CNMI SUSTAINABLE FASHION AWARDS 2025 REGENESI WINS THE CIRCULAR ECONOMY AWARD

Regenesi, founded in 2008 by visionary entrepreneur Maria Silvia Pazzi, received the prestigious Circular Economy Award at the Sustainable Fashion Awards 2025.

The renowned event, organized annually by the National Chamber of Italian Fashion, took place on September 27 at the Teatro alla Scala in Milan, during Milan Fashion Week.

Maria Silvia Pazzi was honored by Greta Ferro, an Italian actress and model with a strong commitment to the environment, who enthusiastically embraced the values and ambitions of the sustainable design pioneer.

Regenesi represents a revolutionary approach to circular fashion, demonstrating that there is no contradiction between beauty and sustainability: the most authentic design today is born precisely from the encounter between ethics, technology, and creativity.
The "from waste to beauty" vision that has guided Maria Silvia Pazzi for over seventeen years explores the possibility of transforming waste into new beauty, paving the way for a fashion capable of regenerating and regenerating itself.

Maria Silvia Pazzi's determination to find innovative solutions to environmental problems led her, in 2020, to found Regenstech—a spin-off of Regenesi—with the goal of developing technologies capable of regenerating textile waste to ensure the sustainability of the fashion industry.
Thanks to its patented Respetto™ technology, Regenstech transforms all textile waste—of plant, animal, synthetic, or mixed origin—into secondary raw materials without the need for sorting, producing regenerated and regenerable materials with plastic properties.

"Receiving this award in the Circular Economy Award category is a great honor for me, not only as a personal recognition, but also as a testament to the value of the Camera Nazionale della Moda Italiana project, which has brought substance and prestige to the work of all of us.
Like many colleagues, I believe in research and innovation as tools to make fashion—one of the most polluting industries—and design not only beautiful, but profoundly sustainable, capable of combining creativity and responsibility towards our planet. Fashion must reinvent itself: thanks to new technologies, new materials, new forms of beauty, and new potential will emerge. Authentic beauty is yet to come. True beauty is sustainable. And sustainability is the new beauty". Maria Silvia Pazzi 

Recognizing Regenesi and Regenstech with the Sustainable Fashion Award means not only highlighting their past contributions, but also supporting the vision of a future in which sustainability, technological innovation, creativity, and beauty converge to transform the fashion industry from within.
