Sustainability
Since 1887, LAMPO has combined Italy’s distinguished manufacturing tradition with a deeply innovative and responsible vision. Today, the company goes beyond the simple use of recycled materials. It pursues a long-term strategy centred on people’s well-being, care for the local area and environmental protection. The key word is “transparency”: every initiative, certification and improvement is clearly documented to demonstrate a genuine and verifiable commitment.
Low-Impact Manufacturing and the Circular Economy
Maintaining control over what we create is essential. For this reason, LAMPO manages all the main stages of zip fastener production in-house, from weaving to electroplating, ensuring the highest quality. In recent years, the company has transformed its factories by investing in sustainability:
- It has installed a new electroplating plant that increases production while reducing water consumption and waste.
- It has upgraded its dyeing facility to reduce the use of water, chemicals and energy.
- It produces an increasing amount of clean energy through photovoltaic systems installed at its manufacturing sites.
- It has completely removed fibre cement from its buildings.
- It has introduced energy-efficient LED lighting.
The circular economy is now standard practice. The company recycles paper for its packaging and continuously recovers brass, steel, zinc alloy and textile waste, returning these materials to industrial supply chains.
Certifications: Facts, Not Just Words
LAMPO entrusts the verification of its work to the most rigorous international standards:
- OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100: Products in the ECO range have held this certification for over twenty years. They are classified as “Class I”, the strictest class, making them suitable even for babies.
- Greenpeace Detox Commitment: Since 2015, LAMPO has participated in this voluntary programme to progressively eliminate hazardous chemicals from its manufacturing processes.
- GRS (Global Recycled Standard): Obtained in 2022, this certification ensures the traceability and proper management of recycled materials throughout the tape manufacturing process.
- Health, Safety and Environment: The company operates with sites certified to ISO 14001 for environmental management and ISO 45001 for occupational health and safety.
- TF – Traceability & Fashion: A concrete commitment to enhancing transparency and the certified origin of the Made in Italy supply chain.
Product Innovation: Sustainability You Can Wear
LAMPO’s offering is evolving along three sustainable pathways:
- Recycled Materials: Zips are manufactured with tapes made from 70% GRS-certified recycled polyester. LAMPO also uses ECONAMID®, a plastic material derived from textile industry waste.
- Natural Materials: LAMPO offers zip fasteners made from premium GOTS-certified organic cotton.
- The Mono-Material Zip: A genuine innovation designed with the product’s end of life in mind. This zip is made almost entirely from a single family of materials, PA 66, an engineering solution that makes recycling significantly easier.
Ethics, People and the Local Community
A company is made not only of products, but also of people. Guided by its Code of Ethics, LAMPO has been a pioneer in corporate welfare since 1996. Its employee initiatives are designed to improve quality of life:
- Flexible working hours to support a better work-life balance.
- Solidarity leave programmes and healthcare support.
- Meaningful financial support for employees facing difficult circumstances.
Finally, LAMPO’s positive impact extends beyond the factory gates. The company actively supports its community by funding local social, educational, cultural and sporting initiatives.
