Berger Textiles will unveil Evo, an extended range of GRS-certified textiles covering all soft signage applications, at Fespa Global Print Expo.
The launch is part of the German specialist textiles supplier’s wider Sustainability Manifesto, with the new range said to deliver on the company’s commitment to a more circular business.
Evo offers a complete set of more sustainable textiles produced using GRS-certified recycled yarn, without compromising on performance, the company said.
The full range comprises Lumina Evolution / Samba Evolution, for applications in backlit frames; Mozaik Evolution, a black-back textile suitable for exhibitions; and Revolution Evolution / Display Evolution, display textiles for front-lit applications.
Also; Matisse Evolution, for artistic print applications; Aero Evolution / Wind Evolution, for high-performance flags; Expandable Evolution, for applications requiring stretch; and Fiber Evolution, a non-woven banner material suitable for promotional outdoor use.
The Global Recycled Standard (GRS) is a globally recognised voluntary product standard for tracking and verifying the content and chain of custody of recycled materials in a final product.
The GRS includes a 50% minimum recycled content percentage and additional social and environmental requirements related to processing and chemical use.
Alessandro Lanfranconi, CEO of Berger Textiles, said: “Sustainability is interwoven through all aspects of Berger Textiles’ operations, and we’re pleased to be at the point of formally sharing our strategy with visitors to Fespa Global Print Expo.
“Achieving a more circular business has long been our ambition and the launch of our extended Evo range delivers on that commitment, without compromising on the award-winning performance of our textiles.”
In addition to its Soft Signage range, Berger Textiles will also showcase its functional architectural Home & Fashion ranges at the show, all presented through its periodic table catalogue, which clusters products according to their intended applications.
Fespa Global Print Expo takes place at the RAI in Amsterdam from 19-22 March, and Berger Textiles is exhibiting at Stand A21 in Hall 10.
