Gruppo MAIP Joins ReGenesis Protocol for Sustainable Luxury Manufacturing

In a significant move toward sustainable luxury, Gruppo MAIP has proudly announced its participation in the innovative ReGenesis™ protocol, developed by Studio Lisa Tavazzani. This forward-thinking initiative aims to revolutionize the management of unsold items and production waste in high-end manufacturing by transforming them into valuable resources through advanced recycling methods.

What is the ReGenesis Protocol?

The ReGenesis protocol is designed to provide a customized recycling solution tailored to each brand’s specific needs. The comprehensive process encompasses collection, sorting, and regeneration of materials, yielding new, high-quality raw materials that are reintegrated into the production cycle. By promoting a structured and sustainable approach, the protocol contributes to a circular economy by keeping waste within a closed loop and minimizing environmental impact.

Collaboration and Innovations

Gruppo MAIP is excited to collaborate with Eastman and Studio Lisa Tavazzani to introduce new compounds and sheets made from recycled industrial waste. Among these innovations is Eastman Acetate Renew, a fully sustainable acetate that performs comparably to traditional acetate. This material is specifically engineered for high-end eyewear and accessories, produced through injection molding and sheet production. The partnership ensures that premium products are derived from responsible and transparent supply chains, adhering to the highest global environmental, social, and quality standards.

Eligo Martini, the CEO of Gruppo MAIP, expressed his enthusiasm, stating, "We are thrilled to join this collaboration, which emphasizes our commitment to converting waste into sustainable and high-performance materials. By combining our expertise in advanced compounds with our partners' pioneering efforts, we enhance material quality while providing a fully traceable and environmentally friendly solution aligned with the values of luxury and sustainability."

Rachel Oakley, Eastman’s eyewear segment leader, highlighted the dual benefits of this initiative, saying, "At Eastman, we are dedicated to developing sustainable solutions for the eyewear industry. Partnering with Gruppo MAIP and Studio Lisa Tavazzani not only reduces waste but also guarantees the creation of high-quality products essential for luxury goods, proving that sustainability and excellence can go hand in hand."

Addressing Industry Challenges

Today, many companies grapple with the challenge of managing unsold items and excess raw materials. The ReGenesis protocol offers a concrete solution by collaborating with suppliers and others in the industry to provide reliable recycling options for luxury brands. Every step of the supply chain is meticulously monitored to ensure transparency and trust, bolstered by blockchain technology.

This innovative approach not only meets the sustainability demands of luxury brands but also positions recycling as a strategic tool to enhance brand reputation and competitiveness in the global market. The partnership extends beyond simple material recovery; it transforms waste into premium resources.

Lisa Tavazzani remarked, "With ReGenesis, we are redefining how luxury brands approach sustainability by transforming high-value waste into traceable, premium materials. This collaboration embodies our commitment to transparency, environmental responsibility, and innovation, providing brands with sustainable resources that do not compromise quality. We believe this is the future of luxury."
