New product launched in partnership with Candiani Denim for the
textile industry
Partnership to introduce GRAPHITO, a ground-breaking eco-denim
textile, marks a milestone in the sustainable fashion industry
Directa Plus (AIM: DCTA), a leading producer and supplier of
graphene nanoplatelets based products for use in consumer and
industrial markets, today announces the launch of a new product,
GRAPHITO, in collaboration with Candiani Denim (Candiani), an
international textile producer based in Italy, focused on
innovation and sustainability. GRAPHITO is an eco-denim textile and
represents a significant advancement in the sustainable fashion
industry by addressing denim's environmental impact and extending
the lifespan of denim garments.
GRAPHITO comprises of Directa Plus' patented technology, G+(R)
Graphene, which enhances a fabric with antimicrobial and thermal
properties, along with Candiani Denim's bio-based polymer,
Kitotex(R), which replaces liquid plastic (PVA) in textile
production processes, making GRAPHITO denim unique and unrivalled.
The enhanced properties of the material will see a significant
reduction in water usage, energy consumption and carbon emissions
of up to 75% in the garment's wash lifecycle, as the material's
antibacterial and antiviral properties allows for up to 10 wears
per lifecycle. G+(R) Graphene's thermoregulating properties also
make it a cross-seasonal denim fabric.
The launch of GRAPHITO denim marks a significant milestone in
the quest for eco-friendly fashion, offering consumers a premier
denim choice that combines style, performance, and a reduced
environmental footprint. GRAPHITO denim is launching today in
Candiani Denim's flagship store in Milan, Italy.
Candiani was founded in 1938 and has grown to become one of the
world's most sustainable denim factories, creating premium fabrics,
using eco-friendly techniques. Candiani supplies and partners with
some of the world's best known fashion brands, including Hugo Boss,
Stella McCartney, and Steve Aoki.
Commenting, Giulio Cesareo, Founder and CEO of Directa Plus,
said :
"The sustainable graphene nanoplatelets produced by Directa Plus
are designed to bring significant advantages to the environment for
the end users and for our industrial partners.
"We are delighted to launch this ground-breaking new product, in
partnership with Candiani, to offer consumers a product that
addresses the environmental concerns of denim and sustainable
fashion, and to prolong the lifespan of a garment. We are also
pleased to have achieved this in collaboration with Candiani Denim,
showcasing Italy's contribution to sustainable innovation and
technology in the global textile industry."

Notes to Editors
Directa Plus (www.directa-plus.com) is one of the largest
producers and suppliers of graphene-based products for use in
consumer and industrial markets. The Company's graphene
manufacturing capability uses proprietary patented technology based
on a plasma super expansion process. Starting from natural
graphite, each step of Directa Plus' production process -
expansion, exfoliation and drying - creates graphene-based
materials and hybrid graphene materials ready for a variety of uses
and available in various forms such as powder, liquid and
paste.
This proprietary production process uses a physical process,
rather than a chemical process, to process graphite into pristine
graphene nanoplatelets, which enables Directa Plus to offer a
sustainable, non-toxic product, without unwanted by-products.
Directa Plus' products are made of hybrid graphene materials and
graphene nano-platelets. The products (marketed as G+(R)) have
multiple applications due to its properties. These G+(R) products
can be categorised into various families, with different products
being suitable for specific practical applications.
Directa Plus was established in 2005 and is based in Lomazzo
(Como, Italy) and has been listed on the AIM market of the London
Stock Exchange since May 2016. Directa Plus holds the Green Economy
Mark from London Stock Exchange which recognises companies that
contribute to the global green economy.
