enowned fashion designer Richard Quinn’s Autumn/ Winter 2023 collection exemplified Epson’s dye sublimation’s capabilities on the runway at London Fashion Week 2023 in February.
Guests were dazzled for the second consecutive year by a

Providing the first layer of the runway’s decorative theme onto an otherwise plain surface was a black and white diamond floor, made of polyester floor graphics, printed onto using water-based resin inks. The scruff and tear-resistant, PVC-free polyester floor graphics, were provided by Drytac and contain 40% recycled-material. They were printed using an Epson SureColor SC-R5000 resin printer and were installed by Max Media Prints. The Epson resin printer uses water-based inks that not only offer a durable solution for the catwalk but render the substrate recyclable and free from any environmentally harmful substance.
very Dennison has invested in Circ, a US-based chemical recycler focused on harvesting new yarns from mixed textile waste. Avery Dennison’s investment will help accelerate the commercialisation of Circ’s industrial-scale polycotton recycling pilot plants. Once up and running, the sites will allow apparel brands and Avery Dennison to recycle mixed textile waste streams, such as polyester-cotton blends, into high-quality cellulose-based or PET-based yarns for use in apparel production. Michael Colarossi, vice president, innovation, product line management and sustainability, Avery Dennison said: “The time for circular strategies and their enabling technologies is now. Using intelligent labelling in garments, we are working with Circ and other supply chain partners to drive a paradigm shift in the textile and fashion industries. Together we provide a solution for the take-back and sorting of waste at scale.
“Cutting-edge solutions like this are so valuable and are advancing rapidly alongside critical market trends and demands. We are excited to support Circ in its next steps, driving the creation of a collaborative, circular economy for textiles.”
Peter Majeranowski, chief executive
offi cer at Circ, added: “Transforming the fashion economy requires leadership from infl uential players in the textile industry, the fi nancial community, as well as technology innovators. “The Circ team, which includes not only our employees but also our investors and partners, encompasses a diverse group of retail, manufacturing and engineering leaders across the US, Europe and Asia. We share a common view that a clean future for the fashion industry is not only possible but also essential for humanity. With each funding round and expansion in our partner base, we become more capable of ending the costly and preventable cycle of garment waste. I couldn’t be more excited.”
