PULVERA S.R.L.
Pulvera is an Italian start-up that recovers textile waste, pulverizes it using the advanced pulverization technology developed by its parent company, Casati Flock & Fibers, and uses the resulting powder to create new materials and products. Its mission is to lead companies in the textile sector toward a future that reduces waste, minimizes environmental impact, and enables a completely new, scalable, and tailor-made textile recycling process.
NEXT TECHNOLOGY TECNOTESSILE
Next Technology Tecnotessile – NTT (Italy, Tuscany), is one of Italian leading organisations in Research and Development. Founded in 1972 in Prato, at the heart of Europe’s main textile district, NTT has quickly become a reference point not only regionally but also nationally and internationally for technological transfer and innovation. NTT’s primary goal is to enhance the competitiveness of companies, helping them stay at the forefront through advanced technological solutions and research projects aimed at the future. Initially established to support the textile and fashion industry, NTT has progressively expanded its activities in many other different industrial sectors, including mechanics, automotive, logistics, and ICT. This expansion has led NTT to collaborate with numerous strategic partners, including companies, universities, and research centres, strengthening its presence in international R&D projects. Thanks to this extensive collaboration network, NTT is now a key player in technological innovation, offering innovative solutions ranging from semi-industrial scale prototyping to highly specialised technical consulting. NTT also coordinates the Fashion Technology District OTIR2020 – Tuscany Fashion Cluster (OTIR2020–TFC), by involving more than 120 members including SMEs; LE, Universities, R&D and Training Center, Federetaions. The aim is to coordinate and support the Tuscan production system by enhancing the level of innovation targeted areas. Through technical and technological support, NTT guides companies in following the evolving trends of the sector, helping them compete effectively in an increasingly global and dynamic market. | Next Technology Tecnotessile – NTT (Italy, Tuscany), is one of Italian leading organisations in Research and Development.

Matoha
Matoha Instrumentation exists to solve a practical problem at the heart of textile recycling: we do not know, with enough certainty, what materials are really moving through the system. Matoha builds technology that identifies textiles at garment level, where decisions are actually made. Not in laboratories. Not in theory. On sorting tables, in live operations, under real-world conditions. Each scan replaces assumption with evidence. But identification alone is not enough. What matters is what follows. Every garment scanned becomes a data point. Over time, those data points create a clear, traceable picture of material flows: what fibres appear, in what volumes, at what quality, and where they go next. This is garment-level tracking and tracing, built from the ground up. That information changes behaviour. Sorters work with greater confidence. Recyclers plan with clearer inputs. Brands gain insight into post-consumer reality, rather than relying on models or averages. Decisions improve because the data improves. Matoha’s approach is deliberately grounded. The tools are simple to use, the outputs are practical, and the aim is progress rather than spectacle. In an industry full of ambition, we focus on delivery. At events, we show what already works. Real garments. Real scans. Real data. Because the transition to circular textiles will not be driven by promises, but by infrastructure that earns trust through use.
