A Significant Step Toward Sustainable Innovation

The GRECALE BIOPASS project represents a significant step toward sustainable innovation in the textile sector, with the goal of developing new high-performance materials capable of delivering advanced functionality without compromising the environment. This ambitious initiative involves several organizations from the Lombardy region, with a special focus on creating innovative, ecosystem-friendly solutions that can be concretely applied in the fashion and technical textile industries.

Academia and Industry Join Forces

To achieve its ambitious objectives, GRECALE BIOPASS brings together diverse expertise, connecting the academic world, with the participation of the Universities of Milan and Bergamo, and the business world, involving major companies such as Radici Yarn and small and medium-sized enterprises including:

  • Cittadini S.p.A.
  • Fellicolor S.p.A.
  • F.T.R. Forniture Tessili Riunite S.R.L.
  • Framis Italia S.P.A.

The project is coordinated by G.P.S. Tech, a long-standing partner of Framis, with the support of Impresa Lab S.R.L.

Bio-Based Thermoelastomers

As a beneficiary, Framis Italia actively contributes to the development and testing of these innovative materials, integrating its expertise in the research and production of high-quality textile components and accessories. Through this collaboration, Framis strengthens its commitment to sustainable practices and ecological transition, aligning with the best European standards for a greener future. In particular, Framis coordinates the first strategic objective of the project, dedicated to the development of bio-based thermoelastomers.

GRECALE BIOPASS represents not only a technological opportunity but also a chance to consolidate Framis Italia’s position as a key player in the evolution of the Italian textile supply chain, blending creativity, innovation, and environmental responsibility.

For Framis, participating in projects such as GRECALE BIOPASS means continuously working to offer cutting-edge solutions that address global sustainability challenges, while maintaining high standards of quality and design in full respect of nature.
