Itema Partners with Ivy Decarb to Advance Textile Decarbonization

A New Alliance for Low-Impact Manufacturing

Itema joins Ivy Decarb to support data-driven sustainability, enabling textile manufacturers to evaluate machinery by carbon impact and accelerate the shift toward greener weaving operations.

Itema has taken a significant step toward accelerating sustainability in the textile sector by forming a strategic partnership with Ivy Decarb, the digital platform designed to help textile companies measure, compare and systematically reduce their carbon footprint.

As one of the first textile machinery manufacturers to join the Ivy Decarb ecosystem, Itema positions itself at the forefront of the industry’s transition toward lower-impact production. The collaboration comes at a time when global textile players face mounting pressure to meet ambitious decarbonization targets and demonstrate tangible environmental progress.

Ivy Decarb’s Marketplace is built to unite every link of the textile value chain — from machinery makers and mills to financiers and global brands — with the shared goal of accelerating the shift to cleaner manufacturing. The platform allows textile producers to evaluate machinery using transparent, data-driven criteria, including energy efficiency, emissions output and overall carbon footprint. By enabling side-by-side comparisons, buyers can make informed decisions that prioritise sustainability. The marketplace also supports investment by connecting manufacturers with local banking partners to streamline financing.

Reflecting on the partnership, Matteo Mutti, Chief Sales & Service Officer of Itema Group, stated:
“Sustainability has always been a priority for Itema, so we were delighted to join Ivy Decarb. Together with them and with the other project partners, we are defining the evaluation criteria for this now fundamental aspect of all textile machineries. At the same time, we are confident that our weaving machines, always among the most sustainable in the industry, will be increasingly recognized as such by weavers around the world through this marketplace.”

The initiative aims to accelerate the textile sector’s collective journey toward net-zero emissions. By connecting high-efficiency machinery suppliers like Itema with manufacturers, financial institutions and global brands, Ivy Decarb fosters collaboration, transparency and measurable impact — ensuring the industry moves forward with both technological innovation and environmental responsibility.
