A sustainable vest for Maratona dles Dolomites cyclists

Carvico and RadiciGroup have joined competencies while respecting the environment
Repetable® was used to create the fabric for the gilets, an innovative polyester yarn obtained through a post-consumer recycling process of plastic bottles and produced by RadiciGroup. Compared to virgin polyester, Repetable® reduces CO2 emissions (-45%) and reduces water (-90%) and energy (-60%) consumption, while ensuring high technical performance. To package the 10,000 vests for the participants of the Maratona dles Dolomites-Enel, more than 102,000 bottles were recovered, avoiding the emission of 6,516 kg of CO2 into the atmosphere.
“We have had a long-term partnership with Carvico – claimed Angelo Radici, President of the RadiciGroup – aimed at launching on the market various high performance solutions which are also eco-sustainable and eco-friendly. We have teamed up with several strategic partners to expand our range of products made of recycled products coming from a local, transparent and traceable supply chain, giving a concrete evidence of the fact that circular economy and sustainability are actually feasible”.
