RadiciGroup's circularity principles

Ecodesign : RadiciGroup is increasingly working with customers and suppliers to design circular products. There is a particular focus on the concept of monomateriality. The concept is based on the realisation of objects using a single material, or very few chemically related ones, that can meet all the necessary performance needs and be immediately recycled at the end of life, possibly mechanically, requiring only the disassembly of the different components.

Materials : the production offer is largely based on recyclable, durable and recycled materials . Through Radici InNova, the Group is investing in a further area for new and increasingly sustainable sources of raw materials, also obtained through innovative and technologically pioneering processes.

Processes : the Group invests in optimising every aspect of production , from the use of raw materials to energy resources, combating all forms of waste. Processes are scientifically and rigorously measured to verify their impact.

Durability: RadiciGroup products are based on high-performance , carefully selected raw materials from traceable and qualified supply chains. Nylon, in particular, is designed to last over time and confer the same characteristic to its customers’ products.

Recyclability : all Group materials can be recycled at the end of their life through a mechanical process with limited energy and environmental impact. They can thereby be transformed into new polymers for the most challenging sectors, from automotive to technical textiles.

Quality recycling : The Group is able to select different waste materials by exploiting their intrinsic qualities and direct them to the most appropriate second life, based on the desired technical, environmental and market performance.

Renewable resources : renewable resources, especially energy resources, are a key factor in RadiciGroup's sustainability policy. Thanks to its 20-year partnership with Geogreen, the Group has long had more than 50% clean energy in its mix.

Extended

producer responsibility: RadiciGroup is inspired by extended producer responsibility schemes to implement structured, controlled and efficient circular economy models.
