K-loop recycled cotton backpack

Backpack with front pocket. This backpack is part of the “K-loop” project. With this project, Kimood is closing the circular economy loop in the strict sense of the word. The cotton used comes from waste generated in the production of cotton items for the Kariban brand, and the KARIBAN BRANDS range. The added polyester comes from recycled PET plastic bottles. During the recycling process, tracers are added to the yarn in the form of viscose and ceramic filaments to act as a unique digital fingerprint. The tracers reflect light in a unique way and therefore carry a clear and tamper-proof code. This allows us to unequivocally store in a blockchain all the information from the processes the yarn has been subjected to. Thanks to the Aware™ tracer technology and associated blockchain platform, Kimood allows the end consumer to track the entire production process. This guarantees that the product has been recycled using its own waste, with no possible alterations in the process. A special label with a QR code provides access to the Aware™ platform for direct authentication of certifications using a smartphone.
