With the launch of this innovative product, the Zurich-based company is taking an important new step toward its circular economy vision. Thinking and acting in a circular way is an integral part of Freitag’s DNA. The company’s vision is this: to create bags and accessories that are no longer just made from used materials, but are also circular. After three years dedicated to its development, Freitag is launching another circular innovation: the Mono[PA6] backpack is not only functional, durable and water-repellent, but also recyclable in its entirety and thus entirely circular. <\/span><\/p>\n

In order to simplify the recycling process as much as possible while also saving resources, the entire focus was on the monomaterial. The material chosen is polyamide 6 or PA6, better known as nylon: versatile, strong and multifaceted. But limiting oneself to this one material is easier said than done. A total of 17 PA6 components had to be sourced, all with specific requirements for textures and characteristics: from a water-repellent material for the main body to solid zippers to solutions for shoulder straps, labels, or stitching thread. <\/span><\/p>\n

Together with a textile industry partner in Taiwan, Freitag developed an innovative fabric that is both water-repellent and single-material. After a laborious development period, this innovative three-layer all-polyamide 6 fabric passed all tests.<\/p>\n
