Itema, Ivy Decarb to promote low-carbon textile production

Itema has announced a new partnership with Ivy Decarb, a digital platform that helps textile companies measure and reduce their carbon emissions. Itema is taking a leading role in supporting the industry’s shift toward lowering environmental impact.

The Ivy Decarb Marketplace brings together different players across the value chain to speed up the move toward more environmentally friendly production methods. The platform allows textile manufacturers to compare machine features such as energy use, emissions, and carbon footprint, helping them choose suppliers in a transparent and sustainable way. It also supports financing through partnerships with local banks.

Matteo Mutti, Chief Sales & Service Officer of Itema Group, said, “Sustainability has always been central for Itema, so we are glad to join Ivy Decarb. Together with the other partners, we are defining evaluation standards for this essential aspect of textile machinery. We are confident that our weaving machines, known for being among the most sustainable in the industry, will gain even more recognition through this marketplace.”

The platform aims to support the industry’s shift toward sustainability and contribute to the wider goal of achieving net-zero emissions. By bringing together machinery manufacturers, textile producers, financial institutions, and global brands, it encourages collaboration and enables the entire sector to create meaningful and measurable progress.
