Gruppo MAIP Joins ReGenesis Protocol for Sustainable Luxury Manufacturing

In a significant step toward fostering sustainable practices in high-end manufacturing, Gruppo MAIP has announced its collaboration with the innovative ReGenesis™ protocol developed by Lisa Tavazzani Studio. This initiative aims to improve the traceability and upcycling of waste generated in the luxury goods sector.

Emphasizing Upcycling and Sustainability

The ReGenesis protocol is a groundbreaking solution tailored to meet the specific needs of luxury brands. Its focus is on enhancing the management of unsold items and production waste, converting these into valuable materials through advanced upcycling methods. This structured approach aims to support a circular economy by keeping materials within a closed loop, thus minimizing waste and promoting sustainability.

Gruppo MAIP’s partnership with Eastman and Studio Lisa Tavazzani introduces exciting new compounds and sheets derived from processed industrial waste products and Eastman’s Acetate Renew, a fully sustainable acetate equivalent in performance to traditional acetate. This innovative material not only serves the production of luxury eyewear and accessories but does so while adhering to responsible and transparent supply chain practices.

Commitment to High Standards

Eligio Martini, CEO of Gruppo MAIP, expressed his enthusiasm regarding this partnership, sharing, "We are eager to join this collaboration, reaffirming our commitment to transforming waste into sustainable, high-performance materials. By merging our expertise in advanced compounds with our partners' innovations, we enhance the quality of materials, providing a traceable and eco-friendly solution in line with luxury and sustainability values."

Rachel Oakley, Eyewear Segment Leader at Eastman, corroborated this sentiment by stating, "At Eastman, we are dedicated to developing sustainable solutions for eyewear. Collaborating with Gruppo MAIP and Lisa Tavazzani Studio not only reduces waste but ensures the creation of high-quality products essential for the luxury sector, demonstrating that sustainability and excellence can coexist."

Today’s luxury companies are increasingly encountering challenges in managing unsold products and unused raw materials. The ReGenesis protocol provides them with a viable recycling option through collaboration with suppliers and industrial partners who offer reliable recycling strategies. Each stage of the production process is meticulously monitored to ensure transparency and credibility, supported by blockchain technology.

Strategic Positioning in a Sustainable Future

This innovation meets the growing sustainability demands of luxury brands while strategically positioning recycling as an essential tool to bolster brand reputation and competitiveness in the global market. This partnership goes beyond recovering materials; it transforms waste into premium resources.

Lisa Tavazzani highlighted the impact of their collaboration, stating, "With ReGenesis™, we are redefining the concept of sustainability in luxury by converting valuable waste into premium and traceable materials. This partnership signifies our commitment to transparency, environmental responsibility, and innovation, providing brands with sustainable solutions without compromising on quality.
