On March 30th, the European Commission adopted the EU Strategy for Sustainable and Circular Textiles. This communication reports on the negative social and environmental impacts of the Textile Sector in the EU and worldwide, but also highlights its significant role in tackling injustice, poverty, the endangerment of our health and that of the planet. At Tintex Textiles, we want to be part of the solution, not the problem, and we want to help our partners be part of the solution, too. That is why we have been working on solutions to make the transition to a more sustainable textile system as easy and fluid as possible.

A selection of highlights through the eyes of our Team!

A new year has begun. With it, we embrace new challenges and set future objectives, all the while concluding ongoing projects and keeping, now more than ever, our great motivation to serve and accompany our clients and partners the best way we know, the way we have accustomed them to.

At TINTEX, we search for solutions that have the lower possible impact on the environment. Thus, among other things, such as optimized chemical product management and the incorporation of waste in our coatings, we are making efforts to correctly separate all waste and redirect it to recycling or recovery, giving life to new products and so contributing to the circular economy.

We all know that major changes and developments come from major hits or disruptions, and 2020 will remain on the history books as the year who forced all of us (even the most skeptical ones) to embrace the need of going Digital.

It’s easy to understand the general concept around the word ‘design’. In most cases, we associate this idea to something that represents function and aesthetics. These are the two main words that embody the basis of this practice we call design. However, this topic consists of much more than just function and aesthetics.

1998 é um ano mágico. É lançado o iMac, a Expo 98 relança o nome de Portugal e Os Descobrimentos no Mundo, surge a Google, José Saramago recebe o Prémio Nobel, morre Frank Sinatra e nasce uma empresa fadada para ser Estrela: TINTEX.

The success of a company in this sector depends on being able to remain competitive in its processes while being inventive, following (and dictating) the evolution of trends.

Nowadays, there is a lot of fuzz about circular economy and its impact on our future. I will not tell you definitions nor what is wrong or right, my goal is to share with you a very short resume of TINTEX journey, and the steps that we are taking aiming to be an important part of this new and possibly exciting future.

There is an obvious conflict of interest on Society’s part when evaluating water consumption (…). How can Nature and the World then keep up with this demand?”
