THE REGENSTECH PROJECT WINS THE WE AWARD WOMEN EXCELLENCE 2023 BY IL SOLE24ORE AND FINANCIAL TIMES FOR THE OPEN INNOVATION CATEGORY.
Maria Silvia Pazzi, founder of Regenstech, an innovative women's start-up and Benefit Society, which transforms civil and industrial textile waste into a second raw material, thanks to a unique patented technology, is the winner of the We Award Women Excellence 2023 by il Sole24Ore and Financial Times, for the Open Innovation category.
The 'Inspiring the Future' Gala evening with the awarding of the WE Award - Women Excellence tells great stories of women who have been able to achieve extraordinary results in various fields, such as business, leadership, art, science or public service, despite a not always favourable context.
Contributing to change and making a positive impact on society, these are the goals shared by the women protagonists of the We Award Women Excellence 2023, an award that aims to recognise, celebrate and honour talent, inspiring other women to pursue excellence in their respective areas of expertise.
The Regenstech project, born in 2019 from an idea by Maria Silvia Pazzi, has a clear and ambitious goal: to become the technological solution of reference for transforming industrial and civil textile waste into second raw material (MPS) with plastic properties.
With this award, the Jury of ilSole24Ore and Financial Times wanted to valorise the experience of women who have been able to achieve important results, such as that of Maria Silvia Pazzi, who with her innovative technological start-up has demonstrated tangible, concrete results with a high social value.
Regenstech is the result of the intuition and experience gained by the founder of Regenesi, a native circular brand and pioneer of green fashion, which acts precisely with a view to transforming waste into beauty, strongly believing in the synergy between different companies and realities. This project, born in 2008, not only focuses on creativity linked to the circular economy, with the aim of restoring dignity to post-consumer materials, but is also a reality capable of capturing the attention on a highly topical issue, initiating a social debate that involves everyone indiscriminately.
After developing more than 80 formulations and conducting extensive laboratory and industrial batch tests, Regenstech has proven the efficacy and reliability of its technology by taking important steps on its growth path. An initial round of financing from new investors is currently underway.
The aim is to accelerate the sustainable transition of the textile and fashion industry, through the use of an innovative system to transform textile waste into a unique and versatile material suitable for multiple applications.
Research and Development Investments were also made possible thanks to public funding, which saw the project as a unique opportunity to develop sustainable solutions.
Innovation that combines industrial automation technologies with materials engineering and green chemistry.
Between these two cities, Maria Silvia Pazzi's life has developed both personally and professionally. Mother of four children, she has realised a concept of creativity, innovation and aesthetic research through Regenesi and Regenstech. These companies focus on the idea of peer-to-peer collaboration, combining the tradition of Italian craftsmanship with material technologies, the collaboration of international designers and the potential of artificial intelligence.
A vision that leads Maria Silvia Pazzi to always look beyond with the ability to transform ideas into concrete facts, and as of tomorrow will see her projected into a new challenge: to contribute to the regeneration of urban territories by making available her skills and knowledge in the field of circular economy, giving life to recycling and upcycling workshops in which to spread the culture of sustainability of conscious consumption.
Projects that find the consent and support of institutions and strongly want to be decisive in leaving our children a better world.
