Bemberg has developed new innovations with sustainable fibre. The lifespan of Bemberg’s regenerated cellulose fibre, Cupro, derived from cotton is fully circular, from source to manufacturing. Bemberg yarns are entirely biodegradable and ecotoxicity-free. Fabrics made from the yarn are used for presentation flags and for lining high quality suits and coats.
In Bemberg’s production the whole sustainable closed-loop process is supported by the LCA (Life Cycle Assessment) study, signed by ICEA (Istituto per la Certificazione Etica e Ambientale) and validated by president of Ecoinnovazione Paolo Masoni ex research director of ENEA (Ente per le Nuove tecnologie, l’Energia e l’Ambiente). While recyclability is granted by the Global Recycle Standard - GRS certification by the renowned Textile Exchange, at the end of their life circle the yarns break down into the environment leaving no trace in terms of toxic substances as attested by the Innovhub-SSI report, according to Asahi Kasei.Bemberg has developed new innovations with sustainable fibre.

A special focus deserves Velutine Evo, the new fibrillation finishing technology for Bemberg fabrics only that guarantees another level of sustainable benefits without sacrificing the Bemberg amazing and unique touch. As part of the company’s continuous innovation, Velutine Evo brings better environmental, energy, and water profiles for the benefit of Bemberg partners in the manufacture of their ranges.
The sustainable achievements of the new finishing technology have been measured by LCA study by ICEA and proved to guarantee environmental benefits such as -16.5 per cent of greenhouses gas emissions and -21 per cent of overall consumption of energy resources. On top of that Velutine Evo means also -20.5 per cent of electricity savings, -15.9 per cent of steam production and -19.5 per cent of water consumption.
The first Bemberg partner to present a commercial collection enriched by Velutine Evo is the Portuguese Matias & Araújo. With an innovative spirit, dynamism and a determined entrepreneurial spirit, the company is a leading knitwear producer for the textile industry. Bemberg also collaborated also with the premium brand Caalo that is making its mark in the outerwear market with its sustainably produced functional-luxury proposal. For SS20, Caalo uses Bemberg lining because of the sustainability properties and its unique colour.
Caalo uses as much eco-friendly and sustainable materials as possible without compromising on design or quality. This Bemberg lining was a perfect fit. This versatile blazer features a removable hood, hidden welt pockets, button closure, and removable cargo pockets.
