Replin by Hainsworth has unveiled its latest transport fabric collection for the aviation industry. Designed and woven at the company’s heritage woollen mill in the UK, the collection includes seven new fabric themes tailored for vertical and seating surfaces within aircraft cabins. The new range was developed to meet evolving aesthetic, technical and environmental requirements for transport fabrics, and includes structured weaves and textural surfaces across the collection’s seven themes, focusing on comfort, quality, weight optimisation, and design versatility. Several of the fabrics have been woven entirely using undyed fibres, leading the way in sustainable material development for vertical and seating applications. The fabrics feature boucle and melange yarns, with some fabrics 100% undyed. The manufacturer developed the fabrics using an integrated design process. This enables the design team to produce bespoke visuals for client briefs, supporting both design houses and airline teams that seek innovative textile solutions and specific branding and weight requirements. The company recently invested in new software which includes advanced 3D visualisation technology that enables the creation of realistic fabric simulations. The sustainable transport collection was created in response to growing industry demand for natural colours and textures, as well as reduced environmental impact, blending deep textile heritage with modern design and textile manufacturing innovation. Merino, alpaca and shetland wool have been used throughout the collection, and each fabric meets strict international airline performance and safety standards. Susan Billett, Design and Product Development Manager at AW Hainsworth and Replin by Hainsworth, explains, “I took inspiration from the environment and the habitats of alpaca and sheep for this collection, exploring the colours and textures in the natural landscape that surrounds them. I wanted to make sure each fabric was aesthetically appealing and soft to touch, so I worked closely with finishing to make sure the final product was comforting and homely, while being abrasion-resistant and durable for high-traffic seating areas and vertical surfaces.” The brand, established in 1945, supplies transport fabrics for global airline and rail companies and counts British Airways, Lufthansa, American Airlines, Qatar Airways, and Virgin Atlantic among its customers. Replin by Hainsworth’s transport fabrics division has also recently joined the Green Cabin Alliance, committing to mindful manufacturing, supporting an industry-wide cultural shift in attitudes towards sustainability, and aligning with parent brand AW Hainsworth's core vision and values. The Green Cabin Alliance brings together experts and organisations from the aircraft interiors industry whose shared aim is to reduce the environmental impact of aviation cabin interiors.

Arco,  the UK’s leading safety company, has become the safety industry’s first participant in the Science Based Target initiative (SBTi) carbon reduction model, paving the way towards its net zero aim. To do this, Arco has committed to reducing its absolute scope 1, 2 and 3 greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) from purchased goods and services 42 per cent by FY2030 from a FY2021 base year. (The target boundary includes land-related emissions from commodities such as cotton and rubber used in Arco products and removals from bioenergy feedstocks). The SBTi is a global body enabling businesses to set ambitious emissions reduction targets, in line with the latest climate science and a 1.5 degree of global warming. Arco revealed its science-based net zero target is focused on prioritising the reduction of emissions across all scopes to reach net zero emissions by 2045. Jim Harbidge, Head of Sustainability at Arco said: “We are pleased to have our ambitious net zero targets approved by the SBTi. Publicly committing to these targets enhances our accountability and authenticates the work we’ve been doing over the past few years to reduce our carbon emissions." “Last year we hit a significant milestone, reducing our Scope 2 carbon emissions by 21.2 per cent in a single year. It’s therefore critical that we continue to accelerate the delivery of sustainability across the business as we look ahead at our long-term 2045 net zero targets.”

He said: “I am excited to have been promoted and given the opportunity to step up to the role of associate. BSP Consulting has a reputation for encouraging career progression and promotion from within, which is giving me the opportunity to continue my professional development and play a greater part in the management of the business.” BSP Consulting, which is based in Nottingham and has offices in Derby, Leicester and Sheffield, is an award-winning firm that operates across the UK, offering civil engineering, structural engineering, transport engineering, geotechnical and environmental engineering.
