Lyfcycle at A+A 2025: Innovating for the Future of Workwear and Safety

Next month, Lyfcycle will be heading to Düsseldorf for the A+A exhibition 2025 – and we’re thrilled to be taking part as exhibitors for the first time.

For anyone in the world of workwear, or health and safety, A+A is the place to be with it being the world’s largest and most influential trade fair dedicated to just that. The event sets the agenda for the future of the industry: from cutting-edge PPE to the latest in sustainable sourcing, it’s where ideas turn into action and partnerships are forged.

For Lyfcycle, participation in A+A isn’t just about showing samples. It’s about being part of the conversation that shapes how the next generation of workwear is designed, sourced, and produced. As supply chains become more complex and demands on materials intensify, the need for innovation that doesn’t compromise sustainability has never been greater.

That’s exactly what we’ll be bringing to Hall 15, Stand C26.

Visitors to our stand can expect a curated collection of presentation samples that highlight both innovative design and advanced material capabilities. We want to spark ideas, challenge assumptions, and give brands and sourcing teams the tools they need to move forward responsibly.

Spotlight on AquaLYF™

One of the highlights of our showcase at A+A will be AquaLYF™ – a next-generation waterproofing system powered by plants.

Unlike conventional options, AquaLYF™ fuses a plant-derived PU membrane with a bio-based, PFC-free water-repellent treatment. The result is a high-performance solution that delivers waterproofing, breathability, and durability – without the reliance on fossil fuels or “forever chemicals”.

It’s a system that not only meets EN 343:2019 Class III standards for waterproofing and vapour resistance, but also cuts carbon emissions significantly compared to conventional PU, all while aligning with leading certifications such as OEKO-TEX®, bluesign®, ZDHC, and REACH.

In short, AquaLYF™ offers clean, future-ready performance – helping brands stay ahead of regulations while providing workers with reliable protection and comfort. Visitors to our stand will be able to see AquaLYF™ in action and explore how it can shape their next generation of workwear.

Explore Sustainable Material Innovation

Alongside AquaLYF™, we’ll also have an extensive library of sustainable materials to rifle through. These have been developed specifically with workwear and safety wear in mind – balancing functionality with traceability, and long-term responsibility. From mono-material solutions that simplify end-of-life recycling to blends that extend wear life without compromising protection, there will be plenty of inspiration on show.

Why does this matter? Because the workwear and safety sector is under increasing pressure to deliver garments that do more: last longer, perform better, and meet tightening environmental and regulatory standards. The companies that can adapt quickly and adopt smarter sourcing strategies will be the ones leading the market. And events like A+A are where those conversations – and collaborations – begin.

So, whether you’re a brand looking to future-proof your sourcing, a procurement specialist scouting the next breakthrough in sustainable materials, or a designer seeking inspiration, make sure you don’t miss us.
