4. The entire process is Oekotex certified and has also obtained the Plastica Seconda Vita trademark issued by the Istituto Italiano dei Plastici (I.I.P.)
As explained, Newlife yarns are fully derived from recycled post-consumption plastic bottles using a mechanical process and certified as 100% made in Italy along the whole supply chain. The chain is therefore completely traceable.
Newlife offers tangible sustainable benefits. Thirty 1.5lt PET bottles are needed to produce 1kg of Newlife yarn, that saves 2.4 Tons of plastic from going to waste dumps for each ton of Newlife produced. Using current Filature Miroglio numbers and imagining the switch had already occurred, Newlife would avoid the waste of 72,000 tons of plastic, save 1,308,000.000 litres of water and 90,000 tons of Co2 over three years.
The Newlife range includes POY, flat, textured, microfibre and hollow section yarns for a wide variety of applications such as fashion, sportswear, outdoor, furnishing, contract and accident prevention textiles, to name but a few. Newlife also comes in a wide range of counts that reflect technical and environmental performance and always meet targeted application expectations.
Newlife is already making its first steps as an industry leading range for both its performance, sustainable credentials, and certified proprietary process, and a number of development projects are underway with industry-leading fashion and design brands.
