learn More" description="Discover the current landscape of the European Fashion Regulation related to Circularity and Sustainability." lang="es" backgroundImage="https://store.recovo.co/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/Portadas-Blog-3.jpg" buttonUrl="https://store.recovo.co/assets/the-ultimate-guide-for-fashion-regulation/"]Fashion technology in 2024Technology advances are one of the most important “game-changers” in several aspects of society. In previous years, it is common to see companies that grew due to a better and faster adaptation to different technological innovations that give important advantages to their competence. We have seen how the world has experienced changes that completely redefine the way we live and interact with others, whether people or brandsFashion is also dependent on technology for its development. Every year, new discoveries change something about the fashion industry at some point in its chain: sometimes these technologies influence how apparel is made, and others change society’s consumption habits. It seems like 2024 is going to be a remarkable year for fashion technological innovations and all the industries that surround it.Technological trends for fashion in 2024- Hyper-personalization: Personalization has been one of the most important points that brands have been working on during the last few years. Due to generative Artificial Intelligence, personalization possibilities expand in a way that we have never thought before. Also, 3D printers will encourage brands to offer new ways of personalization and process optimization.- Immersive shopping experiences: Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality are the technological heritage from 2022, the year where the metaverse looks like the most important innovation since social networks or smartphones. Currently, fashion brands are landing into the metaverse, and news such as Mango joining Roblox, opening a digital store on the platform will become more common.- Wearable technology: IoI or the Internet of Things has arrived in the fashion world. Smart fabrics communicate with different gadgets or sensors that track our health data or can even change their color of our them. This trend began years ago with performance apparel for sports professionals, but a healthy lifestyle has popularized this type of body-control gadgets.- Blockchain: Leaving behind bitcoin and NFTs fever from previous years, blockchain’s characteristics will conquer the fashion industry to guarantee the brand’s apparel authenticity and traceability from imitations and other fraudulent practices that harm this industry, especially luxury and premium brands. You can learn more about blockchain for the fashion industry and circular economy in Recovo’s asset collection.- Sustainability: Sustainability’s best partner is technology. The textile industry has been working on several studies whose objectives are looking for new sustainable fabrics, materials, and other changes relative to the supply chain’s sustainability. Empowered by societal demand and governmental legislation for a more sustainable future, textile companies must adapt their activities to circular business models, using bio-based or recycled fabrics to create their collections. These sustainable materials are constantly evolving and normally come from organic fibers, deadstock fabrics, or other recycled materials. Recovo helps fashion companies adapt their business models by selling their deadstock fabrics or developing SaaS to manage stocks.ConclusionsTechnology is here to reimagine everything. Those capable of adapting faster to these new advances will take advantage of their competitors and will give extra value to their stakeholders.The fashion industry is constantly changing because of this technological background that involves every single part of our society. Suppliers, retailers, and producers must work together to be updated and accomplish every single demand that consumers are asking for. Technology appears then giving multiple tools that offer fashion industry solutions and new possibilities that modify its landscape.In 2024, fashion technology innovation will be led by the landing and popularization of AI and bio-based fabrics that will face some of the most important brand’s collections and fashion shows worldwide. The fashion industry must turn to new circular business models, involving solutions such as Recovo’s deadstock fabrics marketplace.

Why Are Fashion Brands Creating Digital Passports For Their Garments?By 2050, the European Union plans to achieve zero greenhouse gas emissions, that is, to be climate neutral. To this end, the EC has launched a new package of regulations as part of the European Green Pact, a proposal that aims to make almost all physical goods circular and energy efficient by 2030.The aim of this regulation is therefore to contribute to the fight against climate change through the implementation of a circular economy, to decouple the existing relationship between economic growth and waste production. Within its Strategy for Circular and Sustainable Textiles, it also emphasizes the importance of regulating the textile industry, which it has ranked as the fourth industry with the greatest environmental impact, and aims to ensure that textile products marketed in European markets are durable, recyclable, free of hazardous substances and produced in a sustainable manner. The measures of this strategy include, among others, the implementation of a digital product passport to all physical goods from 2023. In this post, we explain everything you need to know about these passports.What are digital passports? Digital passports, which are planned to be introduced next year, will be a collection of information about the manufacturing process of each product so that users along the supply chain can reuse or recycle them properly, and will be useful to know if any material prevents recycling or is very polluting. In the fashion world, if a garment has a digital passport, it will have a QR code or an NFC, RFID or Bluetooth tag containing detailed information about the product. The inclusion of these passports on clothing and other items will bring more transparency to the fashion industry by including information about the raw material composition of the garment, the manufacturing process and even the method of transportation.In the fashion world, the clothing labels would come with a QR code or others with detailed product information.Who are digital passports intended for?Although the EU wants to make the digital passport a standard for all products marketed in Europe, for now, the priority is focused on the textile, construction and automotive sectors.What information will the digital passports have to contain?Consumers will have clear, reliable and easily accessible information about the products they consume, how to maintain them and how best to recycle them. However, a great deal of work is needed to be able to identify exactly what information users need along the supply chain. As a result, the European Commission will review the scheme on a product-by-product basis, the process will be governed in separate acts and will require the entire supply chain to sit down and discuss the key information that should be included in the passport.Complications of digital passport implementation and intellectual property However, manufacturers and all professionals involved will