23 Jan The Time is Now To Print and Manufacture Sustainably

The latest info for the UK Fashion & Accessory market is that it has a worth of over £54.78bn (Source: Statista) and is set to grow by £10.8bn in 2026. The data is alarming behind the sales: e.g. did you know that a garment that costs £30 to buy in the UK has an average cost of £20 for the garment to be returned for the brand/retailer (Source: NRF, Roland Berger). Of that cost 27% of the return is related to landfill. An estimated £140m clothing is sent to landfill in the UK annually (Source: WRAP) and so the need to educate students and fashion start-ups who want a career in fashion & apparel the power of digital printing and UK manufacturing technology is needed more than ever.

This is why Fashion-Enter Ltd has invested heavily into new technologies with partners such as Kornit. Their printing technologies have the ability to re-print and design on existing garments for upcycling as well as utilising the vast amount of surplus fabrics across the UK. Kornit Digital is the market leader in industrial textile printing with over one thousand Kornit printing systems worldwide. 

In the UK; Kornit customers print on approximately 12 million garments per year of which 97% of these are printed on-demand only after the garment is sold. The digital textile printing industry globally is less than 5% of total printed and with the pressure on climate change; all brands looking for answers to address the issues of waste generated by the current supply chain model.
