THE LONG ROAD OF REGENERATED WOOL

“The long road of regenerated wool” is the intriguing title of one of the “Dialoghi di Confronto” which took place in the Networking Area of the 58th edition of Filo and which we reproduce here in full.
Sauro Guerri, vice president of the Italian Wool Trade Association, led the Filo audience through the problems and successes of a complex manufacturing process, underlining how “in the search for greater sustainability, it is crucial to act sensibly and not dismantle century-old traditions and methods, without having first thought of how to replace them”.
