Single-Fiber Yarns for a More Sustainable Fabric Industry

Our choice for a greener future: the sustainable choice of fabrics composed of single-fiber yarns.

Sustainability has become a fundamental priority in the fashion and fabric world, which is why Lanificio Giannetti Piero has made it the guiding factor in the research of fabrics to propose to its worldwide clients.

The use of single-fiber yarns is for us a crucial aspect toward more ecological practices: they simplify the recycling process and contribute to reducing the environmental impact of the fabric industry.

Single-fiber yarns, in fact, are much easier to recycle than mixed yarns. When a fabric is made with several fibers (intimate mixture), the separation process during recycling becomes complex and expensive; it requires advanced and energy-consuming technologies, which discourage those committed to recycling.

With single-fiber yarns, the recycling process can be quicker and more efficient. Recycling companies can handle large quantities of homogeneous material without facing the challenge of fiber separation. This leads to an increase in the amount of recycled fabrics and, consequently, to a reduction in textile waste.

Since recycling is more efficient, fewer resources are wasted, and less energy is required for the process. Additionally, the production of new single-fiber yarns can be achieved using recycled materials, contributing to closing the life cycle of textile products

Adopting single-fiber yarns is a strategic choice for the textile sector that Lanificio Giannetti Piero has been pursuing for many years. This not only facilitates recycling but also promotes more sustainable fashion. Choosing simpler and more homogeneous materials is not just a matter of practicality but represents an important step toward a greener and more responsible future. Investing in single-fiber yarns means investing in a world where fashion and sustainability can coexist harmoniously.

This is why, through our production and offerings, we aim to sensitize and inform designers and consumers about the importance of single-fiber yarns.

Obviously, this does not distract us from investing in technologies that support the recycling of mixed yarns. We aim to establish alliances between producers, retailers, and recycling companies to promote sustainable practices in the textile sector.
