ECO AND RECYCLED PRODUCTS

In 2021 we manufactured 130 new moulds specifically designed to be used with recycled materials. The goal is to reduce our environmental impact, our carbon footprint and the use of virgin materials.

Together we take care of the environment.

 

  • 100% Recycled nylon

Recycled nylon comes from waste material, more specifically from recycling plants that receive leftover pieces of fabric from garment factories. Using this material we reduce our carbon footprint by 75% and we manufacture moving parts that are as resistant as or even stronger than non-recycled ones.

This material is sewable and available in black and raw colour. It is ideal for garments, equipment, shoes and accessories. It is certified Blue Sign and Global Recycled Standard.

  • Nature content

The range, also known under the name Grainy, amazes us with its composition: 50% waste from the food chain from peels and stems and 50% from virgin plastic. These products boast from a carbon footprint reduction of 50% compared to standard production.

This material is more delicate, making it perfect for buttons, grommets, cable adjusters, and similar items. Products in this range are available in 5 natural colours and are Blue Sign certified.

 

  • Renewable

In the renewable range we use vegetable oil extracted from castor seeds and mix it with Nylon or TPU to obtain the new materials called Plant-based Nylon and Plant-based TPU. Production with these materials reduces the carbon footprint compared to standard production by 70% and 40% respectively.

In addition, we have patented our production technology that uses less water. Items can be made in any colour. Renewable items are also certified Blue Sign.
