Manteco

💥 As every year, numerous students from #DesignCampus Università degli Studi di Firenze joined us for a #MantecoAcademy field trip to explore our company and gain hands-on experience with the circularity of #wool. 🎓 Since 2018, the #Manteco Academy project has been empowering the next generation of designers by offering educational field trips, lessons, sponsorships and contests to support schools with invaluable expertise from the textile industry - inspiring the future of responsible fashion. #SustainableFabrics #ResponsibleFashion #MadeInItaly #CircularEconomy

✅ Woolrich chose to use our premium quality, low impact and circular #MWool® fabrics   🧥 Our #MWool® fabrics are obtained by repurposing the finest pre- and post-consumer luxury wool garments and scraps, which are mechanically recycled by color, so that no extra dyes are added and less resources are used in the manufacturing process. Compared to generic virgin wool fibers, this circular fiber impacts 99,2% less on climate change, 99,9% less on water use and 93,3% less on total energy consumption, while maintaining all the natural characteristics of virgin wool. 🏆 Thanks to #ReviWool® and MWool®, and our scientific approach to circularity and sustainability, we won 'The Climate Project of the Year' at the Climate and Nature Impact Awards by #TextileExchange.   #SustainableFabrics #ResponsibleFashion #MadeInItaly #CircularEconomy #Manteco

✨ 23KU x #Manteco, together for a reduced impact #luxury Our long-standing partnership with the japanese brand continues to give life to high-quality garments that are elegant, durable, and more and more #sustainable. Their new #coats are made with #Pure®, our finest #RecycledWool fabric, composed entirely of #MWool® fibers, designed to guarantee the same performance, feel, and appearance as virgin wool fabrics, but with extremely reduced impacts. Using MWool® fabrics means eliminating the need to use new wool by making the most of what’s already been produced, with a low impact process, as they are made by mechanically recycling post-consumer garments and pre-consumer leftovers. Compared to generic virgin wool fibers, this circular fiber impacts 99,2% less on climate change, 99,9% less on water use and 93,3% less on total energy consumption. #SustainableFabrics #ResponsibleFashion #MadeInItaly #CircularEconomy

📢 #MWool® and #ReviWool® now on Carbonfact! 💯 If you are using #Carbonfact for your sustainability evaluations, then you'll be happy to hear that, from now on, our fibers, MWool® and ReviWool®, will be there 📌 Perform more precise carbon footprint measurements for products made with Manteco’s wool materials! For example, if you are producing wool coats and jackets with our fabrics, you can now measure the environmental impact of MWool® or ReviWool®, instead of relating it to conventional #RecycledWool or #VirginWool, respectively, leading to more precise insights. 📌 Compare materials more accurately, and model emissions reductions across products! If you don’t use our materials yet, you can now simulate the environmental impact of switching from conventional recycled wool or virgin wool to MWool® or ReviWool®. For example, when designing a new collection, you could model the carbon emissions of a coat made with MWool® or ReviWool®, allowing for a side-by-side comparison with a coat made from conventional recycled wool or virgin wool, providing a clear basis for eco-conscious material selection. 💥 We are pretty sure all this will make your sustainability evaluations and projects WAY EASIER than before! #Manteco #MadeInItaly #CircularEconomy #ResponsibleFashion #CircularFashion #ReduceReuseRecycle
