Green Buddy Award 2025 - Circular Textiles for Sustainable B2B Solutions

Fabrics that leave no waste behind.

Processes that conserve resources. Solutions that last.

We have established ourselves as a pioneer in plastic-free and recyclable textile products. By combining innovation, sustainable production, and knowledge transfer, we offer companies solutions for a growing demand for truly ecological fashion. With our clear positioning, close partnerships with sustainable brands, and continuous development of new products, we ensure long-term growth and a strong market position.

This seems to have convinced the jury once again.

As a member of Fair Rubber e.V., we are committed to fair living and working conditions for rubber farmers and suppliers, also in order to make our supply structure more transparent. We pay an annual membership fee to enable audits of producers so that they do not have to pay for them themselves. In addition, we are committed to paying a fair trade premium to producers. We are also a member of the Circular Rubber Platform, an international movement that brings together forward-thinking companies, scientific institutions, start-ups, and the public to pool innovative circular solutions for rubber and develop joint strategies. We currently secure jobs in three Austrian ribbon weaving mills. Together with them, we are establishing new production branches for the processing of natural materials. We are fighting for genuine circularity in the textile industry based on the cradle-to-cradle principle. Because it's better for everyone!
