MU SUSTAINABLE CREATIVITY PROJECT FALL/WINTER 2024/25

Milano Unica’s Sustainable Creativity project, which kicked off with the 37th edition of this textile trade fair, aims to highlight the current situation within the industry, whereby creativity and sustainability, rather than competing, are working together in perfect unison.

The objective of this project is to present samples with characteristics coherent with the core values of sustainability which provide a better guide for buyers: Climate Action, Chemical Safety, Biodiversity Conservation, Circular Economy and Social Justice.

Three of Sitip’s products have been selected for this current edition. The Technical Commission was responsible for verifying that the sustainability requirements are fully met, and the Style Commission ensured that the materials used are in line with the chosen themes.
