FiloFlow & C.L.A.S.S: sustainability from A to Z

Filo and C.L.A.S.S. have always shared the commitment to a tangible sustainability of products and processes of the textile industry.

With this shared commitment, and a collaboration that has lasted for years in different forms, Filo and C.L.A.S.S. are making available to the companies that will join the 59th edition of the Yarn Show a new service dedicated to information and guidance in the field of sustainability




Within the FiloFlow Area, C.L.A.S.S. will curate the "Sustainability from A to Z" desk, designed to provide companies with an orientation about sustainability matter in textiles: from certifications to environmental impact and end-of-life measurements, the importance of ethics and the energy savings; from responsible innovation to new generation communication… without forgetting sustainability reports.

Paolo Monfermoso, responsible of Filo, states: "With C.L.A.S.S., we have started a closer collaboration based on the sharing of values that are essential for the textile industry. The "Sustainability from A to Z" service, available to all the companies at Filo – exhibitors and visitors -, is the result of a synergy between our different competencies, with a shared goal: sustainability. We are confident that the service will be of great help to textile companies looking for even greater sustainability in their products and processes".

Giusy Bettoni, CEO of C.L.A.S.S., adds: "The "Sustainability from A to Z" service we are proposing together with Filo wants to be a concrete help for companies in search of real sustainability. Making "greener" products through sustainable processes, besides being an ethical commitment, it can reveal itself as a winning tool to gain a real competitive advantage in the market. Above all, companies must communicate the authentic sustainability of their products: this is the tool to add value to a fashion capable of real responsible innovation and to fight against the "greenwashing" phenomena. That's why at C.L.A.S.S., together with Filo, we are making our expertise and experience available to companies".

The appointment for the 59th edition of Filo is on February 22nd and 23rd, 2023 at Allianz MiCo - Milan.
