Tie-up boosts transparency and decarbonisation in textile machinery.
Itema has announced a strategic partnership with Ivy Decarb, a digital platform dedicated to helping textile companies measure, compare, and reduce their carbon footprint. With this collaboration, Itema becomes one of the first textile machinery manufacturers to join the platform, strengthening its leadership in advancing sustainability across the weaving industry.
The textile sector is under increasing pressure to meet steep decarbonisation goals, and the Ivy Decarb Marketplace brings together stakeholders from across the value chain to support this transition. Through the platform, textile manufacturers can access detailed, comparable data on machinery performance, including energy consumption, emissions, and lifecycle carbon footprint. This transparency enables weavers to evaluate suppliers more effectively and make informed, sustainability-focused investment decisions. The platform also facilitates financing through partnerships with local banks, helping accelerate adoption of greener technologies.
Matteo Mutti, Chief Sales & Service Officer, Itema Group, said, “Sustainability has always been a priority for Itema, so we were delighted to join Ivy Decarb. Together with them and with the other project partners, we are defining the evaluation criteria for this now fundamental aspect of all textile machineries. At the same time, we are confident that our weaving machines, always among the most sustainable in the industry, will be increasingly recognised as such by weavers around the world through this marketplace.â€
By linking machinery manufacturers, textile producers, global brands, and financial institutions, Ivy Decarb aims to accelerate the sector’s broader shift toward net-zero operations. The partnership reinforces Itema’s commitment to driving measurable environmental progress and supports a collaborative industry-wide movement toward cleaner, more efficient and responsible textile production.
