Clerici Tessuto has come to an agreement with the leading environmental organization Parley, to produce luxury fabric using a Global Recycled Standard (GRS) polyester yarn, constructed using up-cycled marine plastic debris procured from beaches, islands, and coastal communities.

In order to bridge the gap between fashion and eco innovation, Clerici Tessuto has established this collaboration to connect high-end fabric production with Parley’s Ocean Plastic. The aim of this partnership is to help drive a textile revolution required to terminate the marine plastic pollution while abiding with Parley’s AIR Strategy to Avoid, Intercept, Redesign.

Cyrill Gutsch, Parley founder and CEO believes that the fashion industry is seen as the reflection of society and new luxury fulfills this purpose. To end the 'toxic Age' has remained Parley's mission and this partnership facilitates the company to stand on a Global platform and strengthen its drive for the ‘Material Revolution’. Cyrill claims that Clerici Tessuto is among the most vital textile manufacturers in the world for the luxury sector and together the vision could potentially define the future of the planet. The CEO requests consumers to join the drive that collaborates creativity with eco-innovation.
