The natural beauty, the human heritage to be preserved, the excellence of innovation: these are all values which – if missing – cannot guarantee the high end range. For this reason, while pursuing our corporate vision, we look at the circular economy as a point of arrival. We recycle our materials because we believe that in this way they tell even more interesting stories, bringing with them the meaning of the previous lives.
THERE IS NO LUXURY WITHOUT AN IDEA OF SUSTAINABILITY
For us in Filati Naturali, the concept of luxury cannot be separated from the context in which it is embedded.
THE RECYCLING PROCESS
Wool garments (post-consumer) are sorted for quality, color and fibre contents.
Material is re-sized to flock dimensions. Now fibers can be mixed in specific proportions to determine colors.
Material undergoes carding, spinning and all garmenting process as any other fiber would.
WE OBTAINED GRS CERTIFICATION
We obtained GRS (Global Recycle Standard) certification from Textile Exchange, the international non-profit organisation that supports the commitment of manufacturers in accelerating the implementation of sustainability in the textiles production chain.
This certification attests to the presence of recycled raw materials in the production cycle, it guarantees traceability all the way to the finished product while monitoring conformity with environmental practices and social responsibility, as well as the absence of harmful chemical substances.
Therefore, we state that quality has an intrinsic sustainability, for the environment and the users of the products: goods that project their duration longer over time, bringing with them the value of the artisan labour, the cultural and artistic heritage that is its background, contributing to the widespread well-being of the reference communities.
