今回も多くのお客さんに来場いただき、有意義な商談を行う事が出来ましたし、多くの課題もいただきました。FILTECHで得たお客様よりの要望を研究し新商品を開発する。そしてその新商品を次のFILTECHで発表する。これが我々のルーティーンでありライフワークになっています。

“I am thrilled to present my M.Sc. thesis titled “Developing Filters for Laundry Machines to Prevent Microfiber Release” at the Filtech 2024 as a conference delegate in Cologne, Germany. This project, supported through a collaboration between Istanbul Technical University (İTÜ) and Zorluteks Textile, represents a pivotal example of academia-industry synergy, aiming to mitigate microfiber pollution by eliminating synthetic textile fiber-derived waste at its source, which is one of the most significant contributor to microplastic pollution.
It was a fantastic experience and a wonderfully organized event. Thank you to everyone who made this possible!”
