IT’S HARD WORK
BUT SOMEONE HAS TO DO IT
ROLLING IN THE DEEP
It doesn’t take science to realise that the garment industry needs to become more sustainable. But it does take chemistry and a deep commitment to trying new solutions rather than sitting on the sidelines.
WATER-BASED
PRODUCTS
Water-based products?
What witchcraft is this?!
Yet, from Rio to Dream AQUA, we keep innovation flowing by investing in technology to develop high-performance, low environmental impact adhesive solutions and phase out substances that deplete human and environmental health.
SOLVENT-FREE
PRODUCTS
We focus a significant part of our Research and Development (R&D) on eliminating, replacing and reducing solvents and creating innovative thermo-adhesive solutions and applications. A revolution that makes ECO, literally, like our family of 100% solvent-free double-sided adhesive tapes and films with high-performance properties.
PFAS-FREE
PRODUCTS
No ‘eternal substances’ here, thank you!
We are for a future that literally lasts forever, on the planet and in our bodies. That’s why all our products do not contain the slightest trace of PFAS, while ensuring maximum impermeability to water and wind.
SUSTAINABLE OR ASK OTHERS
Durable, with the same mind-boggling performance as always, plus sustainable. These are the only new products we develop,
because creating new lines is already difficult, but to do so by damaging
the future would be nonsense.
DREAM (AQUA)
ENVIRONMENTAL
PERFORMANCE
DREAM AQUA (5800)
DREAM AQUA is a complete and versatile line of water-based, DMFa-free adhesive tapes and films that significantly reduces the environmental impact of the product and the process.
PRODUCT
CERTIFICATIONS
& SUSTAINABILITY
PROGRAMMES
We make responsible decisions, protect natural resources and – guess what? – we have the certifications to prove it. We also follow globally recognised programmes for the sustainable development of the fashion industry.
OEKO TEX
STANDARD 100 CLASS 1
An independent and internationally uniform control and certification system that certifies that raw materials, semi-finished and finished products in the textile industry are free of harmful substances at every level of processing, including the accessory materials used.
ZDHC
ROADMAP TO ZERO
ZDHC’s programme guides the fashion industry to eliminate harmful chemicals from its global supply chain, protecting workers, consumers and ecosystems. We not only comply with it, but are among the 4% of ZDHC Signatory Suppliers who have achieved the progressive level of Impact Accelerator.
NOT ONLY PRODUCTS
By this point on the page you will have realised that sustainability is serious business for us. And in fact here is everything we do – beyond products – to do our part towards a perfectly circular economy.
QUALITY &
DURABILITY
Sustainable and flawless? Yes, thank you! Who said that to respect the planet we have to settle for less? We want it all: durable, excellent quality products that are also sustainable. Call it ambition, we call it the future.
TRANSPARENCY
& TRACEABILITY
Roll out the history of each of our products, step by step, to reduce fragmentation issues and ensure that each step complies with national regulations and international standards. That is why we have been working on a vertical structure, and are implementing a system of traceability of internal processes and monitoring of our product chain.
RESPONSIBLE RESEARCH
& DEVELOPMENT
From solutions made of recycled fabrics to solvent-free products, we are always on the hunt for sustainable product and process innovations.
How do we find them? By investing in talent and bringing it on board. So, today, we have a Chemical Manager and an R&D Manager, our spearheads in promoting and managing responsible development.
RENEWABLE
ENERGIES
How many things can you do with 6,500 square metres? While you think about it, we’ll tell you what we did: we filled them with photovoltaic panels that allow us to self-produce part of the electricity that powers our factory. This is one of the many small steps we are taking to reduce our environmental impact.
