Imbotex is a leading manufacturer of high-quality padding and wadding, founded in 1955 in Cittadella (Padua). The company stands out for natural and latest generation technical fibers, offering advanced solutions for furniture, bedding, fashion and sportswear, and workwear. Always attentive to eco-sustainability, in 2019 it developed the new division Imbotex Lab promoting the circular economy with products based on recycling and upcycling.
At Milano Unica, we met Giada Bertinazzo of the sales department, who showed us some of the latest products: Pur-Fill, a new wadding made from recycled polyester from textile waste; Le Jean recyclé – Denim Pad, a colored wadding made with recycled denim; and Climalight, a recycled polyester padding designed for climbing clothing and other outdoor activities. “We have another product based on recycled polyester, that imitates the compressibility of goose down and its breathability, while guaranteeing excellent water repellency: it’s called Climaeco Ocean Bound, and it’s certified Ocean Bound Plastic, a program that aims to incentivize the cleaning of ocean waters by removing plastic waste located within the first fifty kilometers from the coasts.”
