ART AS A LANGUAGE
Seven Colors, Seven Perspectives on Circularity
These are not simply the colors of a work of art. They are the themes the textile industry must address, the challenges it faces, and the opportunities it can develop.
RED: Responsibility
ORANGE: Regeneration
YELLOW: Innovation
GREEN: Sustainability
BLUE: Water
INDIGO: Traceability
PURPLE: Creativity
The installation invites viewers to look beyond the surface and reflect on the value of materials, the responsibilities of the supply chain, and the opportunities to rethink the life cycle of textile products.
From WEEE to textile: a renewed collaboration
Our collaboration with Gruppo Hera and its SCART project began in 2025 with "RAEE-START: Accendi il cambiamento" (WEEE-START: Switch on the change), a campaign dedicated to collecting small waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE). The initiative was organised in partnership with the WEEE Coordination Centre and the European Week for Waste Reduction (EWWR), collecting 30 kg of WEEE thanks to the participation of schools and visitors.

Ecomondo as a hub for the textile industry
The installation is the first visible chapter of a much broader project.
Shades of Circularity is a statement of intent and the first step in a wider initiative. At its 29th edition, Ecomondo is expanding its focus on the textile industry, supporting the evolution of this strategic value chain through a growing exhibition offering, the involvement of artists and creatives, scientific and industrial debate and dialogue between businesses, institutions, research and new generations.
Talks, conferences and events not to be missed
The textile industry is evolving, and Ecomondo will offer a wide range of content as part of its conference program, covering everything from eco-design and EPR for recycling to end-of-life management and the Digital Product Passport, while exploring the key challenges and opportunities shaping a circular textile value chain.
