Radici Yarn certified to ISO 50001 Energy Management Systems

Over 400 employees work hard every day to improve the environmental performance of Radici Yarn’s site. Through teamwork and continuous improvement in energy efficiency, Radici Yarn has obtained ISO 50001 Energy Management Systems certification, which attests to the organization’s commitment to contain and progressively reduce energy consumption.

Radici Yarn, one of the companies in the RadiciGroup Advanced Textile Solutions Business Area, is engaged in the production and sale of polyamide 6 polymer, PA6 and PA66 continuous filament and staple yarn, and other synthetic fibres, including products made of recycled or bio-based materials.

All the processes - polymerization and spinning (Villa d'Ogna plant), as well as warping and draw-warping (Ardesio plant) - are run under constant monitoring with the goal of achieving maximum energy efficiency and lower consumption. Both sites are powered by two hydroelectric power plants owned by Geogreen, a RadiciGroup partner and energy supplier. The share of energy consumption from renewable sources and reduced environmental impact (natural gas) sources  is constantly increasing.

The share of energy consumption from renewable sources and reduced environmental impact (natural gas) sources  is constantly increasing.

The energy issue has always been a priority for Radici Yarn, whose products serve numerous sectors, including automotive, clothing and furnishings.

"Already at the beginning of the 1990s, Radici Yarn started investing in cogeneration, the simultaneous production of electricity and steam,” pointed out Laura Ravasio, energy manager of Radici Yarn SpA. “We have recently started up an advanced trigeneration plant – a highly efficient system that produces not only electricity and steam, but also chilled water for our production processes. One of the first results recorded in 2021 was a 30% reduction in water consumption. Thus, ISO 50001 certification seemed like the next logical step to take in formalizing a long-term approach to energy.”

The ISO 50001 certification, which is voluntary and valid for a period of three years, was added to the ISO 14001 Environmental and ISO 9001 Quality Management system certifications previously achieved by Radici Yarn.

imm cologne: Re-Start auf 2023 verschoben

Die imm cologne wird nicht zum geplanten Termin im Januar 2022 in Köln durchgeführt. Diese Entscheidung hat die Geschäftsführung der Koelnmesse in enger Abstimmung mit dem Verband der Deutschen Möbelindustrie (VDM) und im Einvernehmen mit weiteren namhaften Branchenvertretern auf internationaler Ebene getroffen. „Dieser Schritt beschränkt sich ausdrücklich auf die imm cologne und ihre spezifischen Anforderungen an den Messebetrieb. Grundsätzlich halten wir unverändert an der Durchführung unserer Frühjahrsveranstaltungen 2022 fest. Die politischen Vorgaben erlauben dies, und nach dem hervorragenden und sicheren Ablauf der zurückliegenden Herbstmessen muss das unser Auftrag im Sinne der beteiligten Branchen bleiben“, sagt Geschäftsführer Oliver Frese.

Die imm cologne wird nicht zum geplanten Termin im Januar 2022 in Köln durchgeführt. Diese Entscheidung hat die Geschäftsführung der Koelnmesse in enger Abstimmung mit dem Verband der Deutschen Möbelindustrie (VDM) und im Einvernehmen mit weiteren namhaften Branchenvertretern auf internationaler Ebene getroffen. „Dieser Schritt beschränkt sich ausdrücklich auf die imm cologne und ihre spezifischen Anforderungen an den Messebetrieb. Grundsätzlich halten wir unverändert an der Durchführung unserer Frühjahrsveranstaltungen 2022 fest. Die politischen Vorgaben erlauben dies, und nach dem hervorragenden und sicheren Ablauf der zurückliegenden Herbstmessen muss das unser Auftrag im Sinne der beteiligten Branchen bleiben“, sagt Geschäftsführer Oliver Frese.

So sieht der VDM als ideeller Mitträger der Veranstaltung vor dem Hintergrund der aktuellen Pandemie-Lage den wirtschaftlichen Erfolg der Veranstaltung und damit den erfolgreichen Re-Start der imm cologne im Januar als extrem gefährdet an. „Nach Rücksprache mit zahlreichen Ausstellern, Branchenvertretern und Handelspartnern kommt für die deutschen Aussteller bzw. Aussteller aus dem deutschsprachigen Raum eine Beteiligung entweder nicht in Frage oder ist mit erheblichen Zweifeln versehen“, so Jan Kurth, Hauptgeschäftsführer des VDM.  Ein ähnliches Feedback gab es auch aus vielen europäischen Ländern.

