RECYCLED (POST or PRE CONSUMER) IN ORGANIC PA and PL

In the context of sustainable waste management, recycling represents a fundamental pillar for reducing environmental impact. Recycling waste, both pre-consumer and post-consumer, is vital in the circular economy, reducing the use of natural resources and landfill accumulation. Attention to organic waste, such as food waste, has grown: their recycling through composting or biogas production not only reduces waste in landfill but generates resources such as compost and renewable energy. In addition, certified sustainable finishes in the textile industry reduce environmental impact by ensuring the use of ecological methods such as the use of safe chemicals and water conservation. The adoption of these sustainable practices is fundamental for a responsible future and to promote a more circular and conscious economy.

CERTIFICATIONS

GOTS

Global Organic Textile Standard GOTS is recognized as the most important standard for the sustainable production of clothing and textile products made from organically grown natural fibers such as organic cotton or organic wool. GOTS covers the entire production process covering the raw material (thread), dyeing and finishing.

Scope of certificate

GRS

Global Recycled Standard GRS is the certification that guarantees the recycled origin of the material used and the lowest possible environmental impact along the entire production chain, with great attention to ethical aspects. This combination is divided into pre-consumption (e.g. residue during the production of plastic bottles) and post-consumption (the same bottles once used by the consumer).

Scope of certificate

OCS

Organic Content Standard is promoted internationally and involves the issue of a third party environmental declaration which verifies that the final product contains the exact quantity of a specific organically farmed item. It covers solely the nature of the raw material.

Scope of certificate

BCI

Better Cotton Initiative (BCI), a global non-profit organization, is the largest program promoting sustainability regarding cotton production worldwide. BCI aims at transforming the production of cotton globally, fighting the negative impacts regarding the cultivation and processing of cotton.

BCI

ISO 9001

A certificate that documents the processes, procedures and responsibilities necessary to achieve both quality policies and objectives. It is based on eight quality management principles: customer focus, leadership, staff involvement, process approach, organizational context, continuous improvement, fact-based decision making, risk-based thinking.

Scope of certificate

ISO 14001

Is an environmental management system that permits, in compliance within current regulations, the reduction of the negative impact of a company in its context, reducing pollution and harmful emissions.

Scope of certificate

ISO 45001

Amongst our objectives in terms of certifications is ISO 45001, expected before the end of 2024.

GREENLINE

NEW LIFE TO FABRICS

Thanks to our collaboration with GreenLine, an Italian partner that deals with the recovery and management of pre-consumer textile waste, we are able to transform it into a new regenerated resource. 1 RECOVERY
The recovery of textile waste takes place using authorized procedure and is divided by type and quality, with classifications for color, fineness and composition 2 TRACEABILITY
GreenLine allows complete traceability of the material through the use of technologies designed to monitor the path at every stage of recover 3 DISTRIBUTION
In order to avoid risks of counterfeiting, the mechanical shredding of delivered material is assured within an internal department thus making it unrecognizable 4 CIRCULARITY
The fibers obtained from previously frayed production is now available to be sold to brands, in order to close the circle of circularity in the fashion sector