face major challenges in creating, sharing and distributing the required data in a simple and cost-effective manner. The European legislative initiative is necessary and meets the criteria of sustainability and digital transformation, but it will really be a big challenge for companies.In addition, concerns center on intellectual property and privacy. The concept of exposing all product information sounds contradictory to intellectual property protection, but this is where the issue of encryption comes in to protect this information. And yet, there will be cases where companies do not want to share certain data, even if it is encrypted, because it is linked to confidential information, so being transparent in justifying green claims can be tricky.In these cases, ZKPs, or zero-knowledge protocols, can provide a way to achieve this data transmission by allowing sustainability information to be shared without revealing confidential product data. This will allow manufacturers to selectively share information throughout the supply chain without the need to store data or compromise data security.Zero-knowledge protocols can provide a way to achieve data transmission by enabling the sharing of sustainability information without revealing confidential product data..[banner-standard-module title="The Ultimate Guide for Fashion Regulation" buttonTitle="Learn More" description="Discover the current landscape of the European Fashion Regulation related to Circularity and Sustainability." lang="es" backgroundImage="https://store.recovo.co/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/Portadas-Blog-3.jpg" buttonUrl="https://store.recovo.co/assets/the-ultimate-guide-for-fashion-regulation/"]Digital passports, a way to address greenwashing and textile wasteThe information in the digital passports will be crucial to address greenwashing, as they will force companies to disclose whether their products are truly safe, easy to maintain and recyclable, as well as whether their activities are truly aligned with environmental protection.In addition, this passport can help eliminate textile waste, as large companies that handle surplus product will be obliged to disclose the quantities discarded per year, the reason for discarding, and the amount of waste they have handed over for reuse, use, recycling, recycling, energy recovery and disposal activities in accordance with the waste hierarchy. In addition, they will need to ensure that this information is available, either on a public website or other means.In conclusion, digital passports are a good measure to reduce the environmental impact of new product production, in addition to increasing recycling and circularity of fabrics.If you want to launch your next collection in a circular way and in accordance with European sustainability regulations, you can find in our catalog fabrics that contribute to reducing textile waste and the environmental impact of fashion. You can also try to sell your leftover fabrics, someone might be looking for them!Find circular fabrics that comply with digital passport regulations and help fight textile waste in our category for Recycled and Recyclable fabrics.

What Are Next-Gen Fabrics And How To Implement Them In Your CollectionImage credits: 2020-21 look by Mariam Al Sibai made from Piñatex.What are next-gen fabrics?Next-generation fabrics or “next-gen” materials are non-plastic, non-synthetic and vegan fabrics that serve as ethical and sustainable alternatives to conventional fabrics for use in fashion, home products and more.Why do we need next-gen fabrics?Next-gen fabrics serve primarily as replacements for animal-based materials such as leather, fur, wool and down. The current generation of alternatives – petroleum-derived synthetics – also have serious environmental and social problems, so innovation in these types of materials, which are more environmentally conscious and of higher quality, is growing.You can find next-gen fabrics in our category of Materials of the Future.What are next-gen materials made of?As more companies get involved in materials innovation, the technologies behind next-generation fabrics are diversifying. Some 21.6% of companies specializing in next-gen materials develop these materials from microbes, while 8.2% use Mycelium, a fungus for the manufacture of vegan leather that is ideal when it comes to better replicating the performance and aesthetics of animal-derived leather.Innovation in next-generation fabrics has also led to the creation of new fabrics, such as those made from pineapple. Piñatex, a pineapple leather, is one of the main alternatives to leather and, in addition to being animal-friendly, does not require the petrochemicals often used in fake leather.Other examples of non-conventional materials are algae bioplastic (a combination of seaweed powder with fats from other species of algae), soy cashmere (made from soy protein from the surplus of tofu production), and rose petal silks (fabrics made from fallen rose petals, converted into thread and dyed with natural pigments), among others.[banner-standard-module title="The Ultimate Guide for Fashion Regulation" buttonTitle="Learn More" description="Discover the current landscape of the European Fashion Regulation related to Circularity and Sustainability." lang="es" backgroundImage="https://store.recovo.co/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/Portadas-Blog-3.jpg" buttonUrl="https://store.recovo.co/assets/the-ultimate-guide-for-fashion-regulation/"]Next-generation fabrics, a market that is constantly innovating and growingBrands are mostly opting for next-generation materials in the expectation of increasing their revenues in tandem with their sustainability and anti-animal cruelty policies.According to a study by Material Innovation Initiative, out of 95 companies engaged in the manufacture of next-gen materials, 55 were created after 2014, and 10 have been established since the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic, demonstrating the high growth of the sector.The study itself estimates that $2.3 billion has been invested in next-gen fabrics since 2015, with the amount of investment in 2021 being more than double that in 2020. Even at the height of the pandemic, the capital invested in 2021 alone is almost equivalent to that of the previous 4 years combined. It is also estimated that the size of the global wholesale market for next-gen materials will be approx. $2.2 billion in 2026, representing a 3% share of a $70+ billion market.The only downside to materials innovation? Lack of supply. Unfortunately, there are more interested investors than investment opportunities, so more initiatives are needed for the creation of next-gen fabrics.In conclusion, next-generation material innovation enables the use of more ethical and sustainable alternatives to conventional fabrics. Fortunately, there is more and more investment in these materials, however, the supply still lags far behind, so it is very important that more companies join the growth of this sector.If you are looking for innovative fabrics for your next collection and you are thinking of doing it in a circular and sustainable way, you can find in our catalog fabrics that contribute to reduce textile waste and the environmental impact of fashion. You can also try to sell your leftover fabrics, maybe someone is looking for them!You can find next-gen fabrics in our category of Materials of the Future.

