CDC_STUDIO is an incubator of ideas for the research and development of sustainable solutions for the fashion and textile industry. The start-up has created two highly innovative technologies – CŌĒO and MIKTÒS – which aim at the transformation and finishing of textile waste in the fashion sector. CŌĒO is the first coating that comes 100% from end-of-life packaging. It can be used on all types of fabrics and leather, allowing inventory and defective products to be recovered and given a second life. The process patented by CDC_STUDIO allows you to obtain a new fabric that is waterproof, windproof, durable and intended for multiple sectors. Instead, MIKTÒS is a process that recovers textile processing scraps of mixed composition, creating a compound similar to recycled plastic.
In 2023 CDC_STUDIO participated in the Call for Impact of Get it!. After completing an acceleration path, in June 2024 it was selected as “Best Start-up For Impact” at the Investor Day of Get it!, benefiting from an investment of €80,000 from Fondazione Social Venture Giordano Dell’Amore, strategic and operational arm of Fondazione Cariplo in the field of impact investing and promoter of the program, in partnership with Cariplo Factory.
