Recycling textile waste

Pistoni S.r.l. has specialized since 1993 in the professional recovery and recycling of textile waste in Castel Goffredo (Mantua), the heart of the Lombard textile district recognized for production excellence in hosiery and knitwear.

With over 30 years of operational experience, we serve textile companies, hosiery factories, and workshops in the area daily, transforming their production waste into certified Secondary Raw Material (SRM) for industrial reuse.

Our industrial process ensures the complete recovery of natural fibers (cotton, wool, viscose) and synthetic fibers (polyester, nylon, acrylic, elastomer), contributing concretely to the circular economy of the textile sector and reducing the environmental impact of local productions.

How our textile waste recycling process works

The industrial recovery cycle managed by Pistoni S.r.l. is structured in controlled and certified phases:

Scheduled collection at customer facilities: We organize the collection of textile waste directly at plants, production departments, and workshops in the Castel Goffredo district and neighboring provinces (Mantua, Brescia, Verona), with dedicated logistics service.
Selection and quality classification: Materials are analyzed and sorted by fiber type (natural/synthetic), color, and product composition, ensuring homogeneous and traceable batches.
Sanitization and preparation: Professional cleaning of textile waste to eliminate impurities and contaminants, ensuring high quality standards of the final SRM.
Industrial pressing and packaging: We use industrial hydraulic presses to compact waste into standardized bales, optimizing storage, transport, and logistics management for purchasing customers.
Storage and commercialization: Secondary Raw Material bales are stored in our climate-controlled warehouse and made available for sale to spinning mills, non-woven companies, and padding manufacturers.

Which Textile Waste We Recover: Natural and Synthetic Fibers

Our processing capacity covers the entire range of textile industry waste:

Natural textile fibers

Cotton: cuttings, cutting scraps, carding waste
Wool: combing waste, carded and combed waste
Viscose: finishing and garment scraps

These materials maintain structural properties that allow regeneration into new yarns for the textile and non-woven industry.

Synthetic textile fibers

Polyester: weaving and garment waste
Nylon/Polyamide: hosiery and knitwear scraps
Acrylic: spinning and dyeing waste
Elastomer (Lycra/Spandex): elastic fabric production cuttings

Synthetic fibers are selected by chemical composition and intended for granulation processes or technical padding production.
