Production
Processes
MagnoLab hosts a physical network of pilot plants, installed at a single site, where it is possible to collaboratively develop innovative products and processes with rapid and streamlined experimentation cycles.
Connecting textile realities that usually do not communicate with each other.
Gathering a customized prototyping process at a single site, which is normally spread out.
Coverage of the entire textile manufacturing supply chain.
Synergistic research and development for innovative solutions.
Offering vertical training for a shared vision of the entire textile system.
Proposing technical solutions in support of the eco-design perspective.

Production Processes
The pilot plants active in MagnoLab consist of industrial production machinery used exclusively for development purposes and represent the main stages of the textile supply chain: from fiber preparation to spinning, weaving, dyeing, finishing, and packaging.
Collaboration among all partners in a shared space, each with their own know-how and added value, creates a virtuous mechanism of exchange, discussion, and synthesis of ideas, ensuring a high rate of innovation for each individual project.
All projects are managed with rapid experimentation cycles, according to a lean management model.

Applications
The Ecological Impact
of the Textile Life Cycle
The textile industry leaves a very deep footprint on natural ecosystems. It is essential to identify, develop, and disseminate sustainable practices to reduce the impact of our sector and protect the environmental balances of our planet.
3.8 billion kg
of waste added to our landfills
The textile industry generates a large volume of fibrous waste, which can take centuries to decompose.
400m2 of land
per person on average in the EU each year
The production of textile raw materials is among the causes of deforestation, habitat loss, and soil degradation.
1,2 billion tons
of CO2 produced each year
Air pollutants and fossil fuels for energy production contribute to greenhouse gas emissions.
Over 3500
substances used in textile production
A wide range of chemicals is applied during the pre-treatment or finishing stages of textile processing.
86 billion m3
of water per year
Water is widely used during processing operations, resulting in the discharge of a variety of effluents.
0,5 Kwh
of electricity needed per meter of fabric
The significant energy consumption of textile production can increase greenhouse gas emissions.
