Green labels are indeed the right way to sustainability
Get the best out of waste using recycled raw materials and grab nature’s gifts using its vegetal elemets

   

VIRIDIS®

Could an oil derivative become a fair vegan good? As a matter of fact, today it is so: this new creation is a PU material made of vegetal polyols, and was not existing, until now. Despite this apparently difficult origin and description - polymers from raw plant-related renewable materials - its performance is easy and brilliant: a vintage look, thanks to the presence of special waxes, gives it a natural pull-up effect and it can be hot printed as real leather.

VIRIDIS® ACTIVE

Viridis® active is the sustainable answer to the increasing demand for a good alternative to PVC and rubber. We have developed an additional quality of Viridis® with a look similar to the one of rubber labels, particularly indicated for  activewear and sportswear with their attention to colors and playfulness.

g_label®

Everybody knows graphite. Have you ever think to use it as a printing method, though? We have, and we did it first. g_label® is our latest offer for a sustainable product made up-cycling the wasted graphite powder, in collaboration with Perpetua® the pencil. The essential idea is to collect something that would otherwise be dismissed in landfills and convert it into another product to be used. We were looking for it and now we have it: one product, nearly endless possibilities.
We are ready to share it, are you ready to join it?

RECYCLED POLYESTER WOVEN LABELS

These products are woven with 100% recycled polyester yarns: warps and wefts. The recycled polyester comes from post consume plastic bottles. The collection and processing of post consume plastic bottles and their transformation in recycled fibre is made by a 100% Made in Italy production chain. The plastic is regenerated through a not chemical, but mechanical process.The dying of warps and wefts is eco friendly too, saving a big quantity of water and energy. The product is 100% Made in Italy and completely traceable

JACRUP

JacrUp is a fully sustainable material, obtained by 100% eco-sustainable process, to produce totally green labels.  JacrUp is made of Jacron (OEKO-TEX and FSC certified)  and Viscose (FSC certified).
The amazing feature is about the dyeing method. The process is actually 100% sustainable, it uses only flowers, husks, peels, plants and roots which are dried and infused, with no chemical additives. It’s easy and healthy for us and for the environment.

CHROME - FREE LEATHER

To answer the demand for eco-friendly label having a low impact on the environment we’ve been boosting the chrome-free leather, a combination of synthetic and vegetable tannins and minerals that can actually become a valid alternative to the usual one. The chrome-free leather mostly resembles the vegetable tanned but it’s not marked out by the typical issues of the vegetable based tanning: shrinkage, bleeding and its extended time process duration. Moreover, a significant difference is represented by its being washable.

ORGANIC COTTON

Non-organic cotton industry is a huge source of global environmental pollution. This is why we offer three types of organic cotton labels (GOTS certified). Organic cotton is a natural, renewable and biodegradable fibre, produced by avoiding the use of pesticides.
.  Woven labels: in organic cotton till 100%, both warp and weft. Usually weft is in polyester, but now it is possible to have a 100% organic cotton label. In this way, it is feasible to dye the label.
. RTD labels: organic cotton is a great idea also for ready to dye labels. Labels for extreme comfort and soft feeling.
. Heat-transfer labels: organic cotton is becoming relevant also for  heat-transfer labels.
A novelty in complete harmony with the environment.
