Measuring Environmental Impact with Transparency and Accountability
This report tracks Nassimi's progress across ecological and social impact, material innovation, and responsible governance, setting clear, measurable targets for accountability. Ongoing operational initiatives include increased energy efficiency, water reclamation systems, waste reduction, recycling programs, and renewable energy solutions across facilities and carefully selected partners.
Nassimi collaborates with production partners who share its values, from responsible manufacturing practices and products to a strong commitment to workplace safety and maintaining recognized third-party certifications.
These efforts reflect Nassimi's commitment to minimizing environmental impact at every stage of production. By 2030, Nassimi is committed to a 25% reduction in:
- Emissions: Cutting greenhouse gases (Scope 1 & 2)
- Energy: Reducing total consumption
- Water: Optimizing usage across supply chain
- Waste: Minimizing material loss
Advancing Safer, Sustainable Materials through Innovation
The reported advancements underscore the company's focus on creating sustainable high-performance textiles that meet rigorous environmental standards without compromising durability or design.
Case Study: SiO™ Performance Silicone and Closed-Loop Production – Water use and emissions are pressing challenges in global manufacturing, with industrial operations consuming over 18 billion gallons of water daily, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. To reduce impact, Nassimi reengineered its silicone production, and in partnership with a new manufacturer, SiO™, a high-purity silicone resin is now produced using a closed-loop thermal curing process.
- The new process replaces traditional water- and solvent-based methods, eliminating water usage, VOC emissions, and solvent drying systems.
- These efforts resulted in zero water waste, net-neutral greenhouse gas emissions, and lower energy consumption through faster production cycles.
Investment in Energy and Waste Reduction
In 2024, Nassimi reduced energy usage across major product categories, with the largest decrease in woven textiles and Supreen production.
Supreen: Fabric Waste Recycling – Nassimi achieved a significant reduction in waste at the Supreen and textile production facility, driven by investment in recycling yarn and fiber waste. Reclaimed materials from woven textile production are now incorporated into select fabric lines. In parallel, a partnership with the weaving facility and qualified third-party providers ensures responsible management of manufacturing waste.
Writer's Block Polyurethane: Intelligent Manufacturing System – In 2024, Nassimi's polyurethane production partner invested nearly $2 million, enabling an advanced intelligent manufacturing system at a primary production facility. Now in its second year of performance tracking, the system provides real-time monitoring and optimization of energy use, equipment performance, and production efficiency, driving a 42% reduction in energy consumption.
