Close to Nature
since 1997
Founded in 1997, Miko S.r.l. is the Italian
company that has launched Dinamica® by Miko,
the first ecological microfiber of high performance
for many sectors of application. Also quoted in
the Eurispes Report 2008 among the best Italian
Excellence, Miko is partner of Asahi Kasei, a
leading Japanese company, which provides the raw
base for the production of Dinamica®.
In 2015, Miko was acquired by Sage Automotive
Interior, one of the world’s leading providers of
automotive bodycloth with headquarters in South
Carolina (U.S.).
• Miko’s attention to environmental issues is in compliance
with the standard ISO 14001.
• Its production processes are certified to ISO 9001
and ISO/TS 16949.
We are young and we believe
in our work
We are aware that our actions have important consequences
Miko formally adopts the Organization and
Management Model (Modello di Organizzazione
e Gestione), pursuant to Legislative Decree no.
231/01 (Liability of legal persons), together with the
relevant Code of Ethics and Conduct.
This fundamental document is geared to ensure
fairness and transparency in the conduct of business
and corporate activities, to protect its position and
image.
Dinamica® is a microfiber made of recycled
polyester, deriving from polyester fibres, and
water-borne polyurethane. Its production process
is similar to that used for paper recycling, in which
no harmful chemical substances are used. During
dyeing, the use of neutral, non-toxic coloring agents
is a further guarantee of the product’s naturalness
and respect for health and the environment.
• Recycling polyester means reducing energy consumption
and CO2 emissions into the atmosphere by 80% compared to
the traditional petrol-based polyester production process.
• Dinamica® for upholstery is certified according to the Oeko-
Tex® Standard 100 class I.
and so we have created a product
that respects the World in which
we live
Our contribution is small but
necessary
Over the years, Miko has demonstrated its
constant and active commitment in preventing
and minimizing the impacts of its processes and
products on the environment. Miko guarantees eco-
sustainability along the whole Dinamica® production
cycle, ensuring a low level of polluting emissions and
energy consumption during production. Dinamica® is
designed for easy disposal, and is 100% recyclable at
the end of its useful life.
• In November 2011, Miko installed a photovoltaic plan of
1 mega watt saving almost 450 t of CO2 emissions into the
atmosphere per year.
• Starting from 2013, Miko has optimized the production
cycles leading to a significant reduction of the consumption of
energy, water and chemicals.
• In recent years, Miko has received several important awards
demonstrating an appreciation for its corporate philosophy and
products by committees of experts in the environmental field.
Best product of the year
The EPD® certification, the most advanced
Environmental Product Declaration for products in
accordance with ISO 14025 standards, is the ultimate
step in Miko’s commitment to the environment. The
EPD® provide a transparent system for comparing
environmental data of similar products, based on
scientific and international principles.
• Since the year 2010, it has adopted an approach towards Life
Cycle Thinking and credible communication of its products
against greenwashing.
• The environmental performance of Dinamica® Auto has been
assessed using the Life Cycle Assessment analysis (LCA)
from cradle to gate in conformity with the ISO 14040 standards.
• In July 2012, Dinamica® Auto and Dinamica® Auto Pure
obtained the EPD® certification. This has laid the basis of a
bigger project that was completed in 2013 with the EPD®
Process Certification.
