Roboze supports pielleitalia in the recycling of polyamide for reuse in 3D printing processes
Recycled polyamide: a new circular economy model for 3D printing
Pielleitalia, an innovative company that has been operating in the sustainable textile industry for more than 40 years, has entered into a partnership with Roboze for the recycling of polyamide used in post-consumer clothing (uniforms and merchandising) and the transformation of this into a new technical filament for 3D printing.
With its strategic consultancy, pielleitalia assists large companies and multinational corporations for which textile industry is not the main activity and which consequently need careful advice for the production of clothing. The goal is to follow models of sustainability and circular economy, capable of reducing their environmental impact.
The uniqueness of pielleitalia is its ability to build intersectoral projects involving partners with different skills, with the common goal of developing innovative technologies that have a positive impact on an environmental, social and governance level. We recognized Roboze as the ideal partner to pursue our idea of recovering polyamide clothing and accessories to transform it into technical filament for 3D printing. pielleitalia and Roboze share a propensity for innovative research and a great attention to corporate sustainability, and this makes us strongly synergistic partners.
Cesare Pezzini, Marketing Manager of pielleitalia.
Besides, these are the words of our Francesco Pantaleone, Roboze's VP of Business Development:
Fostering a more sustainable future is a key priority for Roboze. We are determined to do so and we are very open to making our know-how available to projects where we see the opportunity to deeply impact the current obsolete production and supply chain management models. Collaborations such as the one with pielleitalia open up new possibilities, giving us the opportunity to increase the scope of our efforts.