„Die aktuellen besonderen Rahmenbedingungen in der Interior-Design-Branche machen die Umsetzbarkeit der imm cologne so gut wie unmöglich“, so Oliver Frese. „Wir haben uns diese für uns sehr bittere Entscheidung nicht leicht gemacht, betrachten es aber als unsere Pflicht, diesen Schritt in enger Abstimmung mit der Industrie jetzt zu gehen. Im Interesse unserer Aussteller schaffen wir hiermit Klarheit und Planungssicherheit. Aus unserer gemeinsamen Sicht ist eine imm cologne mit ihrem Anspruch als Leitmesse für die Interior Design Branche in der derzeitigen Situation nicht realisierbar“, so der Geschäftsführer weiter. „Wir arbeiten zurzeit aktiv an Handlungsoptionen, den Ausstellern der imm cologne auch in 2022 noch eine attraktive Messepräsenz auf internationalem Niveau anzubieten. Hier stellen sowohl die spoga+gafa als auch die ORGATEC im Interior-Design-Portfolio der Koelnmesse hervorragende Alternativen dar“.

Die Absage ist auf die imm cologne beschränkt und gilt ausdrücklich nicht für die weiteren im Frühjahr 2022 geplanten B2B-Veranstaltungen in Köln. Im Herbst haben unter anderem die Kölner Kunstmessen und die Ernährungsmesse Anuga unter Beweis gestellt, dass Messen auch auf internationalem Niveau wieder möglich und für alle sicher durchzuführen sind. Aktuell wird deutlich, wie unterschiedlich einzelne Branchen auf die aktuelle Situation reagieren. „Wir stellen fest, dass es aufgrund der anhaltenden pandemischen Lage in Deutschland eine heterogene Einschätzung bei den ausstellenden Unternehmen gibt“, so Oliver Frese, Geschäftsführer der Koelnmesse. Die Beurteilungen seien branchenspezifisch unterschiedlich stark ausgeprägt, „mal mit größerer Auswirkung auf die jeweilige Messe und manchmal kaum spürbar“, so der Geschäftsführer weiter. „Im Sinne eines vertrauensvollen Miteinanders sind wir selbstverständlich im engen Austausch mit unseren Branchen und Kunden, um eben branchenspezifische Entscheidungen treffen zu können,“ so Frese.

Für sichere Abläufe steht das Hygiene- und Sicherheitskonzept der Koelnmesse, das weiterhin absolut im Einklang mit den Beschlüssen der Ministerpräsidentenkonferenz und der Coronaschutzverordnung NRW steht.

Noch mit Ende der kostenfreien Stornierungsmöglichkeit Mitte Oktober zeichnete sich für die imm cologne insgesamt ein positives Bild ab: Mit 600 Ausstellern aus über 50 Ländern wäre die Veranstaltung auch in dieser zahlenmäßig kleineren Form immer noch das größte und relevanteste Forum der Interior-Design-Branche im umsatzstärksten Möbelmarkt in Europa gewesen.

Der fachliche Austausch und das Networking zwischen international agierenden Unternehmen und hochqualifiziertem Fachbesuch bilden auf jeder imm cologne die Grundlage für zukunftsorientierte Innovationen und die Entwicklung neuer Geschäftsmodelle. Damit sorgt die imm cologne für die wichtigen Businessimpulse in der Branche. Deshalb wird die Koelnmesse gemeinsam mit dem VDM und der ausstellenden Industrie alles daransetzen, eine schlagkräftige und innovative imm cologne 2023 auf die Beine zu stellen.

Bemberg™ by Asahi Kasei at Filo to unveil its smart DNA story that meet contemporary consumer needs

  • FILO, 29th-30th September 2021, booth C5

Bemberg™ by Asahi Kasei has been invited to showcase at Filo fair, the international exhibition of orthogonal weaving yarns for clothing and furnishings, circular knitwear and technical textiles, in a new special area, a dedicated open space reserved to sustainable fibers that will allow visitors to discover all their production cycle and performances, in full relax and transparency.

Bemberg™, an exceptional fiber made from the smart-tech transformation of cotton linters pre-consumer materials and converted through a traceable and transparent closed loop process, will brings to Filo its history, experience, know-how and market partnerships to prove its versatility and design-driven look and touch Last but not least we are talking about a true circular economy-oriented ingredient, with certified sustainable performance: Bemberg™ is biodegradable and compostable material as verified by the INNOVHUB 3rd party test and it has GRS (Global Reycled Standard) certification from Textile Exchange proving recycling authenticity.

Bemberg™ by Asahi Kasei has been invited to showcase at Filo fair, the international exhibition of orthogonal weaving yarns for clothing and furnishings, circular knitwear and technical textiles, in a new special area, a dedicated open space reserved to sustainable fibers that will allow visitors to discover all their production cycle and performances, in full relax and transparency.

Bemberg™, an exceptional fiber made from the smart-tech transformation of cotton linters pre-consumer materials and converted through a traceable and transparent closed loop process, will brings to Filo its history, experience, know-how and market partnerships to prove its versatility and design-driven look and touch Last but not least we are talking about a true circular economy-oriented ingredient, with certified sustainable performance: Bemberg™ is biodegradable and compostable material as verified by the INNOVHUB 3rd party test and it has GRS (Global Reycled Standard) certification from Textile Exchange proving recycling authenticity.

