CANAPA PAPER TECHNOLOGIES Wins 2025 Innovate Textile Sustainability Award For Groundbreaking DTPaper Media
December 2025 – CANAPA PAPER TECHNOLOGIES has been announced as the winner of the distinguished Innovate Textile Awards 2025 – Sustainability Award.
The accolade recognises the company’s DTPaper Transfer Media as a transformative solution for the digital textile printing industry, marking a significant step forward in the elimination of plastic waste within textile production.
The Innovate Textile Awards celebrate excellence and innovation within the sector, with the Sustainability Award highlighting advancements that address critical environmental challenges.
CANAPA PAPER TECHNOLOGIES secured the honour following the development of DTPaper, a product engineered to replace traditional polyethylene terephthalate (PET) transfer films with a fully recyclable, paper-based alternative.

By transitioning from conventional transfer films to DTPaper, manufacturers can achieve a significant reduction in CO₂ emissions and energy consumption.
This innovation supports a truly sustainable production model across the entire textile value chain, aligning with the industry's urgent need to adopt environmentally responsible practices.
CANAPA PAPER TECHNOLOGIES stated, “We are honoured to be the winner of the Innovate Textile Awards 2025 – Sustainability Award. This award highlights the significant reduction in CO₂ emissions and energy consumption achieved by using DTPaper instead of conventional transfer films. We are proud to contribute to the future of textiles, where performance and sustainability move forward together.”
This recognition underscores the company’s commitment to driving a paradigm shift in textile manufacturing.
