RTP Radom at the Heart of Scandinavian Innovation: A Report from the Sveriges Tvätteriförbund Autumn Meeting 2025
On November 13, 2025, we had the pleasure of participating in one of the most important events in the Northern European laundry industry. The Autumn Meeting of the Swedish Laundry Association (Sveriges Tvätteriförbund) in Lund was not only an opportunity for us to present RTP’s solutions, but above all, an inspiring lesson about the future of textile services.
This year’s edition, organized at the Elite Hotel Ideon in Lund, set entirely new standards for the industry. The event gathered a record number of 205 participants and 42 exhibitors – including the RTP Radom stand. The atmosphere of the meeting, combined with the celebration of the Association’s 85th anniversary, clearly showed that this sector is dynamically growing and uniting forces towards innovation.
Here are the key insights we brought back from Sweden:
1. Waste becomes value – a lesson in circularity
As a manufacturer of reusable solutions, we listened with great interest to the keynote speech by Anders Thorgaard from the Textilia Group. He presented impressive results from the Upcy ApS initiative, which in 2024 alone transformed 640 tons of rejected textiles into over 2.8 million new products. This confirms RTP’s mission: the industry must move away from disposability. Both upcycling and our durable laundry bags and covers are elements of the same strategy – closing the loop and reducing waste.
2. Transparency is the new currency
We were very impressed by the PDNA (Product DNA) presentation. Robin Cornelius and Thibaut Poncin showed how technology and software can transform raw data into full supply chain transparency. The motto “the consumer has the right to know” resonates with us – at RTP, we also focus on full quality control, sewing 100% of our products in Poland, which guarantees our customers certainty and security.
3. Technology and ecology go hand in hand
The meeting in Lund confirmed that a modern laundry is a blend of advanced technology and environmental responsibility:
-
Max Ziermann from Sankosha Europe presented innovations in automation that increase process efficiency (which perfectly aligns with our bags for suspended systems).
-
Henry Eskola from Scandbio AB proved that switching to renewable energy (pellets) is justified both economically and ecologically.
Why Lund?
The choice of location was not accidental. Lina Olsson from the City Council presented Lund as one of the 100 leading European cities in climate transformation, aiming for neutrality by 2030. Being part of an event in such a future-oriented environment is a source of pride for RTP Radom.
Summary
The Autumn Meeting 2025 was one of the most substantive and forward-looking events in the Association’s history. We are delighted to have been a part of it, exchanging experiences with market leaders and jointly shaping the future of sustainable textile services.
Thank you to the organizers, partners, and everyone who visited our stand. See you at the next trade fair!