Bemberg™ application history starts with high-quality suit lining, but today we can find it in many other applications such as fashion couture, outerwear, innerwear, bedding, and sportswear where its amazing unique touch and quality is offering a distinctive performance.

And to prove all of this, Bemberg™ will be at Filo showing some selected fabric innovation, and three responsible-driven designers representing different and complementary part of contemporary consumer wardrobe: ZEROBARRACENTO, Maurizio Miri and WAXEWUL - who have all chosen Bemberg™ fiber to create special collections. Three different ways to see and represent how sustainability and style – even if completely different ones – together can be highly successful, performing and interesting to the new consumer.

ZEROBARRACENTO, a gender-neutral emerging outerwear brand focusing on zero-waste product development, selects Bemberg™ for two fundamental reasons: firstly, from a stylistic point of view for its extreme versatility: in the various collections we have adopted it to create Kimonos, padded jackets, wrap dresses as well as for the interiors of our garments, which are intended to be soft embraces for total physical and mental comfort. The second but no less important reason is that this fibre has circular values in line with their zero-waste commitment.

The concept of the brand "Maurizio Miri" has a strong personality and a clear intent: to create a product that stimulates the wearer towards beauty. A garment should not simply be worn, but it has also to create a perfect symbiosis with the person wearing it and generate an exchange of positive energies. The purpose is to make the individual feel in perfect harmony with their own image. With this aim in mind, the designer selects extremely precious Bemberg™ linings for their sophisticated tailor jackets. 

Finally, WAXEWUL, a brand of sartorial clothing and artisan accessories with an urban-afro soul that has environmental and social sustainability as its basic ethics. WAXEWUL will bring to Filo its brand-new product, the J_Hood Bag: a doubleface jacket with a comfortably removable hood that can be transformed into a finely hidden doubleface bag. An exclusive, innovative and sustainable garment with minimal impact on the environment made of BemBAZIN™ - a new generation of bazin created, patented and produced by Brunello which is composed by the high-tech and responsible fibers of Bemberg™ - on one side and of wax on the other, traceable and certified, guaranteeing a reduction in waste (two jackets in one) and a long-life cycle.

As the leading home textile trade fair in Asia, participants can always expect to see the latest items and discover the forthcoming market direction. To fulfil this, more than 1,000 suppliers from China and across the world will showcase a wide variety of products covering the whole spectrum of home furnishing, while the trend forecast, which is introduced during the show, provides both exhibitors and buyers with insight and guidance to stay ahead of the market.

This year, the show works together with the experienced international forecasting firm the NellyRodiTM Agency to form a trend committee consisting of different fields of expertise in order to gain the latest comprehension of international lifestyle forecasts. They have picked ‘FUTURE’ as the keyword of the season and three themes have been developed to illustrate this keyword.

  • Caring Future: Now greener, more moral and socially oriented, creation draws from alternative imaginations to protect natural and cultural resources. It pulls inspiration from new eco-gestures and good altruist sense with a new credo – take care of nature and man
  • Crazy Future: It plays on whimsical surrealism and petulance, the master of light-hearted insouciance. It plants a seed of madness in creation. Gaiety and fantasy amuse rational souls and titillate a taste for risk
  • Emo Future: The need to console our cherished earth revives the emotion its immemorial beauty inspires. New nostalgia for the origin of things reconnects us to the essential. Neo-mysticism consecrates the elements and celebrates spiritual, benevolent nature. It inspires the perpetuation of the Traditions and rituals our ancestors practiced, in all their wisdom and humanism, to glorify nature 

These three themes will be demonstrated and discussed throughout the four-day fair in a series of events, while exhibitors’ products that resonate with the themes will be displayed in the Trend Area. Trend Forum tours will also take place, allowing show attendants to learn and discuss with designers and trend experts about the lifestyle trends.

Committee members with distinct specialties
The committee has contributed their expertise on retail experience, contract markets and new technologies, together with the sociological insights from an international consumer study in developing the themes. The following is an overview of the committee members.

  • Mr Vincent Grégoire (France): Creative Director of NellyRodiTM Agency. Studied both interior and industrial design at the École Camondo in Paris, has been the artistic director and designer of exclusive products for the decorator Agnès Comar
  • Mr Sun Yun (China): Partner and Design Director of Hangzhou Interior Architecture Design, founder of fashion brand HYSSOP Cornerstone
  • Mrs Béatrice Brandt (France): Graduated from the Aix-en-Provence Graduate School of Management in Management Sciences with a major in marketing, 20 years of experience in marketing and innovation, now works as the CEO at Le Jacquard Français
  • Mrs Hélène Pasteur (France): Purchasing Manager of Homeware/Leisure, Les Galeries Lafayette/BHV. Graduated from business school, entered Galeries Lafayette’s buying office in 1986 for the beauty, children’s wear, menswear, and accessory markets, managed the project that transformed BHV into BHV MARAIS from 2011 to 2014, now returns to the homeware department
