✨ Challenging students today to design a more sustainable tomorrow. 👏 Meet the winners of our first #MantecoSustainabilityAward with Accademia Italiana. Congratulations to Alice Ambrosio, Gaia Orso, Benedetta Polello, Gaia Schiavon and Martina Strambi, whose project "Menda" impressed us with its innovative approach to sustainability and design. 🧥 The name "Menda", meaning defect or imperfection, invites reflection on self-acceptance, emphasizing the importance of embracing one’s imperfections in a world often driven by perfection. This concept aligns with the Japanese philosophy of wabi-sabi, which finds beauty in imperfection, incompleteness, and the passage of time. 🪄 This seasonless womenswear collection redefines comfort and elegance through an approach that celebrates individuality, showing a perfect balance between oversized silhouettes, layering, cut-out details, fabric manipulations and contrasting elements. #MantecoAcademy #Manteco #MadeInItaly #ResponsibleFashion #CircularFashion #DesignContest

⛔️ Nobody wants garments covered in #pilling—that’s why choosing brands that use #Manteco textiles makes a real difference. 🧥 Pilling happens when loose fibers tangle due to friction, forming those unwanted fuzz balls. But did you know that high-quality textile production can help prevent it? From fiber selection to spinning, weaving, and finishing, every step plays a crucial role in reducing fiber shedding and enhancing durability. 🪢 We tackle pilling through advanced research, testing and innovation, ensuring our fabrics maintain their beauty and longevity over time. #SustainableFashion #TextileInnovation #MantecoFabrics

💡#Innovation is rooted in #Heritage 📖 That’s why, in 2018, we decided to make our textile heritage accessible to fashion brands, schools, journalists, and industry professionals—while also celebrating our 75th anniversary in style. 🏛 #ArchivioManteco is a living showcase of our history, serving as a constant source of inspiration for our customers and design team, fueling the creation of new textiles, collection after collection. ✔️ Today, it preserves and exhibits over 80,000 textile qualities, along with thousands of colors and patterns - keeping the past alive to shape the future. #Manteco #ArchivioManteco #TextileHeritage #SustainableInnovation #MadeInItaly

🏷 Why do fashion brands choose our #MWool® textiles to lower their footprint while maintaining high quality? 🎨 One key reason is the way we create #Colors: without added dyes or chemicals. 💡 Thanks to our proprietary #Recype® color creation process, our artisans accurately weigh and mechanically mix various shades of MWool fibers to develop ‘recipes’ of colors. With over 80 years in wool recycling, we've perfected over 1,000 MWool® colors, each carefully crafted and stored for future use. By using this process, we save: 🔹 19,000 kg of dyestuff avoided every year* 🔹 11,000 kg of chemical auxiliaries avoided every year* 🔹 722,127 kg of CO2 emissions avoided every year* 🔹 10,641,878 MJ of energy saved every year* 🔹 122,707,000 liters of water saved every year* ♻️ Our textiles #colors are made differently. #SustainableFashion #RecycledWool #EcoFriendlyColors #CircularFashion *Data based on the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of MWool® Recycled Wool Fibers, carried out by Manteco® and Polytechnic of Turin. This study is peer-reviewed, published as a scientific publication, and certified through the EPD® Environmental Product Declaration certification.

🔗 #Sustainability is a mindset that shapes every aspect of our company. 📑 It is in every aspect and detail, from materials and processes to people, governance, and even our buildings. 🏢 We believe in preserving both #IndustrialHeritage and the environment that surrounds us. That’s why we never build on green sites. Instead, we restore and repurpose existing structures, maintaining their historical charm and architecture. #SustainableFashion #MadeInItaly #Manteco

💡 Another step to ensure future designers embrace #sustainable practices. 🤝 A new collaboration with #IEDRoma through our #MantecoAcademy project. ✂️ Students from the Master in Fashion Design had the unique opportunity to participate in an exclusive guest lecture, where they learned about the circularity of #Wool and the production of our #MWool® textiles.   #IEDofficial #SustainableFashion #CircularEconomy #Manteco IED Istituto Europeo di Design

🌍 We help fashion brands lessen their environmental impact, fiber by fiber. According to our latest #SustainabilityReport, thanks to the use of our #ReviWool® fibers, compared to using generic virgin wool, in a year we saved: 💨 96,785 tons of CO2-eq (equivalent to removing over 20,000 cars off the road for a year) 💧 17.45 hm3 of water (enough to fill over 7,000 Olympic-sized swimming pools) 🔋 129.68 TJ of energy (roughly the annual energy consumption of over 1,200 households) Not just certified and traceable, but also with reduced impacts - based on pioneering Life Cycle Assessments and peer-reviewed scientific publications. #Manteco #SustainableFashion #CircularEconomy #MadeInItaly
