FOREWORD
ICE-AGENCY
Foreword to the ACIMIT Green Guide Issues relating to sustainable development, environmental protection and health are currently gaining in awareness both with policy makers and in terms of public opinion. The textile and fashion industry, which is naturally more attuned to capturing the moods of end consumers, has - albeit not always in a constant and univocal manner - elaborated its very own standards for sustainable development. In many companies of the industry, there is a growing conviction that embarking on the road to sustainability translates into accepting technological and cultural innovation at all levels of the business. If sustainability entails the development of innovative products, then this process goes hand in hand with the use of technologies capable of supporting textile and fashion manufacturers in designing sustainable products, while rendering their production processes ever more efficient. This is why Italy’s textile machinery manufacturers are currently at the forefront in providing cutting edge sustainable technology that exploits resources rationally while minimising the use of energy and raw materials. With the “Sustainable Technologies” project, ACIMIT intends to promote awareness within the global textile and garments industry of the inroads being made by Italy’s textile machinery manufacturers in terms of sustainable innovation. The ACIMIT “Green Label” constitutes a declaration of the energy and environmental performance of the textile machine to which it is affixed, as well as providing information on quantities of equivalent emissions of carbon dioxide (Carbon Footprint - CFP) produced during its operation, with respect to the standard production cycle stated on the Green Label. This guide aims to illustrate the project and introduces ACIMIT’s associated manufacturers who have thus far responded to the call, joining the “Sustainable Technologies” project and thereby becoming “Suppliers of Sustainable Technologies”.
The ICE Italian Trade Promotion Agency is the government organisation which promotes the internationalisation of Italian companies, in line with the strategies of the Ministry for Economic Development. ICE–Agency provides information, support and advice to Italian and foreign companies. With regard to the textile machinery industry, in order to consolidate and improve the trading conditions of Italian companies in foreign markets, ICE-Agency has implemented promotional activities focused on the marketing of Italian textile production technology that best takes account of environmental protection and energy saving. The construction of environmentally friendly equipment is a valid response to the global demand for textile machinery, characterised by an increasing sensitivity and attention to environmental issues. Most textile companies see the use of technologies energy saving as an opportunity to also bring down production costs and therefore become more competitive in the foreign markets. ICE-Agency, in collaboration with the Association of Italian Textile Machinery Manufacturers (ACIMIT), intends to stimulate and guide Italian manufacturers of textile machinery towards environmentally friendly technologies and reinforce the image of Italian firms which operate in this sector as companies with a strong inclination for innovation.

EDITORIAL Italian textile machinery manufacturers who wish to use the ACIMIT green label must comply with the Sustainable Technologies project by adhering to and respecting a memorandum of understanding, as well as a rigorous compliance standard defined by ACIMIT. By underwriting and complying to this standard, Italian machinery manufacturers who use the ACIMIT green label formalise in writing their commitment to respect the procedures and tests defined by the implementation regulation deliberated by ACIMIT. The ACIMIT Supplier of Sustainable Technologies registered trademark is the symbol that identifies Italian textile machinery manufacturers who comply with the Sustainable Technologies project, and thus use of the ACIMIT green label.
The ACIMIT green label - a certified standard At ITMA ASIA + CITME 2012 ACIMIT introduced the certified version of this instrument. In fact, an international certification body, RINA, has validated the green label issuing process and the evaluations it contains. Based on a standardised and certified procedure, a third party verifies (for some manufacturers, drawn from those participating in the project every year) both the evaluation criteria and operating conditions of the machinery being assessed for the labeling process. Other trademark labels exist in the industrial machinery sector that assign sustainability compliances to manufacturers; in actual fact, these are simply self-referenced labels of an exclusively promotional nature. They fail to provide technical criteria (i.e. measurable values) that justify the attribution of the sustainability trademark. Above all, their claims are never verified by third parties. With this further evolutionary process, Italian manufacturers are able instead to provide potential customers machinery performance information that has been verified by an internationally recognised certification organisation. And the road to perfecting the green label does not end here. Measuring a production process does not in itself guarantee the quality of textile products downstream from the process. This is why ACIMIT is already working to make the green label a guarantee of the final product. The road to the qualification of textile machinery is a long and arduous one, but the Italian textile machinery industry is currently leading the way.
