Elin by Elasten | Yarn | Italy
Sustainable Products
Elasten offers a wide range of hyper-sustainable products since we use linen, hemp, or similar -the greenest materials- from 80 to 95% in composition combined with the elastic fibre through the most innovative elasticization techniques. This generates durability of final products which was never seen before.
Elasten invented a new technology called BFlex which puts more plies of hyper-sustainable materials together creating a technical and fluid effect. It can be applied on any kind of material, depending on which the natural stretch effect or the brand new handle will be more evident. Materials are used 100% in composition thus they can be recycled as many times as you wish.
Sustainable Practices
We changed our production speed and adjusted our machines so that we reduced the consumption of electricity by 50%.
Human Sustainability
We carry out our human respect towards our employees trying to keep work in Italy. Our patents are aimed at this ethical purpose, that is keeping every step of the supply chain in Italy guaranteeing a future for our children as well.
Sustainable Certification
Elasten is Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certified and we were also GOTS certified for some customers as part of their supply chain
