“The Prose Award is one of the highest honours a book can ever achieve,” enthuses Roshan Paul. “This award is a result of the synergistic team work with all the chapter authors and is a dream come true.” Thomas Gries adds: “As part of the ITA Group International Centre for Sustainable Textiles, ITA has been conducting high-quality research on sustainable textiles for several years. The results from this research also form the basis for our book. This is how we live up to our claim ‘Textile Innovations – Sustainable. Digital. Individual’”.

Since 1976, the award has been presented every year. The Association of American Publishers Awards for Professional and Scholarly Excellence (Prose Awards) have recognised authors, editors, and publishers who have mad significant advances in their respective fields with their groundbreaking works.
