TEXINTEL TALKS - EPISODE 071 - GRAINNE BRENNAN OF PREMIER DIGITAL TEXTILES ON MARKET TRENDS

PODCAST
Written By Debbie Mckeegan

In today’s podcast we talk with Grainne Brennan of Premier Digital Textiles.

The last 2 years have challenged the Textiles supply chain, and in this episode, we explore why? What’s driving change, where are the challenges, have we overcome them?

In conversation we also share market insights and new behaviours, the sustainable agenda and we also dive deep into new innovations, fibres and fabrics that offer textiles a circular future.
