Filature Miroglio launches Newlife for workwear textiles
Italian company Filature Miroglio has launched its Newlife recycled yarn platform for the workwear and protective textiles markets.
Newlife yarns are made from recycled post-consumption plastic bottles using a mechanical process and certified as 100% made in Italy along the whole supply chain.
The range includes POY, flat, textured, microfibre and hollow section yarns for end uses such as fashion, sportswear, outdoor, furnishing, contract and accident prevention textiles. The company claims it also comes in a range of counts that reflect technical and environmental performance standards including moisture management, antibacterial with silver ions, and UV protection.
Filature Miroglio has announced that it is switching all of its virgin polyester filament yarns to Newlife by 2015.
