Problem
In Spain, over 120,000 tonnes of clothing are discarded annually, with 73% ending up in landfills or being incinerated. Across the EU, textile waste exceeds 6.95 million tonnes per year, yet only a small fraction is collected separately for reuse or recycling, while new regulations are pushing for much higher recovery rates.

Each piece is engineered for high resistance and durability, integrating seamlessly into public spaces, storefronts, and events while supporting circular economy commitments.
