Abstract

An increasing amount of waste is generated each year from textiles (including carpets and clothing) and their production. For economic and environmental reasons it is necessary that as much of this waste as possible is recycled instead of being disposed in landfill sites. On average approximately 10 million tonnes of textile waste is currently dumped in Europe and America each year.Recycling in textiles is the first book of its kind to bring together textile recycling issues, technology, products, processes and applications for all of those in the industry who are now looking for ways to recyc

Abstract

The transfer of heat and moisture through textiles is vital to the manufacture and design of clothing, technical and protective textiles. Continued advances in textile processing technology, the growth of manufactured nonwovens and the application of nanotechnology have resulted in a wealth of research in order to characterise the behaviour of these materials. Thermal and moisture transport in fibrous materials provides a comprehensive guide of the technological developments and scientific understanding in this area.The first section summarises the structure, geometry and stereology of

Abstract

Managing colour from the design stage to the finished product can be a difficult activity as colour perception is subjective and can therefore be inconsistent. Total colour management in textiles covers all aspects of managing colour from the design stage to the final product, ensuring that the designer's vision is fulfilled in the finished colour. There have been many new developments in the area of colour measurement and colour perception which are discussed. These include discussion of the sensory effect of colour for design and use in product development, and digital colour simulation.

Abstract

The Stanze della Moda project has set up an Observatory with the purpose of economic and management monitoring of the fabric of the Florentine companies through a marketing and research workshop. The analysis of several major international retailers demonstrates the emergence of a successful business model which, albeit in some respects idiosyncratic and difficult to transfer, represents an innovative stimulus for companies in the sector that want to redefine their competitiveness in the face of the altered market conditions. The focus on the Florentine companies delineates the ways in which the local manufacturers intercept the purchasing channels of major retail, creating a mediated form of sales on the international markets. Il progetto Stanze della Moda ha istituito un Osservatorio con finalità di monitoraggio economicoe gestionale del tessuto di aziende fi orentine attraverso un laboratorio di marketing e di ricerca. L'analisi di alcuni grandi retailer internazionali dimostra l'emergere di un modello di business vincente che, anche se per alcuni aspetti idiosincratico e diffi cilmente trasferibile, rappresenta lo spunto innovativo per imprese del settore che vogliono ridefinire la propria competitività di fronte alle mutate condizioni del mercato. Il focus sulle imprese fiorentine delinea le modalità attraverso le quali i produttori locali intercettano i canali di acquisto della grande distribuzione realizzando una forma mediata di vendita sui mercati internazionali.
