Photovoltaic System
We invest in an energy production plant to improve energy efficiency and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
As SMEs, our company has benefited from a grant through participation in a call for tenders, launched by the Abruzzo Region, for a project of "Actions to contain energy expenditure, reduce emissions and encourage the use of renewable sources".
The project was realized in 2020 with the installation of a photovoltaic system of about 100 kwp, whose production is for exclusive internal use.
The goal is to achieve the self-production of electricity from renewable sources of 50%.
2020: plant installation;
2021: plant activation and data collection started;
Energy produced in the first year: 125,188.97 kWh (from 30/09/2021 to 30/09/2022);
Emissions avoided in I year: 101.3 t CO2
Investment in Human Resources and R&D
To face future challenges, we cannot do without people.
We invest in personnel with training and specialization courses so that everyone can work to achieve the goals experienced as common and with greater awareness.
In 2022, the total number of hours of training provided to employees amounted to about 1,220 hours of training; the main themes were sustainability, ecodesign, fibers and fabrics, and certifications.
In a constantly changing scenario, it also becomes strategic to promote all Research and Development activities focused on the research of innovative fabrics, the reduction of waste, reuse, and the study of solutions that allow us to be among the promoters of the new textile production of the work wear industry.
Open-es is a system initiative, which brings together the industrial, financial, and institutional world through a digital platform that involves and supports all companies in their process of measurement and growth from a sustainability perspective.
Being open to all companies, Open-es numbers already has more than 11,000 companies. A real community is based on discussion, collaboration, and identification of priority actions, thus contributing to the sustainable development of an open and collaborative ecosystem.
Recovery of textile waste
Pre-consumer recycling
All the scraps of our production find a new destination of use. Recovering scraps involves a selection process that sorts by weight, color, and composition and ends with a garnet phase that transforms the scraps into fibrous material to be used in the production of goods of diverse industrial sectors: for example, car mats, sound-absorbing panels, cleaning cloths, and more.
After recovering 29,850kg of waste fabrics in 2022, we are continuing our recycling and recovery activities this year with 7,520kg (given in June 2023 on Italian production).
Thanks to this first step towards greater sustainability of production, we can avoid the disposal of textile waste in landfills or the use of incinerators. Collecting and recycling our garments is only the first step towards our greater goal.
In progress
Carbon Footprint
Today, the "carbon footprint" is one of the most used and observed parameters to determine the environmental impacts of human activities on climate change and, therefore, on global warming.
Specifically, it allows us to estimate the emissions into the atmosphere of greenhouse gases caused by a product, a service, an organization, an event, or an individual, generally expressed in tons of CO2 equivalent (carbon dioxide or carbon dioxide), calculated over the entire life cycle of the system under analysis.
The scale of industrial and productive activities makes this estimate very difficult.
The process of measuring our Carbon Footprint is ongoing and will be the optimal starting point to evaluate partial or total compensation tools to improve the impact of our business over time.
