Over the past few years, thanks to structural measures and investments such as the supply of electricity entirely from renewable sources, Cifra has significantly reduced its CO2 emissions and still forecasts a further and growing reduction. Cifra’s strong commitment towards a sustainable production process is guaranteed by STeP by OEKO-TEX certification. The strict standard aims to verify and assess ethics, protection and the health of both environment and workers as well as product safety in all areas of the company.
Thanks to Cifra’s Warp Knit Seamless technology, operating directly from the yarn to the final garment, manufacturing waste is reduced by 30% compared to traditional cut and sewn methods, while on-demand manufacturing plays a key role to reduce stock. Cifra’s knitting system also allows to rapidly shift to different shapes and patterns during the production process and customers can adjust order requests to sales in real-time.
As for the products, more than 30% of Cifra’s production currently comes from eco-sustainable, natural and recycled yarns and demand is further increasing. At the next Milano Unica trade show, Cifra will present an exclusive preview of an ‘Ecosustainable’ collection carrying the hallmark of sustainability. The collection includes garments made from recycled yarns such as Econyl, Renycle, Qnova, as well as Merino wool and Tencel.
