May 2026
The event is scheduled for 22 May 2026 and will take the form of a workshop exploring the opportunities offered by circularity within the supply chain.
Unione Stilisti, in collaboration with Olians Plast, Re.Nova Plast and Flowability, is organising a discussion session dedicated to sustainability in the footwear district, with the aim of providing practical tools to tackle the transition towards circularity in a complex economic context.
22 May 2026
from 5.00 pm to 7.30 pm
Auditorium Quota CS
Via Pozzetto 3, Sant’Elpidio a Mare
The initiative stems from the realisation that many companies in the supply chain still face difficulties in integrating sustainability into their production models, partly due to recent economic challenges. In this context, sustainability is proposed as a concrete lever for innovation, efficiency and competitive strengthening.
The meeting, moderated by Sara Di Battista, features a programme structured around four key themes:
• Regulations and the transformation of the supply chain: with Marco Capellini (Matrec), Luca Campadello (Erion Textile) and Giulia Caldon (Ez lab)
• Integrated technologies to support businesses: with Marco Cappellini (Matrec) and Simone Lastrucci (WTrendy)
• Value preservation and recovery processes: with Francesco Cognigni (Olians Group) and Elisabetta Pieragostini (Da.Mi)
• Governance, organisation and financial instruments: with Alessandro Baccani (Aneway) and Rito Straccia (Banco Marchigiano)
The aim is to facilitate a meaningful dialogue between businesses and operators in the supply chain, demonstrating how sustainability can be transformed from a constraint into a real opportunity for the district.
