Sustainable Materials

Sustainability is at the core of everything we do, and we are committed to using the most sustainable materials possible in all of our businesses. Our products are made from a variety of recycled and eco-friendly materials, including organic cottons, recycled polyester, and FSC-certified paper.

When we say that we are pioneers in the global circular economy, we mean it. For the last forty years, Mainetti has been perfecting a circular business model for our largest business unit that we call Hangerloop. Recently we introduced Mainetti Polyloop, our flexible packaging reuse/recycling solution that addresses the challenge of single use plastics for apparel transit films. As Members of the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, we work with innovators from many of the world’s leading companies to help the global economy to evolve from a linear model to a circular model for plastics.
