Natural Fibre Connect

NFC week is over now... here is the recap video of the last event! Our Third edition. Thanks to everyone who participated and supported. See you next year!

Thank you to Natural Fibre Connect for hosting another insightful conference in Biella, uniting the global natural fibre industries. I appreciated being part of the panel on 'Regenerative Agriculture,' where I shared insights from a supply chain perspective, alongside Dora Chi Xu from Metabolic who discussed financing and scaling, and Mariano Serratore from ICEA Istituto Certificazioni Etiche e Ambientali, who provided a certification viewpoint. A special thanks to Ravikant Sharma of VF Corporation for expertly moderating our session. Also thanks to Willy Gallia, Debora Tricarico and team for bringing this conference together and being excellent hosts! #wool #mohair #cashmere #alpaca #naturalmaterials

🧶 Il 20 settembre 2024 a Biella, si è tenuto il secondo incontro di Natural Fibre Connect Conference - Wool Days, l'evento dedicato al futuro sostenibile delle fibre naturali. Tra i relatori intervenuti, Giuseppe Portarapillo, Responsabile degli Schemi di Certificazione Tessile ICEA, ha esplorato l’importanza delle certificazioni per garantire trasparenza e sostenibilità nella filiera tessile. Durante il suo intervento, ha approfondito anche il processo di audit e l’iter da seguire per ottenere le certificazioni, fornendo strumenti concreti per le aziende che vogliono fare la differenza. #icea #NaturalFibreConnect #sostenibilità #certificazionitessili #FibreNaturali #biella

The surveillance of hazardous chemicals in the textile industry has achieved important results and the use of some hazardous substances has been generally reduced over the years. We analysed the situation of virgin fibres and raw fabrics in our presentation at Natural Fibre Connect. Here you will find the presentation by Riccardo Dall'Anese, chemical manager of TIL

Always great to hear from our growers in the U.S.

The sentiment is very possitive, with huge challenges ahead but with a resilient and growing cummunity that is Natural Fibre Connect. Don't miss out on the next two days in Biella.
