GREEN ZIP
WORLD HAS CHANGED.NO ONE KNOWS HOW IT WILL BE THE FUTURE,BUT WE WILL WORK THINKING ABOUT HUMANITY.
GREENTHINK
WE PRODUCE ZIPPERS WITH FULL-CYCLE IN-HOUSE PRODUCTION, WITH TEXTILE, MECHANICAL AND CHEMICAL SKILLS.
OUR THINK IS ALWAYS GREEN, FROM THE PROJECT OF INDUSTRIAL BUILDING AND SYSTEMS, TO PRODUCTION PROCESSES AND PRODUCTS.
THIS PHILOSOPHY ALLOWED US TO TALK WITH PUBLIC INSTITUTIONS AND COOPERATE WITH BIG COMPANIES, GAINING INTERNATIONAL GREEN RECORDS IN THE ZIPPER FIELD.
THE PRODUCTION
THE PRODUCTION FLOW IS ORGANIZED IN A STAR SHAPE, ALLOWING AT ZERO KMT TO TRANSFORM RAW MATERIALS FIRST IN COMPONENTS AND THEN IN FINISHED ZIPPERS. TAPES, CHAINS, SLIDERS REALIZED IN SPECIFIC DEPARTMENTS ARE IN CONTINUOUS IMPROVING OF EFFICIENCY WITH REDUCTION OF CHEMICAL PRODUCTS AND ENERGETIC SOURCES. IN CHEMICAL DEPARTMENTS WE REACHED A REDUCTION OF WATER, GAS AND CHEMICALS CONSUPTION THANKS TO A DIGITAL CONTROL OF THE PROCESS AND A PREVENTION OF DISPERSION.
PROCESS OF METAL FINISHING GIVES EVIDENCE OF REAL GOAL OBTAINED THANKS TO A ZERO DISCHARGE PLANT. IN DEPURATION WATER FLOWS IN INTERNAL SPECIFIC PIPELINES USING AT THE BEST THE THREE TECHNOLOGIES OF THE PLANT ACHIEVING URBAN PARAMETERS. METALS ARE HANDLED IN THE OPTIC OF REDUCE OF WASTE THAT ARE DIRECTED IN DEDICATED PLANT TO ENSURE THE CONSTANCE OF PRODUCTION.
SUSTAINABLE MATERIALS
A COSTANT RESEARCH OF NEW MATERIALS ALLOWED US TO BE THE FIRST USING CERTIFIED YARNS COMING FROM GREEN FARM AND WASTE RECYCLE. THESE MATERIALS ARE AVAILABLE IN DIFFERENT SIZES OF METALLIC AND SPIRAL CHAIN AND POLYESTER IS WIDELY OFFERED IN DIFFERENT COLORS. THESE YARNS TOGETHER WITH GREEN FINISHINGS AND HIGH PERFORMANCE ENVIROMENTAL PROCESSES, ALLOW US TO OFFER TO CUSTOMERS A ZIP WITH A HIGH SUSTAINABILITY RATING.

THE INDUSTRIAL BUILDING
AT THE BEGINNING OF THE 2000, OPTIMIZATION OF TECHNOLOGICAL SYSTEMS FOR ENERGY SAVING ALLOWED US TO REACH A SAVINGS OF 60%. OUR TARGET AIM TO 100%. WE DECIDED TO BUILD A BRAND-NEW PLANT BASED ON BEST AVAILABLE TECHNOLOGIES. THE CHOICE OF THE LAND HAS BEEN MADE ANALYZING THE PERFORMANCE OF THE SUN TO SETUP A PHOTOVOLTAIC SYSTEM AND TO USE OF NATURAL DAYLIGHT.
THE SHED ROOF WITH WINDOWS ORIENTED TO NORTH AND SKYLIGHTS, ALLOW INDIRECT SOLAR LIGHT AVOIDING DAZZLE. ALSO THE OPENING OF EACH WINDOW ON THE ROOF PRODUCES NATURAL VENTILATION FOR WORKERS, WITHOUT USE OF ENERGY. THE ENTIRE BUILDING IS POWERED BY PHOTOVOLTAIC SYSTEM WITH ZERO VISUAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT.
THE CIVIL PLANTS
WE HAVE IDENTIFIED 4 MACRO AREAS OF EMPLOYEE PRESENCE REALIZING SPECIFIC SYSTEMS OF AIR CONDITIONING.
THE NEEDS OF EACH MACRO AREA HAVE CREATED THE CHOICE OF DIFFERENT TYPES OF HEATING AND AIRCONDITIONING, INTEGRATED WITH HEAT RECOVERY FROM PRODUCTION PROCESSES.
