SQS Debuts at ISPO Munich 2025, Empowering Sustainable Innovation in the Sportswear & Outdoor Industry

On December 3, 2025, the four-day ISPO Munich concluded at the Munich Exhibition Center. As a global benchmark for the sports goods and fashion industry, the event gathered top brands, innovative enterprises and authoritative institutions worldwide, focusing on sustainable development, bio-based materials and circular economy, while showcasing cutting-edge sports sector technologies. SQS, a professional textile laboratory of United Testing Services (Jiangsu) Co., Ltd., was invited. Leveraging its expertise in functional textile testing and sustainable certification, it provided customized solutions to global partners, boosting the sportswear textile industry's high-quality upgrade.

Themed "Circular Economy Empowers the Future", ISPO Munich featured zones like Material Lab, BRANDNEW Innovative Brand Zone and ISPO 520M Urban Outdoor Zone, with sustainability as the highlight. Driven by the EU's ESPR under CEAP, the market demands higher environmental friendliness, traceability and recyclability of textiles, spurring innovations like bio-based materials and monomaterial design. Aligning with these trends, SQS highlighted a full-chain testing system for sportswear textiles, covering bio-based composition verification, recyclability evaluation, functional testing and carbon footprint calculation, attracting wide attention from participants.

With nearly 20 years of textile testing experience, SQS addressed partners' core needs via advanced equipment and a senior team. For trending new textiles (bio-based fibers, recycled PET fabrics, mycelium materials), it launched exclusive protocols to verify bio-based content, biodegradability and safety, supporting R&D and market access. It also offers full-item functional testing (breathability, wind/water resistance, abrasion resistance, antibacterial/thermal properties), helping brands develop high-end products integrating performance and sustainability.

During the exhibition, SQS reached preliminary cooperation intentions with international brands, R&D institutions and associations, exchanging views on sustainable standards and new material testing innovation. Mr Speleers, SQS's Marketing Director noted: "ISPO Munich bridges the global industry, and we recognize the urgent need for sustainable innovation. Committed to empowering compliant development and green upgrading, SQS will deepen new textile testing R&D, improve systems for bio-based and circular textiles, and deliver more accurate, efficient services to achieve environmental and commercial win-wins."

This participation showcased SQS's professional strength and integrated it into the global industry ecosystem. Moving forward, SQS will use the exhibition as a springboard to strengthen international cooperation and innovation, optimize testing solutions, and drive the sportswear textile industry's sustainable development, helping more enterprises expand globally.
