AREAS at Performance Days Munich with Membrain115 - Made in recycled polyester

Research, tests, innovation, all devoting attention to the minutest detail, all with a focus on sustainability. This is the vision of the future at Trerè Innovation’s AREAS – Academy for Research and Engineering in Apparel and Sport. The Centre studies and develops high-tech solutions and we’re bringing this perspective with us to Performance Days – Functional Fabric Fair. It’s taking place at the Munich Exhibition Centre on Wednesday 13 and Thursday 14 November (booth P17/hall C1). In addition to showing off our technology and the materials we use, we’ll be putting some new releases in the spotlight. Specifically, you’ll see Membrain115 which is made using polyester recycled from plastic bottles to create a sustainable fabric that aligns not only with the show’s main theme but also with our company philosophy.

Having attended the Munich Performance Days at the beginning of May and the Portland Performance Days at the end of October, this Italian company is set to return to the Bavarian capital for this huge functional fabrics exhibition. 290 high-quality exhibitors will be there, hailing from around 30 countries. It’s therefore a crucial date for Trerè Innovation and for our technical products. We have carried out years of research and hours of tests, in lab and in the field, with one sole objective: to always strive for excellence.

BREATHABILITY AND PROTECTION: A HIGHLY FUNCTIONAL MEMBRANE

The Membrain115 is a multi-award-winning technology. It was used in the men’s Rossignol Supercorde Ski Jacket, which won the ISPO Award 2019 for best product in the Snowsport category. We’re announcing an incredible new detail: now the membrane is made using polyester recycled from plastic bottles. Breathable, windproof and extremely durable, when applied to knitted fabric the Membrain115 is exceedingly flexible and can adapt perfectly to the elastic movements of the fabric. Combined with reduced stitching, Membrain115 sets totally new standards in terms of elasticity and comfort, which means incredible freedom of movement while also supporting an athlete’s movements and guaranteeing accurate body temperature control.

TRERÈ INNOVATION: THE ENVIRONMENT IS A KEY FOCAL POINT FOR US

Trerè Innovation was one of the first companies in Europe to obtain the important SteP (Sustainable Text Production) by Oeko-Tex® certification, which guarantees that all our textile manufacturing processes are sustainable. Reducing our impact on the environment is one of our main goals. 100% of the energy we use is derived from renewable sources, allowing us to further reduce CO₂ emissions. As a result, we saved 410 tonnes in 2019. What’s more, every year we recycle 110 tonnes of waste material, from paper and wood to plastic and textile fibres, thus driving a circular economy.
