The Alta Badia valley with its steep peaks and its impressive landscapes will be hosting both professional sportspeople and amateurs in one of the real must of the seasons. But the undisputed star of the day is definitely gong to be the environment itself, which has always been a top priority for both Carvico and the organizers of such event. Our business and the organisation behind the marathon have always promoted a “green spirit” and sustainability and it is from those values their concrete approach to the preservation and defence of our ecosystem stems from.

The Dolomiti Limited Edition Waistcoat by Carvico is made of 100% recycled polyester derived from post consumer plastic bottles ( PET) .
Everything starts with a really innovative yarn and results from a complex and critical process controlled and supervised throughout its production cycle: from the collection of post-consumer plastic bottles to their transformation process up to the production of the yarn itself. A yarn which can boast the very same features and performance of stadard, virgin yarn. The PET recycling process brings about several advantages:
– lower energy consumption ( – 50% )
– energy savings concerning non renewable sources commonly used for standard production processes
– lower CO2 emissions: recycling 1000 kilos of PET means reducing free house gases emissions of 3000 kilos.
30 1.5 litre bottles can be recycled to produce 1kg of new yarn, therefore 73,534 bottles can be converted into 7000 meters of fabric so to say the amount of fabric used to create the 9300 waistcoats Carvico is going to present the Maratona Dles Dolomites with.
