Piave Maitex, recognised as a preferred partner for the textiles industry, brings on the successful path of responsible and smart innovation and presents its unique line Again during the Functional Fabric Fair, which takes place in Portland, OR, next week.

During the Functional Fabric Fair, the trade-exclusive event, where the latest trends in fabric development for the functional textiles industry are showcased, Piave Maitex presents Again – a smart and technically advanced line that is designed to balance performances, functionality and sustainable features, formed of highly performing jerseys.

Two premium Global Recycled Standard (GRS) certified sustainable ingredients have been involved in the production of Again: the premium stretch fibre Roica EF – part of Roica Eco-Smart Family – constructed out with more than 50% pre-consumer recycled content and perPETual high-quality sustainable polyester born from a cost-effective process that reverses engineer consumer waste PET bottles.
