OUR PLEDGE—SUSTAINABILITY AT EVERY STEP

Sustainability isn't just a theme at Functional Fabric Fair—it's a driving force behind the entire experience. From the moment attendees step onto the show floor, they’ll find a carefully curated selection of exhibitors who are leading the way in eco-conscious innovation, ensuring that every product and solution on display contributes to a more sustainable textile future. The Fair’s commitment extends beyond the exhibits to its dynamic educational programming, including the highly anticipated Day 0 Conference, with a focus on sustainable strategies, material breakthroughs, and circular design.

Even the event infrastructure reflects the fairs dedication to sustainability, with booths constructed from recycled materials and a deliberate choice of venues like the Oregon Convention Center in Portland—energy-efficient systems and LEED® Platinum certification. At every turn, Functional Fabric Fair proves that sustainability and performance can go hand in hand.
