ECOTECH: a perfect balance between beauty and environmental responsibility

Produced (mainly) in Italy, ECOTECH is composed of 69% bio-based raw materials of renewable (plant) origin and 31% recycled cotton, offering a solid and certified alternative to animal-derived materials. The result of two years of research and development, the material inherits the skills and craftsmanship of traditional tanning, guaranteeing an extraordinary softness to the touch, as well as excellent strength and durability properties.

Certifications and reduction of environmental impact

ECOTECH is USDA BioPreferred certified, attesting to its natural composition and low-impact production process. According to LCA (Life Cycle Assessment) studies, the material boasts a reduction in CO₂ emissions of more than 90% compared to conventional solutions with the same intended use, generating (only 6.13 kg of CO₂ per unit produced) low CO2 emissions.§
Thanks to its innovative sustainable supply chain, ECOTECH actively contributes to:

• Reducing CO₂ emissions
• Preventing deforestation and loss of biodiversity
• Limiting the risk of water shortages
• Eliminating dependence on petroleum and fossil products
• Avoiding the impacts of intensive farming and toxic substances from traditional tanning

Cutting-edge technology and production processes

Entirely produced in Italy, ECOTECH integrates efficient and sustainable production processes with the help of plants for the self-production of electricity and rigorous control of the entire processing cycle.
Its key features include:

• Animal-free raw materials, with a 69% composition of renewable (plant) origin
• High efficiency in the recovery of chemicals used in the manufacturing process
• Completely treated and purified wastewater
