Filatura C4, an Italian firm known for smart innovation in the recuperation of technical and natural fibres, is showing its new Re-Verso re-engineered wool made-fabric by Audejas, a leading producer of upholstery and home textile fabrics, at the ongoing international yarn expo, FILO Milano, being held on February 21 and 22, 2018, in Italy, in booth G43.

At the expo, Filatura C4 is showing the new product signed by Audejas, made of 75 per cent of wool (55 per cent Re.Verso wool) in mix with 20 per cent polyamide and 5 per cent other fibres.

The collection was planned to satisfy the market’s increasingly more specific needs, which require increased specialisation and responsibility in the recovery of textile fabrics. Thanks to the Re.Verso system, the company offers quality products with low environmental impact through the use of pre-consumer wool packaging cuts which are collected, selected and processed in an accredited, fully transparent and traceable way. The Re.Verso collection is mainly employed in contract and home furnishing.

The Re.Verso product is available in a range of counts going from 5,000 to 9,500 Nm and it can be supplied both in singles and in twisted plies. Re.Verso yarns by Filatura C4 are certified by ICEA (Environmental and Ethical Certification Institute) according to GRS (Global Recycled Standard) issued by the international body Textile Exchange and can boast unique savings (in comparison to virgin wool) in terms of energy (-27 per cent), water consumption (-53 per cent), and CO2 emissions (-49 per cent), as certified by the LCA (Life Cycle Assessment) study led by Prima Q.
