Raytent on European Circular Economy Stakeholder Platform
The Raytent project attracts the attention of the European Union that decides to tell the Giovanardi experience on the European Circular Economy Stakeholder Platform. The good practice concerns the recycling of the acrylic fabric deriving from the awning manufacturing that to date did not find a reuse being disposed of in landfills.
In the solar protection industry, the manufacturing of awnings produces an average of 10% of discarded fabrics. These by-products do not have a real second use, but are disposed of in landfills in accordance with current legislation. Off-cuts routinely amount to the equivalent of about 70,000 awnings, comparable to the number of awnings installed in the region of Rome in one year.
Via its exclusive Raytent production line, Giovanardi is able to recycle those technical acrylic textiles to create high-quality yarns and fabrics. The process was made possible via Giovanardi's Research and Development department, together with a team of chemists highly specialised in textile recovery, tackling specific issues in recycling mass-dyed outdoor acrylic fibre.
