The Association of Italian Textile Machinery Manufacturers (ACIMIT) has published the second edition of ‘Green Guide’ providing a summary of actions taken by Italian textile machinery firms in the field of sustainability, in terms of savings resources used during the textile production process.
The Green Guide lists the technology innovations that allow machine users to cut production costs while adopting environmentally friendly measures. In addition to global competition, which is pushing towards more economic production processes, many countries have set up green incentives for the acquisition of more eco-friendly, energy efficient machinery, the association reports. This drive from the top towards sustainable technologies is seen as yet another strong motivation for Italy’s machinery builders.
The Sustainable Technologies project brings together different promotional and communications activities intended to act as a sounding board for Italy’s textile machinery businesses. With 7,000 copies in print, the Green Guide will be distributed at major industry trade fairs, in which ACIMIT will take part together with its associated members during the 2014. A print version will also appear in Chinese, distributed in 1000 copies at the upcoming ITMA ASIA+CITME 2014 that will be held from June 16-20, 2014.
