Israel-based cleantech company UBQ Materials joins hands with multinational retail solutions provider Mainetti to turn waste into sustainable fashion materials. The joint venture will introduce eco-friendly and sustainable raw materials for the global fashion industry and retailers.
By diverting landfill-destined waste, UBQ’s solution helps prevent methane emissions, groundwater contamination, and other social and environmental harms associated with the proliferation of landfills, all while creating a novel raw material with a climate-positive impact. Essentially, the company turns unwanted leftovers and trash into turtle-friendly materials for the retail world.
UBQ’s best-in-class technology, paired with our global footprint as the leading retail solutions provider, will allow us to help the fashion industry revolutionize sustainable practices and have a lasting impact on the planet.
The development of Mainetti garment hangers containing UBQ material has resulted in hangers with a significantly reduced carbon footprint. These sustainable products are currently pending Cradle-to-Cradle (C2C) certification, which is a globally recognized measure for the production of safe and eco-friendly products.
