PERFORMANCE DAYS X RADDIS® co-develop tools to enhance the awareness around regenerative agriculture
PERFORMANCE DAYS X RADDIS COTTON co-develop 5 awareness tools to draw attention to the benefits of fibers from regenerative agriculture and to the acceleration of commercial opportunities. These tools can be experienced during the coming fair in Munich.
The sportswear and outdoor industry is renowned for its continuous pursuit of fabric innovations, to enhance consumer performance and comfort and is also at the forefront of sustainable innovation.
