"Poltrone Rifà"- The new INNOMED UP sub-grant project in Prato

In the "Scrap Bank" of Recuperiamoci, many interesting materials are stored for their creative reuse.

Thanks to the INNOMED UP project, the Recuperiamoci association was able to purchase suitable machinery for the processing of inner tubes, bicycles, tyres, leather and other fabrics that would otherwise be difficult to work with.

The PoltroneRifà project has led to the creation of new "coverings" composed of tyres, inner tubes, truck covers, leather scraps and old bags through the use of a triple transport sewing machine and a specific compressor. The first textures are already ready.

The goal of Recuperiamoci for the future is to provide training for those who want to intervene directly on their objects to repair them. The citizens can admire the recovery works of the Recuperiamoci Association at the headquarters in Via di Cantagallo, 33 in Prato.
