Renycle® is recycled nylon 6, a highly valued material because of its excellent resistance, dyeability, softness and versatility. Through recovery and recycling, production scrap is converted into polymers and then into yarn endowed with excellent performance characteristics suitable for apparel and other textile applications.



With a reduced environmental impact: actually, according to the first internal measurements, Renycle® polymer saves more than 87% of energy and 90% of water, while achieving comparable performance in terms of quality as its virgin counterpart. In addition, CO2 emissions are reduced by almost 90%.

Repetable® is a yarn obtained from post-consumer recycled PET bottles, with optimal performance and multiple possibilities as for additives, dyeings and treatments. This is the ideal solution for the apparel, sport and fashion industries because Repetable® allows an energy saving of 60%, brings about 45% lower CO2 emissions and its production process involves a water saving of 90%.??"Performance Days - concludes De Silvestri - is an opportunity to confirm that producers of raw materials, upstream in the supply chain, are ready with a certified offer as for sustainability. Recyclability, eco-design, compatibility of materials are the essential drivers for a truly sustainable European textile industry».