How To Apply Eco-Design Techniques To Your CollectionsTo create a sustainable collection, it is very important to take eco-design into account. Ecodesign allows you to plan a series of strategies, from product conceptualization to end-of-life, to create environmentally conscious pieces. In this article we explain everything you need to know about ecodesign and what techniques you can use to achieve your sustainability goals.What is ecodesign?Ecodesign is a set of strategies whose main objective is to help prevent, reduce and/or minimize the environmental impact of a product. These strategies focus on different levels within the development cycle of a product, which are conceptualization, manufacturing, use and end-of-life.Why is eco-design important?Ecodesign has many advantages. The most important, perhaps, is that it allows you to reduce the ecological footprint of your production. But beyond the environmental benefits, ecodesign will help you comply with current and future legislation, respond to the growing demand for sustainable products, and at the same time make your brand more innovative, more competitive and better perceived.Eco-design techniques1. Planning is vital; optimize the supply chain in advance.The product ideation stage is very important. Here, you will have to reflect on the amount of resources consumed by the production system and the characteristics of the garments in question. You will have to decide on the key actions that will allow you to dematerialize (reduce the amount of materials needed to produce your collection and thus reduce the consumption of natural resources), the composition and durability of the garments (using quality materials that do not deteriorate will prolong the life of the product and reduce the need for overproduction).2. Use reduced impact materialsEnsure that the composition of your garments is optimal. Reuse and recycle materials as much as possible, and in the event that a new production is necessary, opt for non-synthetic fabrics, free of hazardous substances (think carefully about the type of dyes you will use) and avoid producing different materials. Above all, when it comes to manufacturing, the best option lies in the materials of the future, which are innovative and manufactured differently from the traditional way to reduce the carbon footprint of the products and the ecological footprint of the end consumer.3. Optimize the production chainAlready in the manufacturing phase of the product life cycle, think about how to reduce the impact of its associated processes. Reduce the number of production steps, use cleaner production techniques, minimize water and energy consumption and/or use renewable energies, and reduce the amount of waste or encourage internal waste recycling.4. Optimize distributionOnce you have your collection done, it’s time to think about the impact of packaging and transportation. Minimize the amount of packaging in mass or volume, use reusable or lower impact packaging, optimize the volume of production to reduce the number of transports and opt for efficient, low-impact vehicles/fuels.5. Reduce impact in useIn the product use phase, aim to reduce the impact produced by the use or maintenance of the product. This consists of minimizing the need for maintenance: reducing the resources and number of operations needed to maintain the product, that it can be maintained with low impact products, and that it requires the minimum of energy/water consumption in use.6. Optimize the lifetime of your collectionIncrease the useful life of your garments to reduce overproduction of materials. We have talked about producing with quality materials, but it is also important to consider repairability and availability of spare parts. Reduce waste, minimize expenses and speed up the fashion production process, accesing real-time data on your internal stock with the Upcycling Saas by Recovo.7. End-of-life optimizationInevitably, there will come a point in time when a garment will cease to have value or be used. This is where strategies to reduce the impact of product waste management come in. The most important, undoubtedly, is to follow a circular economy model so that the closing of one garment cycle is the beginning of the cycle for another. Therefore, it is necessary to plan how, once the useful life of a material is over, it can be reused or recycled to create another product without wasting resources. It is also necessary to think about the ease of disassembly and separation of materials to facilitate correct final management and increase their recyclability. If your company has surplus materials like textiles, yarns or trimmings, clear some space and earn money by selling it to other brands with Recovo.[banner-standard-module title="The Ultimate Guide for Fashion Regulation" buttonTitle="Learn More" description="Discover the current landscape of the European Fashion Regulation related to Circularity and Sustainability." lang="es" backgroundImage="https://store.recovo.co/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/Portadas-Blog-3.jpg" buttonUrl="https://store.recovo.co/assets/the-ultimate-guide-for-fashion-regulation/"]Reuse, the key strategy in ecodesignWe have seen that, before starting to produce, you should think about reuse as one of the best tools of ecodesign when selecting materials and extending their useful life. From Recovo we help you to make your collection reusing excess fabrics from big and small brands so you can make sustainable garments with low environmental impact. In our catalog you can find all kinds of fabrics and even materials of the future so you can contribute to a circular fashion model.
