Award ceremony
The European Textile & Craft Award of the European Textile Academy sets international standards for innovative textile design developments and competitiveness on the global market. The high-calibre international jury of renowned experts only honours projects and products that are groundbreaking in the textile landscape and highlights positive developments in circular design. The award not only makes the achievement visible, but also opens up a valuable network, international reach and additional market opportunities for the award winners.
Lenzing exceptional partner of the Award 2025
Since the World Meteorological Organisation and UNESCO have proclaimed 2025 as the ‘International Year for the Preservation of Glaciers’, the choice of the fabric emblazoned on this year’s Award has fallen on TNT designed and produced by Lenzing AG for the protection of glaciers as part of the Glacial Threads: From Forests to Future Textiles project, a material that has already won major awards for its sustainability and innovation content. The non-woven fabric developed by the Austrian company is already used as an alternative to the usually used po-liester materials whose wear and tear generates the production of large quantities of microplastics. It is a geotextile made from fibres obtained from controlled forests and environmentally friendly processes, able to biodegrade and return to nature’s cycle after use and recyclable.
