Kimood K-Loop

Sustainable bag made from recycled cotton and recycled polyester. Long handles for carrying by hand or over the shoulder. This bag is part of the "K-loop" project.

Recycled cotton and polyester recycling. Flat shopping bag with handles made from the same fabric as the bag, 70 cm long. With this project, Kimood completes the cycle of the circular economy in a more specific sense. The cotton used comes from waste generated during the production of cotton items by the Kariban brand and the Kariban Brands product line. The added polyester comes from the recycling of PET plastic bottles.

During the recycling process, tracers are added to the yarn, which are viscose and ceramic filaments that serve as a unique digital imprint. The tracers reflect light in a unique way and therefore carry a distinct and unchangeable code. This allows us to uniquely store all information about the processes the yarn has undergone in a blockchain. With the Aware™ Tracer technology and the corresponding blockchain platform, Kimood enables the end consumer to trace the entire production process. This ensures that the product was indeed recycled using its own waste and without any potential alterations to the process. A special label with a QR code provides access to the Aware™ platform and allows for direct authentication of certifications via a simple smartphone.
