Radici and Eurojeresy are among companies being celebrated as part of Textile Vivant at the Milan Triennial, an exhibition dedicated to the role of innovation and “Made in Italy” textiles.

Radici has its Radilon 6.10, Dorix 6.10, r-Radyarn and Cornleaf on display in a column of coloured bobbins on the Textile Vivant exhibition path. The installation, created by artist Peter Bottazzi, features a range of yarns produced by Radici Yarn and Noyfil, two RadiciGroup companies.

r-Radyarn is a made from 100% post-consumer recycled PET bottles and reduces energy consumption during the manufacturing process with a related reduction of CO2 emissions. Cornleaf is made with a biopolymer obtained from polylactic acid (PLA), a 100% renewable vegetable source material.

The exhibition runs from September 1 to November 9 in the Palazzo dell’Arte. Candiani, Canepa, Dainese, Forza Giovane Art, Gavazzi, NextMaterials and Lurex will also be represented.
