Product information
In the actual world every day full with wastes produced by consumerist societies, creating a circular economy by recycling has become very important. In textile world brands and retailers can use their own textile waste as a raw material. We’ve followed this important concept of circular economy creating a new insulation made of wool. It’s a product that rises from the recycle of pre-consumer rags, which are produced from primary textile processing of important retailer companies. This product is created following 3 important steps: in the first one the pre-consumer wastes are sourced and sorted in Italy and in some European countries. In the second step the wastes are selected and mechanically transformed into a wool fiber base ready to being processed and in the third and last step the fiber can become a high quality product as yarn or insulation. With this wool we’ve created a new exceptional insulation, soft and warm, breathable and thermoregulating, besides being also eco-friendly and made in Italy. The raw material is Global Recycle Standard (GRS) certified, an important certification that guarantees the high transparency in the production chain and encourages the use of recycled materials.
