Circular based chemistry applied to textile innovation recognised at Interzum Forum Italy 2026

ERCA Textile Chemical Solutions is proud to celebrate the achievement of Boyteks, awarded 1st Prize in the Innovation Category at the Interzum Forum Italy Award 2026 with Enviro, an innovative textile treated with chemicals based on vegetable cooking oil.

Presented during Interzum Forum Italy, one of the leading international events dedicated to the furniture, bedding, interior design and textile supply chain sectors, the award recognises solutions capable of driving innovation, performance and sustainability across the industry.

For ERCA TCS, this recognition is particularly meaningful as REVECOL® technology is one of the key ingredient to the development of ENVIRO the award-winning project, alongside the work carried out by Boyteks in synergy with ERCA Kimya, ERCA Group’s sister company in Türkiye.

Developed through the upcycling of exhausted vegetable cooking oil, REVECOL® is ERCA TCS’s certified range of textile chemical auxiliaries for pre-treatment, dyeing and finishing processes. By combining high performance with circular economy principles, REVECOL® helps transform waste-derived resources into valuable solutions for the textile industry. The technology is supported by internationally recognised standards including ISCC PLUS, bluesign®, GOTS and ZDHC, and has demonstrated CO₂ emission reductions of up to 72% compared to conventional alternatives through Product Carbon Footprint analyses conducted with bluesign® ACADEMY.

The award received by Enviro by  Boyteks highlights the growing demand for innovative solutions capable of combining performance, resource efficiency and sustainability. It also demonstrates how collaboration across the value chain — from textile manufacturers to chemical and technology partners — can accelerate the development of next-generation solutions and bring innovation successfully to market.

ERCA S.p.A. got ISCC PLUS Certification

A Strategic Move for the Future of REVECOL® by ERCA TCS

 

 

ERCA S.p.A., a leader in chemical innovation, exclusive manufacturer of REVECOL®, brand owned by ERCA Textile Chemical Solutions (ERCA TCS) an independent company within the same group, specialized in supplying chemical solutions for the textile industry is proud to announce its transition to ISCC PLUS certification (International Sustainability and Carbon Certification), confirming its ongoing commitment to bioeconomy and circular economy practices and certified innovation. This strategic decision comes in response to recent discussions within industry, including the potential shift by Textile Exchange toward certifying only fiber content — a move that no longer aligns with ERCA TCS’s integrated sustainability approach. The company has therefore moved to ISCC PLUS: a globally recognized certification system that ensures the traceability and transparency of bio-circular, bio-based, and recycled feedstocks across the value chain. The process began with REVECOL® by ERCA TCS at the production site of ERCA SPA. With our new ISCC PLUS certification, which now represents another milestone in the industry, we are strengthening ERCA TCS’s leading position in the field of certified bio-circular chemistry.

Certified auxiliaries for the textile industry

ERCA is proud to be the first and only company worldwide to certify under ISCC PLUS the
output category: “Auxiliaries for the textile industry – Vegetable Oil Ethoxylates, Alkylamide–Bio-Circular”. These products, especially developed for the REVECOL® brand are linked to upcycled raw materials such as biocircular Vegetable Cooking Oil (UCO), under the mass balance approach, represent decisive achievement in green chemistry.

Why ISCC PLUS?

ISCC PLUS provides:

  • Independent third-party verification
  • A robust mass balance approach for tracking bio-circular and recycled feedstocks
  • Alignment with the major number of the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
  • Enhanced transparency and credibility for clients and stakeholders

By adopting this certification, ERCA aims to:

  • Reduce its carbon footprint
  • Increase traceability throughout its supply chain
  • Strengthen its ESG positioning
  • Support customers in meeting their sustainability targets

With this step, ERCA S.p.A. and ERCA TCS once again demonstrate their pioneering role in the sector, offering innovative and certified products that anticipate the market's future needs.

ISCC Founded in 2010 through a multi-stakeholder initiative, the International Sustainability and Carbon Certification (ISCC) is a globally applicable and leading
certification system designed to enhance traceable, sustainable, deforestation-free, and climate-friendly supply chains. ISCC certifications are widely recognised and
cover sustainable agricultural biomass, biogenic wastes and residues, non-biological renewable materials and recycled carbon-based materials. The development and
implementation of different certification standards is ISCC’s tool to promote its mission to mitigate climate change and bring more traceability into global markets and
supply chains. The ISCC PLUS standard, in particular, supports the transition to a circular economy and bioeconomy. This voluntary certification standard validates the
sustainability characteristics of alternative feedstocks throughout the entire supply chain, from origin to end consumer. Discover more here
