SUSTAINABLE YARNS

Doing things well also means constantly monitoring materials and production cycles, demonstrating concern for the environment. All our products are certified and meet the most rigorous standards for both raw material quality and environmental protection.

We embrace sustainability in various ways, but what does producing sustainable yarns mean for RIFIL? The concept of sustainability has long been an integral part of RIFIL's ethical heritage and operational horizon; it means using fibers of natural origin, locally sourced, or obtained from recycled materials that meet the sustainability requirements requested by our customers. This means paying attention to the way natural resources are used, clear and controlled production processes, a transparent supply chain, and scrupulously adhering to regulations aimed at protecting human health and the environment.

The company has long set itself the goal of reducing its environmental impact below regulatory requirements.

Doing things
right.
Always. Choosing today for tomorrow

01

Use of natural raw materials

Animal and plant fibers are natural raw materials. These include wool, silk, linen, and hemp. We use blends of plant fibers to create a yarn that meets high standards, and we are very careful to offer RWS-certified sustainable wools.
02

Use of biodegradable raw materials

At the customer's request, we produce our yarns with biodegradable materials. These can be natural fibers or chemically produced biodegradable raw materials.
03

Use of chemical fibers from natural raw materials

Today, a wide variety of textile fibers are available, made from wood or corn. Many raw materials are also produced more sustainably, saving water and chemicals. That's why we also rely on fibers made from PLA, viscose, and lyocell, among others.
04

Use of recycled materials

In the field of thermoplastic fibers, recycling acrylic production waste or used acrylic fabrics to re-produce fibers like Regel™ has proven successful. This process reduces the environmental impact of producing new acrylic fiber, resulting in lower water and chemical consumption during production and a reduction in the use of virgin raw materials. Recycled acrylic yarn can be used in various sectors, such as furniture and apparel, and offers high performance features such as fade resistance and water repellency.
