Itema has announced a strategic partnership with Ivy Decarb, a digital platform designed to help textile manufacturers measure and reduce their carbon footprint. The move signals a major step toward structured, data driven decarbonization in the weaving machinery space at a time when global buyers are tightening environmental benchmarks.

Ivy Decarb has emerged as a central marketplace that allows mills to compare machines based on energy consumption, emissions and overall climate impact. Users can track operational performance, evaluate capital choices and secure sustainability linked financing through collaborations that the platform has built with regional financial institutions. The initiative aligns with the textile sector’s accelerating push toward net zero transition. Global textile and apparel supply chains account for nearly 8% of worldwide emissions, according to recent industry estimates.

Itema is among the first global machinery manufacturers to join the platform. The company’s Chief Sales and Service Officer, Matteo Mutti, stated that sustainability remains a core priority for the group and expressed confidence that Itema’s weaving technology will gain increased visibility for its low energy profile through Ivy Decarb. Technical teams from the two organisations are developing evaluation criteria that will help standardise how machinery sustainability is measured across the sector.

The partnership aims to strengthen collaborative action among mills, machinery makers, brands and lenders. Stakeholders expect that transparent data and verifiable benchmarks will accelerate low carbon investments across weaving clusters in India, Europe and Asia.
