New textile backings made with sustainable non-woven fabrics (TNT) developed for the Fashion and Luxury industries

Industrie Chimiche Forestali S.p.A. has introduced to the market textile backings made with non-woven fabrics (TNT) produced from regenerated polyester fibers.

These are highly technical products resulting from in-depth studies on waste materials which, after being effectively treated, help increase the percentage of GRS (Global Recycle Standard) certified recycled components — reaching up to 60% of the finished fabrics. In addition to the textile component, the industrial process incorporates up to 80% recycled thermoplastic resins, further strengthening the company’s circular economy strategy.

These new products meet the highest performance and quality standards, as well as the principles of sustainable development pursued by ICF and increasingly demanded by manufacturers in the fashion, footwear, and leather goods sectors — particularly in the luxury segment.

Emiliano Bozzato, R&D Manager at Industrie Chimiche Forestali S.p.A., commented:
“Our ongoing research and development activities enable us to reinforce the principles of circularity. These fabrics, made from regenerated and GRS-certified recycled materials, are highly technical and represent an example of excellence in terms of quality and adherence to the sustainability principles that the fashion market — especially the luxury segment — requires.”
