2018 SUSTAINABILITY REPORT | RATTI GROUP
From discards to inspiration
To fuel sustainability projects and innovation from the perspective of the circular economy, in December Ratti began a partnership with Kapdaa – The Offcut Company, with a view to recovering fabric scraps and developing new creative projects. It was out of this concept that the partnership with Kapdaa was born.
Kapdaa is a company which is devoted to sustainability, and which partners with designers and manufacturers to minimise waste in the textiles field, using fabric scraps to create new design products.
The project made it possible to recover fabric scraps from the production phase as well as samples from the Ratti collections and transform these into elegant and coloured notebooks, which are on sale in the company shop.
Ratti is also a partner of Carmina Campus, whose mission “save waste from waste” focuses squarely
on the use of industrial materials commonly considered to be scraps as a source of inspiration and as
a secondary raw material,
and which in the hands of expert Italian craftsmen takes on new life as part of a design object.
having launched a study of projects aimed at improving performance.
With regard to waste production, the following tables report the quantity of the Group’s hazardous and non-hazardous waste by method of disposal.
Relating quantity of waste to metres of fabric produced reveals a reduction of 8.96% for hazardous waste, while non-hazardous waste remained essentially unchanged (+0.43%),
due in part to a number of extraordinary disposals carried out in 2018 in Ratti SpA.
In total, 70% of the Ratti Group’s hazardous waste and 68% of its non-hazardous waste is destined for material and energy recovery activities.
