Real sustainability

almost zero water, dry coloration, long-lasting performance, and total recyclability.



Why sustainability in textiles is no longer optional

The fashion and textile sector is undergoing a profound transformation: European regulations, more aware consumers, and new ESG standards are redefining the market.
Respectlife was created precisely to respond to this evolution — safe, traceable, recyclable materials designed to reduce environmental impact —
throughout the entire life cycle.

Environmental Impact Comparison

Discover how Respectlife outperforms polyester and cotton in water consumption, CO2 emissions, and energy efficiency.
water consumption

01 · Water for 1 kg of fiber

Respectlife: 0.6 L

Polyester: 200 L

Cotton: 10,000 L

Respectlife uses up to 16,000 times less water than cotton.

dry dyeing

02 · Water for dyeing (1 kg)

Respectlife: 0 L (dry coloration)

Polyester: 25–60 L

Cotton: 150 L

100% reduction in dyeing water with RL.

reduced CO2 emissions

03 · CO2 emissions (GWP/kg)

Respectlife: 1.85 kg CO2

Polyester: 6.4 kg CO2

Cotton: 8.1 kg CO2

Up to 77% less CO2 compared to cotton.

lower energy use

04 · Washing energy (kWh/kg)

Respectlife: 0.3–0.6 kWh/kg (30°C)

Polyester: 1.2–1.8 kWh/kg (60°C)

Cotton: 1.8–2.5 kWh/kg (75°C)

Around –80% energy per industrial cycle.

Respectlife textile performance

Total Circularity

Every Respectlife WaL® garment

never becomes waste,
it transforms, regenerates,
and returns as raw material.

100% Monomaterial Recycling

What does it become after recycling? new textile fibers, containers and packaging, automotive components, regenerated pellets.

Energy Recovery (certified option)

When not destined for recycling, it can be used as a clean energy source, recognized by the U.S. EPA as more sustainable than fossil fuels.

Hydrogen Production from Waste

PP is one of the most efficient materials for advanced pyrolysis processes that generate hydrogen. EU-funded projects: €5.2 billion public + €7 billion private.

Nano Technology

Our impact, measured and certified

Our performance in health, water management, circularity, and climate has been analyzed and validated by Cariplo Factory, confirming our active contribution to the UN Global Goals.
SDG 3

Fabrics that reduce infections, antibiotics, and healthcare costs

Fewer infections means fewer antibiotics, less AMR, and shorter hospital stays, generating significant savings for hospitals and healthcare systems.
SDG 6

Zero water, zero chemicals: the dyeing process of the future

0.6 liters of water per kg of production, 0 L/kg for dyeing. No dye release: protecting water resources and ecosystems.
SDG 12

True circular economy: 100% recyclable, 200 life cycles

Eliminates textile waste, disposal costs, and dependence on virgin raw materials, enabling a circular and sustainable supply chain.
SDG 13

Reduced pollutant emissions and low-impact processes

Lower CO2 emissions. Less energy, fewer emissions, more circularity: a concrete contribution to decarbonizing the textile sector.
