Radici emphasises sustainability of its yarns

01/11/2012
Italian chemical company Radici Group has stressed the importance of ensuring products have a reduced environmental footprint, as well as good performance and safety.

Research and development manager Roberto Parenzan, said: “For years, our main objective has been to offer innovative, sustainable yarns that guarantee the same flexibility and performance as standard products. Sustainability has become a strategic factor in many of the sectors for which we develop our yarns, from technical sportswear to intimatewear and automotive.

“This is essential in order to maintain and strengthen competitiveness, especially in these difficult times. The r-Radyarn, r-Starlight and CornLeaf yarn lines, which we discussed in September at the Man-Made Fibers Congress in Dornbirn, Germany, are concrete examples of our commitment to offering our customers sustainability, high performance and safety.”

r-Radyarn is a low environmental impact product made from 100% recycled PET bottles. It is an eco-sustainable yarn for applications in the technical sportswear and furnishings sectors. Garments have a smaller environmental footprint, comfort, freshness,breathability, colourfastness and thermoregulation.

CornLeaf is produced from Ingeo polylactic acid, a natural material made from renewable vegetable resources. Because of its properties and the production process used, CornLeaf meets eco-sustainability standards such as lower CO2 emissions and reduced water and energy consumption.
