✨ We won the "Climate Project of the Year" at the Climate and Nature Impact Awards by Textile Exchange 🎗 This award celebrates those in the #fashion, #textile, and #apparel industries who show exceptional commitment to driving positive impacts for both climate and nature. 🎖 Textile Exchange, "#Manteco® has demonstrated its commitment to #recycling and #circularity, which is why we are pleased to award them Climate Project of the Year for its #MWool® and #ReviWool® fibers." 🏆 After winning major awards like the "Climate Action Award" at CNMI's Sustainable Fashion Awards 2023, we're honored once again to be recognized for our commitment to sustainability and circularity. 📣 As our co-CEO Marco Mantellassi has it, “This award represents a significant step not only for Manteco® but for the entire textile industry […] We’re excited to continue working for a more responsible, sustainable industry, where innovation, quality, and respect for the environment go hand in hand.” #Manteco #Sustainability #Circularity #TextileExchange #MWool #ReviWool #ResponsibleFashion

✨ La Mania chose to use premium quality #Manteco fabrics to craft their luxury, enveloping and durable #coats 🧥 Here's their ADELINE coat, a timeless classic in its most beautiful form, designed to serve people for years. Perfect for cooler days, and complementing both casual and formal styles. 🌟 It is made with our Noble #textiles, which are made of exclusive, extra-fine, wool and cashmere yarns made in our #Casentino Lane spinning facility. #SustainableFabrics #ResponsibleFashion #MadeInItaly #CircularEconomy

💥 Proud to share our latest collaboration with & Other Stories, and their range of #coats and #blazers made with our #MWool® fabrics 🍂 Using MWool® fabrics means eliminating the need to use new #wool by making the most of what’s already been produced, with a low impact process, as they are made by mechanically #recycling post-consumer garments and pre-consumer leftovers. 🥊Compared to generic virgin wool fibers, this #circular fiber impacts 99,2% less on climate change, 99,9% less on water use and 93,3% less on total energy consumption. #andotherstories #Manteco #SustainableFabrics #ResponsibleFashion #MadeInItaly #CircularEconomy

💥 Sharing our special partnership with Samsøe Samsøe For a long time, we have worked closely with the Scandinavian brand, helping them increase their share of preferred and more responsible materials in their outerwear collections, with a winning mix of tradition, innovation, science and premium quality. Our materials align with Samsøe Samsøe’s strategy, as their CSR Manager, Femme van Gils, explains: "We carefully select partners that provide high-quality recycled materials to increase our total share of preferred and particularly recycled fibres, as per our Materials Strategy. Choosing #MWool® for our outerwear is a natural continuation of our partnernship with #Manteco® and the ambitions for the fashion industry that we share." #SustainableFabrics #ResponsibleFashion #MadeInItaly #CircularEconomy

Samsøe Samsøe setzt in seiner Herbst/Winter 2024 Kollektion auf nachhaltige Materialien und stärkt seine fünfjährige Partnerschaft mit Manteco. Die Zusammenarbeit hebt recycelte Wolle hervor, insbesondere das innovative MWool, das ohne den Einsatz von Chemikalien oder Färbungen aus alten Wollstoffen gewonnen wird. Gemeinsam treiben beide Kollab-Partner die Entwicklung nachhaltiger Mode voran, um Verantwortung und Innovation in Einklang zu bringen.

⚠️ Here’s a million-dollar question: How many times can #wool be recycled? ✨ It is not news that wool is a highly #recyclable material, but nobody has answered this question… At least until now!   📒 As leaders in the production of #RecycledWool, thanks to our #MWool®, we partnered with the University of Leeds to carry out a pioneering study and answer this. Here’s what we found out 👇 1️⃣ Wool has the potential to be mechanically recycled up to 6 times in a closed-loop system. 2️⃣ The number of times wool fibres can be recycled strongly depends on the initial fibre length, the structure of the fabric and the setting of the recycling machine. 3️⃣ Recycling does not affect wool’s tensile strength. 📣 Thanks to this study, “Closed loop mechanical recyclability of post-consumer waste wool fabrics based on fibre length retention”, published in the Journal of Cleaner Engineering and Technology, we wanted to highlight even more how wool is THE key fibre to create effective #CircularEconomy models, thanks to its durability and recyclability.   👇 Read this #article to discover more!

✨ So proud to share our co-branding with Outerknown! ♻️ Their North Beach Bomber, Presidio Poncho, the Woolaroo Shirt Jacket and our Sienna Car Coat are all made with our #MWool® textiles, obtained by regenerating preloved #wool garments through a low impact mechanical recycling process. 🌿MWool®, compared to generic virgin wool fibers, impacts 99,2% less on climate change, 99,9% less on water use and 93,3% less on total energy consumption, while maintaining all the natural characteristics of virgin wool. #SustainableFabrics #ResponsibleFashion #MadeInItaly #CircularEconomy

✨ So proud to share our long-term partnership with Club Monaco and their latest #coats, which are made with #Manteco’s premium fabrics.    #CLUBMONACO decided to use our #MadeInItaly, high-quality and #durable textiles also because of their reduced environmental impacts. #SustainableFabrics #ResponsibleFashion #MadeInItaly #CircularEconomy #CMFW24

🎉 Last week we hosted the Fashion Design #students of Fashion Institute of Technology Florence and Marie Astier for a #MantecoAcademy field trip! 🎓 What is the Manteco Academy project? Manteco Academy is a project that aims at fostering more transparency and truthfulness in the fashion industry, by educating fashion students, from all over the world, on what actual sustainability, circular economy and eco-designed textiles are; all of this through lessons, webinars, workshops and field trips. We also provide our deadstock fabrics, or other textile materials, for contests and sponsorships.

💥 Great to share another great collaboration with NN.07 🧥 Their #FW24 Timo Flannel Blazer and Paw Wide straight leg pinstripe relaxed fit Trousers are made with our #patented fabric called #Woolten®, which is made of 40% #MWool®, 30% Lenzing #TENCEL™ Lyocell fibers and 30% Recycled Polyamide. ♻️ What is MWool®? It is our next generation of #recycled wool, obtained by carefully selecting and mechanically recycling the best possible pre- and post-consumer garments and scraps. Compared to generic virgin wool fibers, this circular fiber impacts 99,2% less on climate change, 99,9% less on water use and 93,3% less on total energy consumption, while maintaining all the natural characteristics of virgin wool. #SustainableFabrics #ResponsibleFashion #MadeInItaly #CircularEconomy #NoNationality
