As an independent company focused entirely on responsible chemistry for textiles, we own the REVECOL® by ERCA TCS brand and are part of ERCA SPA, an innovation-driven chemical group with manufacturing plants in Europe, Latin America, and Asia. ERCA SPA focuses on the development and manufacturing of chemical specialties and intermediates.
What’s REVECOL® by TCS?
It is a 100% Made in Italy breakthrough industry innovation that upcycles critical waste material such as vegetable exhausted cooking oil, into a complete, safe, certified, market competitive, high performing new generation line of chemical auxiliaries for the whole textile industry. The current range includes 18 new generation chemical auxiliaries, for which REVECOL® has the most important certifications: GRS, RCS, ZDHC Chemical Gateway, bluesign® and GOTS.
ERCA TCS is the first company in the world to have GRS certified chemical products, opening the door to responsible chemical auxiliaries. In particular, with the support and analysis of bluesign® Academy ERCA TCS is creating, where possible, product carbon tootprints (PCF) for some REVECOL® products, certifying the reduction of CO2 emissions compared to the use of conventional chemistry. From the first results of this work, we see a CO2 reduction that goes from 30% to 72%!
REVECOL® by ERCA TCS was first launched at the giant ITMA textile machinery show in Milan, where we announced the synergy between ERCA TCS’S REVECOL®, YKK™ and Patagonia® that lead to a successful implementation. This approach sets new standards for the industry, proving that environmental responsibility and economic success can go hand in hand.
