The European Outdoor Group has confirmed that the Outdoor trade show will return: It is heading to Riva del Garda, Italy, on May 17 and 18. The event will be the centrepiece of a new initiative called European Outdoor Week, which will run from 15–20 May.

Alongside the trade show, the programme will include the Outdoor Impact Summit, the EOG Assembly, a refreshed Outdoor Awards ceremony, and a new outdoor festival that will welcome both trade and consumer visitors. The festival will give participants the chance to test products in real conditions with brands and athletes.

EOG director Christian Schneidermeier said: “Ultimately, we want to ensure that there are no excuses for any organisation in the outdoor sector to consider missing out. We recognise these are challenging times, and the best way to tackle the biggest challenges is to get on the front foot with positive, constructive action. This is what we’re doing and I urge colleagues to join us in Riva del Garda in 2026.”

China-based knitter Unitex is working with three suppliers of fibres made from waste textiles. Jiaren Greencircle, based in China, operates a chemical recycling facility that breaks polyester down to its building blocks. FENC, in Taiwan, is another key supplier. Its Topgreen rTex yarns are made from mechanically recycled factory waste. Repreve Tackback yarns are also a part of Unitex’s T2T range. These yarns are recycled from a combination of industrial and consumer waste, through a mechanical process.

Research by Berghaus found that bloating, cramps and fluctuating body shape can make leggings uncomfortable — yet these issues are rarely addressed in performance wear.

The result was ZonalAdapt, a textile-based solution developed with input from women, scientists and anatomists. Features include responsive waistbands, compression zones and lumbar support, using Lycra Adaptiv fibre for stretch and comfort.

An example of how insight-driven design is influencing textile innovation.

The European Parliament has given a “final green light” to new measures to prevent and reduce waste from textiles across the European Union.

On September 9, the parliament formally adopted the new rules. They will now become law. The European Council, which represents the governments of the 27 member states, had previously given its approval.

Under the rules, producers that make textiles available in the EU will have to cover the cost of their collection, sorting and recycling at end of life, through new producer responsibility (EPR) schemes.
