The Italian textile group has developed a new range of fabrics thanks to the support of the Israeli company NILIT, whose Sensil® BioCare has set a new standard of sustainability for the apparel industry.

Pontetorto, an absolute benchmark in the Italian textile industry since 1952, and NILIT, a worldwide leading company in sustainable premium nylon 6.6, are proud to present the first collection entirely made with Sensil® BioCare, an innovative nylon 6.6 fiber enhanced by a special technology that reduces microplastics waste buildup in oceans and landfills. Sensil® BioCare is the newest addition to the wide range of Sensil® premium nylon products designed in the pursuit of sustainability and environmental protection as well as to benefit the entire textile supply chain from polymer to finished garment. NILIT has created these products to support the textile and apparel industry and address the various environmental challenges they are specifically tackling, e.g., water consumption, impact on the ecosystem and use of recycled materials, as well as to respond to consumer demand for increasingly sustainable textile products.

“We are very proud that a long established company like Pontetorto has chosen Sensil® BioCare,” says Sagee Aran, Head of Global Marketing for NILIT. “Our common goal is to offer innovative solutions to protect the planet without giving up the comfort, performance and durability guaranteed by Sensil® branded products. Better and fairer textiles are possible and urgently needed.”

“This is a cutting-edge project in which we strongly believe,” underlines Elena Banci, Marketing and Communication Head at Pontetorto. “And it is in line with the philosophy of our company, which has always focused on environmental respect at any stage of its production cycle. The collection is going to be presented at Performance Days in December and we are confident that it will draw the attention of our customers, especially the most sensitive to environmental issues. This collection has a green soul but quite a modern and sophisticated appeal and the fabrics stand out for their long life, great softness and fine aesthetics.”
