Gabriel LOOP: Creating sustainable textiles with a circular business model
Gabriel LOOP is a closed-loop take-back system that diverts textile waste from landfills and reduces reliance on virgin resources, strengthening the transition to a circular economy. With a focus on textile-to-textile recycling, Gabriel LOOP transforms discarded materials into premium-quality fabrics that meet the highest standards of design and durability, addressing the urgent textile waste challenge.
Transforming the approach to design with circular principles
The textile industry is one of the most impacting industries in the world, partly due to the consumption of finite resources. Gabriel LOOP enables real change by decoupling the production of new textiles from the use of new resources. Instead, they use what is already in circulation.
Gabriel LOOP sets new standards in the textile industry, demonstrating how recycling can be fully integrated into production processes to create sustainable textiles. Through its innovative take-back system, Gabriel LOOP recycles textile scraps from production and customer sources, combining textile waste with recycled plastic bottles to create new designs. Each Gabriel LOOP product is traceable and fully recyclable, designed to re-enter the loop at the end of its lifecycle while still meeting high standards comparable to virgin materials. With the introduction of the first product in 2023, Gabriel LOOP shows that a circular business model is possible without compromising product properties or lifespan.
Gabriel LOOP is not just about recycling; it is about transforming the approach to design. Their fabrics blend robust durability with sophisticated aesthetics, proving that sustainable choices enhance, rather than compromise, beauty. The Gabriel LOOP collection of products includes five distinctive fabrics, each with its own unique character. From the bold, architectural textures of Future Loop to the retro-modern, playful design of Parcel Loop and the durable but colourfully vibrant Amaze Loop, the Gabriel LOOP collection proves that circular design can enhance both aesthetic and functional quality.
Gabriel LOOP is a Danish Design Award 2024 shortlist finalist.
