"Recycling is not a trend or a need of other times: today is a necessity"
The exhibition market within the project INNOMED UP (ENI CBC Med Programme) took place at Emporio Caritas, one of the members of the cluster in Prato. Caritas volunteers re-worked the materials recovered from the first collection of the 10 Smart Tools, positioned around the city and created new creative objects. The fabrics, clothes, accessories and scraps have thus taken on a new form, a new use and a new life. Caritas, which has been pursuing the values of upcycling and recycling for years, has collaborated with the Municipality of Prato, designing an exhibition-market that highlights the countless possibilities for reusing objects considered waste to raise awareness among citizens on circular issues. The event also involved the students from ITS Tullio Buzzi, who, together with the 2 professors who followed them during the process of building the Smart Bins, showed how the Bins work and their electronic components. Prato, a circular city, continues the collection of materials with the Smart Bins, carrying forward good practices that enhance it in the area and reinterpret the circular tradition of the textile district in a modern and innovative way.
Circular Wool Lab, Lottozero presents its INNOMED UP voucher's project
Prato, Lottozero Textile Laboratories launches Circular Wool Lab, a laboratory for the recovery of raw wool from waste, created through the purchase of specific processing equipment, made possible thanks to the funding of the INNOMED UP project vouchers, part of the ENI CBC MED Programme, of which the Municipality of Prato is a partner. Lottozero, at its space, provides the machinery for artists and craftsmen who wish to create projects that relate art and the themes of recovery and circularity, especially in the textile sector.Guns for tafting, carding machine and spinning machine are some of the equipment present at the Lottozero Laboratory. The difficulty of finding these machines for use on a small scale and not for industrial production gave rise to the idea in the team, from which the winning project was born. “Our vision for this project is to give new life to a wasted raw material; we are transforming Tuscan rustic wool, coming from meat or dairy sheep, which is not considered interesting in the textile industry into a material for industrial and commercially desirable products, adding value through high impact design, creativity and high quality automated processes" This project has allowed Lottozero to intensify research and innovation projects on rustic wool material and to improve the experimentation offer aimed at the young creatives of the area.

The MOEBEUS Team from Prato launches its Innovative Pilot
The Moeabeus company has developed an innovative product within the INNOMED UP project which provides an analysis of the sustainable and circular strategies of companies, to implement new measures where it is necessary to improve results.

"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.
