Sustainability

Since the company was founded in 1994, we have always been concerned with being a more sustainable company. We invest in green technologies and processes that cause the least possible impact on nature. We use yarns with OEKO TEX certification and we have the Digitale ECO line made from recycled fibres, with GRS certification.

 

We care about the environment and make a point of using technologies and processes that have the least possible impact. In addition to using water-based and heavy metal-free dyes in digital printing, we also invest in effluent treatment processes to reuse 100% of the water needed in the production of our fabrics. And as a result, 95% of the waste generated at Digitale Têxtil is sent for recycling, that is, a responsible and conscious choice for the environment.

We adopted reverse logistics following the logic of the circular economy, with our elastane supplier, all cardboard cones and plastic trays being returned to be reused in the process. It is better than recycling, as it does not waste virgin raw material or energy to produce a new product.

We want to be responsible by doing our part to take care of our planet, and therefore seek sustainable solutions. For example, we chose to use digital printing, as it has less impact on the environment. We use dyes without heavy metals and the amount of water used is up to 10x less than in the traditional process. We monitor everything closely to make sure we’re doing our part to preserve the planet.

Sustainability Objectives aligned with the SDGs

At Digitale Têxtil, we believe in a more sustainable future and that is why we are aligned with the SDGs – Sustainable Development Goals, part of the 2030 Agenda. Together, 193 countries have come together to overcome the challenges of development and promote sustainable growth by 2030 We are committed to doing our part and contributing to a more sustainable future for all.

Digitale is committed to doing its part for a more sustainable future and, therefore, is part of the Brazilian Sustainable Fashion League (BSFL) project. With the support of the Texbrasil Program, the company has the opportunity to improve its practices and management to make them more sustainable. Through individual advice from the consultancy REGENERATE Fashion, Digitale was able to understand its position on the sustainability journey and create a personalized action plan to achieve its unique goals. The company is committed to taking sustainability seriously, for the benefit of its customers, the environment and the future.

The REGENERATE team worked with Digitale Têxtil to review the 17 SDGs and define which goals the company would like to focus on. Are they:

We strive to recover up to 95% of the waste generated in production and send it for recycling. In addition, we work to ensure proper disposal of oil from circular looms, collected by a company specializing in oil recycling. This commitment to sustainability helps protect the environment and preserve natural resources for future generations.

Digitale is careful when choosing the materials used in its production. We prioritize the use of high quality threads, in addition to using water-based dyes for digital prints, ensuring a more sustainable production. We also use certified Oeko Tex fibers and recycled yarns, reinforcing our commitment to sustainability.

All the chemical materials we use in the process comply with Oeko Tex standards, ensuring that Digitale fabrics do not contain substances that are harmful to the environment and our bodies.

Digital printing is fundamental for a lower environmental impact in the production of printed fabrics, it does not waste fabric from the production pre-set, it has the lowest consumption of dyes and chemicals , water consumption is 10x less than the traditional method (rotary printing or frame) and has the lowest power consumption.

Social

Digitale has a strong partnership with the NGO Ação e Vida, which helps to improve the situation of people in needy communities. Together, we provide education, professionalization and social guidance in the Cabuçu region, in Guarulhos/SP. In addition, we donate fabrics to help the organization’s Cutting and Sewing Workshop, which aims to help women in the community, many of whom are victims of domestic violence, to recover their self-esteem and have a source of income to live with dignity.

Digitale demonstrates a constant concern for the health and safety of its employees, offering regular training on the safe operation of machines and conducting annual training for the fire brigade. All employees are equipped with personal protective equipment (PPE) to ensure accident prevention.

Digitale is committed to increasing its energy efficiency and shows exceptional environmental stewardship. By implementing sustainable practices, we were able to produce more fabrics with a significant 16% reduction in energy consumption per kilogram produced. To achieve this goal, we made investments in technology, including the installation of power inverters in the machines’ motors, the modernization of the dryer and the replacement of all light bulbs with more efficient LEDs. These actions not only bring benefits to the environment, but also make our production process more economical.

Digitale has a serious commitment to the management of water resources and this is reflected in its results. The company was able to increase its production and did so using less water. This was possible thanks to its internal water treatment technology, which allows the reuse of treated water in the production process. In addition, Digitale has shown exceptional water stewardship, ensuring this valuable resource is used efficiently and responsibly. The use of digital printing contributes significantly to saving water in the production process of our fabrics.

We strive to recover up to 95% of the waste generated in production and send it for recycling. In addition, we ensure proper disposal of oil from circular looms, which is collected by a company specializing in oil recycling. This commitment to sustainability helps protect the environment and preserve natural resources for future generations.

Governance

The company has an efficient approach to governance, producing only what is needed and avoiding excess inventory. Over 5 years ago, Digitale expanded its operations to include direct-to-consumer sales through its e-commerce, offering customers the option to buy both wholesale and retail, by meters. This demonstrates the company’s ability to adapt to the needs of its customers and offer customized solutions according to their demands.
