Marchi & Fildi is an international spinning Group with the brands Marchi & Fildi and Filidea. The production of yarns is wide and meant for several end uses: from hosiery, weaving, circular knitting to furnishing and technical yarns for protective wear and automotive.
During the last 20 years, the company has developed ECOTEC®, a trademark technology that allows the creation of new upcycled yarns using pre-consumer waste from knitting and weaving companies, used clothes and plastic bottles. ECOTEC® has been a pioneer example of circular economy. Its products guarantee the highest standards combined with the added value of sustainability. The process is totally certified and traceable.
ECOTEC® process
All the yarns produced through the ECOTEC® process developed by Marchi & Fildi – Filidea Group reduce the impact on the environment in a meaningful and quantifiable way:
• Energy savings up to 46,9%
• Reduction on greenhouse effect up to 46,6%
• Water consumption throughout the complete process up to 61,6%
These records are based on the LCA Study (Life Cycle Assessment) made in 2020 by ICEA comparing our ECOTEC® item to a similar product made with virgin materials.
