Environmental sustainability

Ratti’s environmental strategy aims to reduce its environmental impact and implement a circular business project.

Product and process

Ratti has developed an offer of sustainable and circular products and materials. It is committed to eliminating harmful substances, seeks to reduce its consumption of materials, energy and water and pursues better waste management.

Ratti is signatory of ZDHC (Zero Discharge of Hazardous Chemicals) program to eliminate harmful substances and participates in the BCI (Better Cotton Initiative) for the development of environmentally and socially sustainable practices in cotton cultivation.

Ratti currently presents a wide sustainable offer, consisting of organic, recycled and socially accountable products which have been added to the Tessuteca and to all the Group’s collections.

Circular economy

The Group has made large investments in projects aimed at promoting a circular economy: this essential pillar of innovation makes it possible to face future challenges and demonstrates commitment to a sustainable economic model.

Circular textiles are products which are derived from the reuse and recycling of textile materials, i.e. repair and upcycling services. In this regard, Ratti has a developed a line called “PHORIA”.

Phoria Fibers regards the creation of a lining textile (padding) based on the reuse and recycling of silk, which has extraordinary qualities which make it a versatile material: it is a natural fibre, resistant and light, with notable thermal, breathability and hygroscopic properties.

Phoria Hydro regards the reconditioning of used garments in order to revamp their water-repellent function. With use over time, many garments become less waterproof. However, using an eco-friendly industrial process, Phoria Hydro plans to revamp the water-repellent function of such garments, allowing them to be reused and their technical performance to return to its former level.

Phoria Print regards the reassessment of unsold garments and leftover stock. An initiative proposed by Ratti to solve the problem of excess warehouse stock, gave value back to the garments though the creativity of manual printing. The rediscovery of the ancient a planche technique, together with other applications, has rendered each garment unique and unrepeatable, giving space to a limited and personalised series.

SECOND LIFE FIBERS SRL A SOCIO UNICO

Ratti is also dedicated to managing the recovery of non-hazardous textile waste.
In 2020, it established “Second Life Fibers Srl a socio unico”, a company dedicated to this important task.
