Tommaso Rulli from MTI New York

MTI USA is a sales agency for fashion material and manufacturing that focuses on incorporating the three pillars of sustainability (economic, social, and environmental) within our practices.   If any one pillar is weak then the system as a whole is unsustainable.

Personally I believe that every business should prioritize sustainability and will have much more potential growth than ever. It's the right and only direction to push. Nothing is perfectly sustainable but our efforts and discussions help to improve this change. The Covid pandemic seems to have sped up this process, but we need more public and private investment and tax breaks to realize and consolidate all this efforts.

Tommaso will be presenting a selection of the initiatives lead by the mills & makers represented by MTI, these include

Regenerative agriculture - Bombyx silk

Biodegradable nylon - Amni Soul

Eco leather - CLC / Vegan leather - Cactus +DMF free

Recycled cottons -Giotex / Recycled wool - Fortex Prato
