At Pitti Filati, and as part of a journey to make better products, the Filpucci Group invites the fashion industry to experience its new line of creativity in sustainable yarn. The “Responsible Innovation Collection” represents a new level of smart innovation linked to responsible, eco-centric production. The collection uses the best high-tech, natural-based materials, combined with Filpucci’s dying & finishing expertise. This gives customer’s real access to a new, fashion-forward aesthetic, where quality and smart uniqueness in these new, more responsible yarns, deliver a new textile era of sustainable fashion solutions that are driven by ethical and natural values.
Filpucci has announced it is a new official partner of Creativity Lifestyle and Sustainable Synergy (C.L.A.S.S.). Since 2007, C.L.A.S.S., a unique multi-platform HUB based in Milan, specialises in integrating a new generation of eco-values for fashion, home products and business strategies. These values speak to a new, smarter, contemporary consumer.
Founded by Giusy Bettoni, C.L.A.S.S. introduces a new way of design thinking that represents a shift in culture, enabling businesses to be competitive and socially innovative. Filpucci is also a key ambassador for the unique C.L.A.S.S. partner product, Re.Verso™, for its luxury upcycled cashmere yarn. New additional steps on the Filpucci journey towards a more responsible approach to smart design and manufacture include: The signing of a new ‘Values Chart’ in conjunction with a joint consortium to guarantee sustainable production chains that are fully traceable with certified materials and measured environmental performances, such as reducing CO2, water use and power consumption.
The company is also GRS accredited with dyeing facilities that are second to none, boasting a GOTS certification alongside recycling 70 per cent of water and also as part of the DETOX campaign for the last 3 years. This is a key added value mirroring the entire company’s dyeing operation. The Filpucci Group produces its own ‘Balance of Sustainability’ report each year to measure and account for issues relating to the business impact of a responsible innovation strategy and research optimisation into origins of materials, transparency, certifications and processes designed to reduce environmental impacts and a no-waste manufacturing philosophy.
