Konstadin Dino Kantzavelos

Being a textile cleaner of the second generation, he was raised in a family of textile cleaners. Together with his two brothers Dino was eager and ambitious to gain knowledge and develop expertise to do the best possible job in cleaning textiles. In this spirit he took WET CLEANING as an Art to do the impossible in professional textile cleaning beyond customer expectations.
This approach brought Dino Kantzavelos to reach out to colleagues and experts to share his know-how and to stimulate professional wet cleaning in modern textile care.
The work of the Canada Fabricare Association was an excellent opportunity to stimulate business development in Canada and create a new future perspective.

Since June 2015, he heads the Hessnatur Foundation as CEO. Rolf Heimann has been active for 30 years in the field of textile ecology. For example, in the nineties, he led a company that produced ecological dye stuff, long before the term sustainability was even used in the industry.

Already back in 2002 until 2010, he was active in the executive board of IVN (International Association for Natural Textiles) and part of the IVN research and guidance committee as well as a joint founder of the international textile standard GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard). Since the nineties, he was a partner at a sustainability consultancy for the textile industry with offices in Istanbul and later also in Hong Kong.

During this time and until today, many successes in introducing products to a niche market were achieved. The connecting element in all of these projects is that under challenging circumstances, products (e.g., from small-scale businesses and/or from developing countries) were produced and further developed to suit the European market’s demand.

From 2011-2018, he was the founder of and tutor at the master program Sustainability in Fashion at ESMOD Berlin.
Thanks to his unique and extensive experience, Rolf Heimann is a frequently requested keynote speaker and participant at panel discussions regarding applied sustainability in the textile industry.
