HANOVER – Inspired by the environmental benefits of its latest garment design, project partners Houdini and Polartec have introduced Project Mono Air, an open-source initiative which will afford others in industry insight into how the pair produced their Mono Air Houdi which reduces microfibre emission by 5x compared to other fleexe fabrics on the market.
“Our vision is to enable a waste-free world where people can enjoy nature experiences without negatively impacting the environment,” said Eva Karlsson, CEO at Houdini. “We all share the problems that are caused by unsustainable design and manufacturing, so why not share the solutions to tackle them? One garment is not going to solve the problem, but we hope it can be one step on the way towards speeding up the pace of innovation – and hopefully spark change even beyond the textile industry.”
