GREEN PRODUCTS AND TEXTILE RECYCLING
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.

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
