Responsibility and ethical duty: the sustainability virtuous cycle
Right from its incorporation, Lanificio di Tollegno has been working to uphold constant balance between production efficiency and safeguarding the habitat creating the foundation for a circular economy with sustainability, smart recovery and conscious recycling as its cornerstones. Therefore, safeguarding the environment and the people are an ethical responsibility and duty. These values are expressed by policies and investments consistent with this approach and by creating innovative clothing fabrics such as 3DWOOL.
This extensive commitment is attested by some certificates, an actual gauge of how the production and processing of fabrics meets specific green requirements. This is also confirmed by the certificates awarded to Lanificio di Tollegno, including: 4Sustainability, which guarantees that textile products do not contain substances that are harmful to people and the environment considering the global and ultra-fragmented nature of the supply chain; RWS, a standard regarding the wellness of sheep and safeguarding their environment; Nativa®. Focusing on the quality and traceability of wool fibers throughout the value chain, this certificate ensures the creation of authentic outfits due to the use of natural fibers, safeguarding the wellness of animals and of the environment.
Environment which Lanificio di Tollegno focuses on and nurtures, as attested by some concrete measures: using purification plants which treat production water daily and return it to River Cervo fully complying with law requirements on the surface water drains; installation of 12,500 sqm of photovoltaic solar panels installed on the weaving plant; the presence of a hydroelectric plant with 2 state-of-the-art turbines.
Besides this, there is also the use of cutting-edge technologies in terms of machines and processing methods in every production step.
Given the absence of harmful substances, this offers a comfortable and safe environment for the staff members. 3D was created in this environment and taking these values into account.
