Why did start this project?
Shortage of raw materials
Waste generation
A growing world population
Ecological disasters
![Page 3: Why did start this project? - European Commissionec.europa.eu/environment/archives/ecoinnovation2015/1st... · 2016. 5. 30. · Life Cycle Analysis Environmental: Because the fabrics](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022071406/60fcbebbe8871b71d104bbb3/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
The circular economy
All our products are suitable for re-use in the circular economy
20% is about the products, 80% about the process
Fair trade and partnerships
Take responsibility for our planet, the people and the materials we use

What do we do?
We design 100% recyclable fabrics
We design supply chains
We use new business models: performance based and
service contracts
We develop a Circular Content Management System to
control the chain

Closed loop – Circular Economy
![Page 7: Why did start this project? - European Commissionec.europa.eu/environment/archives/ecoinnovation2015/1st... · 2016. 5. 30. · Life Cycle Analysis Environmental: Because the fabrics](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022071406/60fcbebbe8871b71d104bbb3/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Objectives of the project
INDUSTRIALIZE: To industrialize the product and the production processes.
CLOSED LOOP (CIRCULAR ECONOMY): To close the first worldwide cradle to cradle chain of sustainable textiles.
PILOT: To carry out pilots to support market uptake and introducing a closed up cycle chain.
DEMONSTRATE: To demonstrate the environmental and economic impacts (Eco-Innovation) achieved compared to the conventional process.
PROMOTE: To promote market application of the innovative business approach (= sales of the work wear).

Research and Development for Industrialization
Improve the material/product
Testing materials and styles
Different needs for materials
High visibility
Anti-static
Waterproof
Flame retardance
Different performances
Different markets – work wear, corporate wear, hospitality

We started up small pilot projects to test the materials, styles and the chain

Developing the business case
• Lease contracts
• Performance based service
• Management tools to save hidden costs in the supply
chain
• Business model for recycling
Demonstrate

Life Cycle Analysis
Environmental: Because the fabrics we use are recyclable, we generate no waste, produce 50% less water energy and 20% less CO2 than conventional work wear
Social: With all the toxicities related to water including inhalation, ingestion of produce, fish, and meat, and dermal contact with water and soil, the direct impact on humans is naturally also high for cotton, 18 kg 1,4 DB, whereas Infinity fabrics score 6 kg 1,4 DB
Costs to taxpayer: Recycling: 0,09 euros, 0,16 euros for incineration, 2,92 euros for landfill
