In line with the global trend of preserving the planet’s sustainability, knitting machine manufacturers continuously develop technologies for the industry, striving for cleaner production practices with social responsibility and careful use of natural resources. Various methods of supporting sustainability are present in processes such as the reuse, recycling, and upcycling of raw materials and discarded products to minimize the environmental impact of waste. Over the past decades, the flat knitting industry has evolved technologically and now produces lighter garments that no longer require cutting and sewing processes. This innovation began in the penultimate decade of the 20th century and currently dominates the flat knitting sector through REC machines, where the garment exits the machine fully finished, seamless, and waste-free, contributing to planetary sustainability without compromising product quality. Garment design in REC knitting is based on methodologies involving a series of stages, mainly focusing on innovations that meet the needs of the product development process, technical research, aesthetic performance, and more. Depending on the chosen technique, flat knitting machine, and raw material, different production workflows may be used. The raw material manufacturers for apparel produced on flat-bed knitting machines also contribute through research to offer consumers comfortable and sustainable products.

Inclui uma pesquisa de campo no Polo Industrial do Sul de Minas Gerais (regiões de Monte Sião e Águas de Lindóia), cidades de alta concentração de indústrias de Malharia retilínea. O objetivo dessa dissertação é explorar o desenvolvimento de produto em Vestuário de Moda da Malharia Retilínea (VMMR), captando as variáveis que influenciam no grau de inovação dos produtos, bem como a capacidade de atingir o objetivo estético idealizado e a viabilidade produtiva. Para atingir esse objetivo, apresenta-se a cadeia de suprimentos do produto de VMMR, bem como a evolução dos recursos tecnológicos das máquinas retilíneas. A fim de compreender o processo criativo no desenvolvimento de produto de moda em malharia retilínea, é fundamental examinar de perto a contribuição dos elos da cadeia de abastecimento.

Human Factors in Aging Consumers

These kinds of users are a group in great expansion with numerous associated specific needs that compete for the development of their well-being and maintenance of a high standard of comfort and health. Identifying the biggest changes seniors find in their bodies over time, how they view these changes, how they adapt to it, is a frequent issue for this type of users, who in many cases do not yet have clothing and equipment specifically adapted to their daily tasks and needs. A bibliographic review and analysis of some case studies will be conducted in order to obtain a more complete picture of the reality that surrounds this group of users and their needs in the choice of clothing.
