Notwithstanding the controversies and the recent 6 months’ ban on its activities, safety platform Nirapon has found support from the American Apparel & Footwear Association (AAFA).
The President and Chief Executive Officer of AAFA Rick Helfenbein has reportedly wrote to Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina recently expressing concerns over reports of calls to suspend Nirapon. “At a point when Bangladesh is poised to take advantage of the opportunities presented by today’s global market and expand, that growth is threatened by efforts to hinder the work of Nirapon and its transparent, independent, brand-backed commitment to worker safety,” Rick Helfenbein maintained in his letter to Hasina, while calling upon the Bangladesh Premier and other key stakeholders to fully support Nirapon.
The court further asked the platform to explain within 2 weeks why it should not be ordered to join the RMG Sustainability Council.

Innovation in Textiles: Hohenstein develops textile finish with sensory cooling effect – textilestechnologies. As part of an IGF research project, scientists at the Hohenstein Institute have been developing and analysing a textile finish that could provide a sensory cooling effect. This being an innovation in textiles, the sensory perception of cold depended not only on the area of skin being treated but also on a range of other parameters, such as the moisture level in the skin and the topography of the skin surface. This textile finish is based on p-menthane derivatives (agonists) such as WS-3 (N-ethyl-p-menthane-3-carboxamide) or L-menthyl lactate and icilin.These substances have the advantage that, when spread in very low concentrations on small areas of the body, they have a lasting mild cooling effect throughout their period of activity.
This kind of sensory cooling textile finish was tested on different textile substrates made from natural or synthetic fibres and blends, and in concentrations of the active ingredient ranging from 0.1‰ – 1%.
