Hajo Medium Pannier Backpack

New

Let’s put sweaty backs to history while introducing one of the slickest and most minimal pannier editions to the market. The mounting works with a hook & loop system, which can be attached in no time through a durable metal buckle. While you wear the backpack on your back it is hardly visible, because it is placed in the upper part of the shoulder straps. Just the perfect companion for commuting around the city. This pannier edition of the Hajo Backpack also features a g-buckle and zipper closure, so adapt the volume however needed. A quick access on the rear allows you to enter the main compartment through a vertical zipper.

The Lotus Infinity Series is crafted from 'PUrTEX∞' - a custom ultra-durable tech material that Ucon Acrobatics developed over several years. It is made from recycled textile waste and finished with a rigid coating of solvent-free polyurethane (PU).

Materials

'PUrTEX∞' is a custom ultra-durable tech material. Ucon Acrobatics has developed this progressive material over several years - which is second to none. Increased longevity - reduced thickness. Lower ecological footprint and steps into circularity. It is made from recycled textile waste and finished with a rigid coating of solvent-free polyurethane (PU). The PU foam layer has a cross-link structure, so the functional aspects are similar to molded rubber. The high performance has been proven in test results. The surface adhesion strength is four times better and the scratch resistance even improved over 100 times compared to conventional artificial leather. Furthermore, PU making is free of solvents such as DMF and VOC. The CO2e is reduced by over - 50%, the energy is reduced by over -40% and comes mainly from renewable sources. For the base of the material, post-consumer textile waste is transformed into recycled PET yarn in a chemical recycling process. The resource-saving spin dyeing process ("dope dye") is applied even before the interlock fabric is knitted. The savings of this are huge - water consumption is reduced by up to -90%, chemical consumption by up to -80%, energy consumption and CO2e emissions by up to -50%.

Components

  • Main Shell Material: 51% Polyurethane (PU), 49% Polyester (rPET) fiber-to-fiber recycled from post-consumer textile waste, dope-dyed
  • Secondary Shell Material: 54% Polyester (rPET) fiber-to-fiber recycled from pre-consumer/ post-consumer textile waste, dope-dyed, 46% thermoplastic Polyethylene (TPE)
  • Inner Material: 100% Polyester (rPET) fiber-to-fiber recycled from pre-consumer/ post-consumer textile waste, dope-dyed
  • Cushion Material: 100% Polyester (rPET) fiber-to-filler recycled from pre-consumer textile waste
  • Webbing Band: 100% Polyester (rPET) fiber-to-fiber recycled from pre-consumer/ post-consumer textile waste, dope-dyed
  • Metal Hardware: 100% Iron (FE), painted

Sustainability is deeply rooted in the DNA of our company. As a value-driven company, we share common convictions and want to lead the circular economy in our field.

Design Principles

Our design developments focus on durability, as bags and backpacks are meant to be used daily and intensively for years. Minimalist design is also timeless design and in the best case, also extends the period of us.

We consider the impact of production with every new product and the entire life cycle. We thoroughly research materials, processes and emerging technologies to understand and reduce the environmental footprint of each product. In the shift from a linear to a circular economy, all components must undergo a review based on the following criteria:

  1. Reduced environmental impact
  2. Longevity
  3. Recyclability


Mono-Material Products

A mono-material is only composed of a single type of material so they are typically easier to recycle than products made from different things. Also, the higher the material purity, the less energy is needed for chemical recycling. Our goal is to create products from 100% recycled mono-materials from our own industry - in our case PET from fashion waste. The following two recycling methods are essential to make products from old textiles.

Fiber-to-Fiber Recycling

This method is a closed-loop process where used textile fibers are transformed into new fibers for creating new textile products, reducing waste and maximizing material reuse. The method we use is called chemical recycling based on glycolysis.

Fiber-to-Filler Recycling

Mixed textiles are hard to recycle and often end up in landfills or get burned. We have found a way to put them to good use. They are incorporated as filling materials in non-visible parts of our bags and backpacks.

Dope Dye

Dope dyeing is a process that adds color to fibers before they are spun into yarn. The savings are huge - water consumption is reduced by up to -90%, chemical consumption by up to -80%, energy consumption and CO2e emissions by up to -50%. UV stability is also significantly better, as is color fastness to rubbing.
