X-loop is the first 100% recycled and recyclable technical T-shirt, made from used tennis racket strings and plastic bottles, collected from sports stores and partner tournaments.
THE + OF THE PROJECT IN TERMS OF CIRCULAR FASHION :
→ Reduce the impact of the T-shirt's raw material by replacing virgin polyester with recycled polyester, and increase its recyclability by replacing a material mix with recyclable mono-material.
→ Increase the recyclability of the rope industry by implementing both a collection process and a recycling process.
→ Raise awareness among distributors (stores, clubs, committees) and players of their individual responsibilities in the end-of-life of products.
