Officina+39 celebrates multiple partnerships
19/10/2021
The company said it requires less manpower and lowers the rejection rate compared with manual scraping.
Officina+39 and Spanish mill Tejidos Royo joined forces to create a denim line called the Sixth Sense that drastically reduces water consumption, using Officina+39’s Aqualess Mission. This uses Remover BC, Aqualess Aged and Oz-One Powder. Tejidos Royo combined this with low-impact yarns and its foam-dyeing technology Dry Indigo.
Officina+39 also presented CircularKromia, a tie-up with Italian company Atelier Riforma. The start-up collects discarded clothing and gives them a new life. Garments that were not able to be used again were ground down to create Officina+39’s Recycrom dyes.
The chemicals group also celebrated the Circle Book 2, a partnership between 10 companies including Lenzing and Meidea, at an industry dinner at its headquarters in Biella. As well as touring the R&D labs, guests – including the Inside Denim team - were able to see the capsule collection created as a result of the Circle Book 2, called Culture.In.
Lucia Rosin, founder of Italy-based textiles consultancy Meidea, told us that there had been a very positive reaction to the collection, with some companies asking how they could be involved in any subsequent projects.
