50 eco brands, interviews with game changers, insights into fashion & climate, fashion revolution, sustainable “trends” from rose viscose to circularity, seals and certifications – the GMUC book # 4 comprises 136 pages of sustainable fashion. We wanted to give the visitors to GREENSTYLE entertaining fair fashion knowledge along the way. The 4th edition did not take place and now the GMUC book is waiting on a pallet in the GMUC headquarters until (hopefully soon!) We can bring it to the reopened fair fashion stores (list follows!). Who is curious now? Feel free to leaf through (full screen version possible) or download the pdf (and pass it on!).

MCBW
Munich and Bavaria as creative locations stand for excellent entrepreneurial connection between design and economy. MUNICH CREATIVE BUSINESS WEEK (MCBW), organized annually by bayern design in the first quarter, is the largest German design event and shows the region’s potential. For the first time we were partners of this series of events and were able to present the GREENSTYLE at the press preview in the HFF and in the context of an exhibition organized by us at the MCBW reception in the BMW Welt. Funded by: Bavarian State Ministry for Economic Affairs, State Development and Energy. All program items can be found here
NEONYT / Messe Frankfurt
With future-oriented topics (FashionSustain) and a unique mixture of newcomers and leading brands, NEONYT, as the world’s leading B2B trade fair for sustainable fashion, paints a new picture of fashion, sustainability and innovation. In doing so, they have not only set impulses for the industry. Unfortunately, missed: NEONYT Show Director Thimo Schwenzfeier would have given a keynote on the status quo of sustainable fashion and talked to the panel about the role of eco brands on the market. We keep our fingers crossed that the NEONYT (June 30th to July 2nd) can take place.

Today Vöslauer is CO2 neutral in the entire PET range and as a whole company. Vöslauer has been a member of the WWF Climate Group since January 2020 and supports the klimaaktiv pakt2020.
