COMMITMENTS AND ACHIEVEMENTS

Texmoda makes use of third-party processes that respect the principles of sustainability, such as low environmental impact finishing, which acts on energy saving through: the recycling of waste water, LED lighting and the exclusive use of hazardous chemicals free chemicals. In fact, the Prato district uses an innovative purification system that treats the recycling of water through the use of an industrial aqueduct. Texmoda has estimated a water reuse capacity of about 30% required for wet processes and plans to increase this percentage in the coming years.

We recognize the importance of eliminating dangerous substances from our production cycle, which is why in March 2016 we signed the Detox commitment, promoted by Greenpeace. This important improvement process has allowed us to start our constant commitment to respecting the environment and the health of workers and consumers through quality products and processes.
We share this duty with a group of companies in the Prato textile district, with the coordination of Confindustria Toscana Nord which deals with the management of environmental sustainability in companies in the fashion system supply chain. It was born as a reaction to a challenge launched by Greenpeace: to eliminate substances that are toxic to humans and pollutants for the environment from clothing.
Thanks to analyses, studies and research, it is possible to demonstrate that an eco-sustainable fashion is possible, as evidenced by the survey on textile dyes, made public on the occasion of the official presentation of the CID, in October 2016.
It is much more productive to work together with companies with the same objectives, relying on the coordination of activities by a structure capable of providing constant technical-scientific support.
The results have been visible in the elimination of 8 groups of dangerous chemical substances from our industrial processes, to reach the ambitious goal of eliminating 11 groups of harmful substances in 2020.
So the next objectives of the CID are to investigate the aspects of manufacturing production still to be examined to understand where and how to intervene to safeguard our health and the future of the environment.
