A textile company from Alicante offers a solution that is both sustainable and universal, as well as beneficial to the environment and the economy.
During the recent Futurmoda event held at the Alicante fair, Poveda Textil, together with Palmielx, demonstrated an innovative fabric.
This fabric, obtained from the remnants of the pruning of palm trees in Alicante, marks a significant step towards sustainability in fashion, reported EuroWeekly.
"The fabrics presented at Futurmoda, which took place at the Alicante fair, have a natural look and the same properties as all other fabrics," said Alberto Andreu, commercial director of Poveda Textil.
The partnership with Palmielx is redefining the future of fashion. By turning palm tree waste into new, biodegradable tissue, they fight climate change.
They use state-of-the-art bonding technologies and thermomechanical processes to produce palm-based material. This innovative approach not only revives the waste, but also introduces a fabric that stands the test of bending, rubbing and wear.
This unique fabric not only resembles traditional textile materials in appearance. It boasts the same durability, being available in a variety of colors, finishes and designs.
"Our commitment to sustainability and the environment is firm and we strive every day to offer the best eco-friendly fabrics," says Andreu.
The certificate issued by the INESCOP Center for Innovation and Technology is proof of their commitment to environmental innovation. Poveda Textil's entry into the field of palm coatings represents a bold step towards mimicking the properties of polymers, which shows huge potential in the footwear and textile industries.
After all, this collaboration between Poveda Textil and Palmielx means more than an innovative fabric. It represents a significant reduction in carbon dioxide emissions by avoiding the burning of palm waste.
Aiming to process 3,000 tonnes of palm residues in Alicante per year, this project represents a sustainable solution to an environmental, social and economic problem.
"With this new collection, we are taking another step forward in revaluing palm residues as a raw material and contributing to the circular economy and zero waste," stressed Andreu, demonstrating his commitment to reduce over 1.5 million kilograms of carbon dioxide emissions.
This initiative does not just revolutionize fabric production, but sets a precedent for sustainable practices in various industries./BGNES
