The Italian recycled textile association was born with the desire to enhance the work that the Prato Textile District has been doing for decades, that is, producing high-quality fabrics from recycled raw materials. It therefore wants to defend the past and look confidently to the future. ASTRI was born on August 2, 2017 not with the desire to compete with other trade associations representing the District, but with the hope of being able to collaborate in a complementary manner.
For the ASTRI association, everything that can be REUSED in the production cycle is NOT WASTE, which is why it fights to COUNTER THE REGULATIONS that tend to treat them as such. ACCEPTING these materials in the textile supply chain is the exact opposite of PRODUCTION of waste, from this comes a BENEFIT FOR THE ENVIRONMENT and a service that Prato has been carrying out for many years.
In a historical moment in which many INTERNATIONAL REALITIES have moved in favor of ECO-SUSTAINABILITY, the Prato district wants to see its PRODUCTION PROCESS recognized as an example of low environmental impact. ASTRI is committed to making its EXPERIENCE MADE in the field available to the legislators who have the task of dealing with this ENVIRONMENTAL MATTER, convinced that together we can give an answer to what IS A NECESSITY for the FUTURE
