IWTO is proud to partner with PERFORMANCE DAYS, the leading functional fabric fair, taking place 29-30 October in Munich.
For the third time, the Wool Area returns to PERFORMANCE DAYS. The Wool Area, along with a Wool Forum, will focus on wool’s natural versatility, dynamic performance, and ecological benefits. We’ll be there alongside Woolmark and Campaign for Wool. Find us in Hall A1 at WF01!
Where Sustainability Meets Performance
PERFORMANCE DAYS is a trade fair for functional textiles, featuring functional fabrics, membranes, yarns, and accessories for sports, workwear, and athleisure. Professional athletes are increasingly discovering wool’s exceptional benefits in active and sportswear applications.
Wool’s inherent characteristics—natural breathability, temperature regulation, exceptional comfort, and odour-resistance—make it ideally suited for performance applications. These properties align perfectly with the industry’s circularity priorities and consumer expectations for health and well-being in textiles.
Says Dalena White, IWTO Secretary General: “Wool is the original circular fibre. For brands and designers seeking materials that deliver both performance and sustainability, wool offers a proven solution.
“Today’s consumers, particularly in the active and sportswear markets, demand products that align with their environmental values without compromising functionality. Wool naturally delivers on both fronts.”
Unlock the Value of Wool
PERFORMANCE DAYS represents more than a sourcing platform. It’s a hub for innovation, sustainability, and inspiration in functional textiles.
We invite industry professionals to visit the Wool Area and attend the Wool Forum to discover how wool’s durable, renewable, climate-smart, and circular properties make it a sustainable choice for both consumers and the planet. IWTO stands ready to answer your questions!
Be sure and join us for our Wool Panel Discussion, “Unlock the Value of Wool” with guests from Ortovox, Südwolle Group, and Woolmark.
