RadiciGroup: solid investments in sustainability

RadiciGroup: solid investments in sustainability

News 13.01.2020

RadiciGroup is starting off the new year 2020 under the banner of sustainability: the market launch of RenycleTM, a range of yarns obtained from recycled nylon, and the acquisition of Zeta Polimeri, an Italian company with thirty years’ experience in the recovery of synthetic fibre and thermoplastics. Both concrete actions fall within the Italian Group’s strategy aimed at environmental protection and meeting the requests of an increasingly demanding market.

At Domotex 2020, RadiciGroup is exhibiting a number of innovative solutions for the recovered fibres sector targeted at fashion fabrics, furnishings and automotive applications. These new products are the result of the Group’s vertically integrated nylon production and the synergies among its various business areas, from chemicals to engineering polymers and synthetic yarns.

RenycleTM reduces the need for new raw materials of fossil origin, thus decreasing the overall environmental impact, while providing same the high-level technical characteristics the market is accustomed to. Moreover, it is 100% recyclable at the end of its life. 

The first preliminary measurements have shown that this new range of products features environmental performance that compares extremely favourably to virgin PA6 polymer. “RenycleTM allows for energy saving of over 87% and water saving of over 90%,” explained Nicola Agnoli, Manager of the RadiciGroup Fibres Business Area, “all the while maintaining the same quality performance. Moreover, CO2 emissions are reduced by almost 90%.”

The acquisition of Zeta Polimeri, an Italian company 100% focused on pre- and post-consumer material recovery, fits very well into the RadiciGroup sustainable innovation plan.

“We have collaborated with Zeta Polimeri for many years,” Angelo Radici added, “and we have come to appreciate their rigorous and competent approach to the selection and processing of materials. By combining their know-how with the synergies among our business areas, we can team up for the optimal reuse of process scraps and offer our customers high performance, sustainable products.”

Domenico Zulato, managing director of Zeta Polimeri, also expressed great satisfaction: “In RadiciGroup, we have found a partner that is both reliable and capable of ensuring the continuity of our business and, like us, equally concerned with environmental protection issues, particularly recycling and green energy, as well as product quality. Working together,
we will be able to offer our services as a supplier of excellent raw materials made from recycled nylon scraps, not only to the polymer market but also to the textile industry.”
