Product information

NATIVA SILK PAD GRS is the new “active warmth insulation” that allows air exchange for breathability and comfort in more dynamic situations. This new 100% recycled insulation has the amazing ability to keep us cool when it’s warm and warm when it’s cold. Silk has a smooth, soft texture that is not slippery, unlike many synthetic fibers. Silk’s absorbency makes it comfortable to wear in warm weather and during sport performances. Its low conductivity keeps warm air close to the skin during cold weather. Silk’s part is composed by pre-consumer yarn’s wastes – these come from the end of cones which are discarded during the production of noble pure silk fabrics. The cones are recovered and the part of pure silk is removed and then degummed. The degumming, if realized adequately, gives the fiber itself an incomparable shine and brightness. The method that is most commonly followed is the one which tends to exploit soapy solutions (first of all Marseille soap). The fibroin, which composes 75% of the yarn, is finally mixed with GRS polyester staple fibers. GRS - Global Recycled Standard is an holistic certification for products with recycled contents.

Imbotex Srl

Founded in 1955, Imbotex is a leading manufacturer of natural, recycled and technological paddings. Sustainability and innovation are the pillars of our products, from furniture and bedding to fashion and professional sports. The female leadership and the steady eye on new developments have been our hallmarks through time. In 2019 we founded ImbotexLab, NewCo of the Company, focused on advanced insulations functionality with circular economy and sustainability contents. We patented a fully vertical and mechanical process, which includes the collection of discarded virgin material scraps and yarns and is less impactful in terms of energy consumption, water usage and CO₂ emissions.
