IB Applied Circular Sustainability - project Neumühle

Andreas Fehr, co-founder of Neumühle, is intensively engaged with the question of how to develop sustainable, circular fashion.

With his latest product Mono Vest he was supported by the Innovation Booster as part of the Circular Campaigns and tells in the fresh video what the support has brought him concretely

The Mono Vest FROM KERSTIN is a vest radically designed according to the principles of the circular economy. Unlike conventional textiles, which are always made of a mix of materials that is practically impossible to dissolve, the Mono Vest is made of only one family of materials.
