Lavie: Kreislauffähige Heimtextilien

Mit der neuen Frühling-Sommer 2025 Kollektion zeigt lavie, dass Heimtextilien ein Auftrag für durchdachte Nachhaltigkeit sind. Als erste Cradle to Cradle Certified® Gold Bettwäsche von lavie, steht Frida für eine zirkuläre Produktion. Hinzu kommen Frottierwäsche Tom und Tilda undyed sowie die luftige Leinenbettwäsche Linus in frühlingshaftem Blau sky. Nach dem Prinzip «Mix & Match» lässt sich die neue Kollektion mit den bestehenden Textilien von lavie kombinieren. Vom Baumwoll-Material über die Farbstoffe bis hin zur Verarbeitung – alles ist frei von Schadstoffen und wird eines Tages in den Kreislauf zurückzukehren. Garngefärbt für langlebige Farbechtheit, bewahrt das Design Frida auch nach vielem Waschen seine natürliche Ausstrahlung.

Die neue Frottierwäsche Tom aus 100 % Bio-Baumwolle sorgt mit ihren weichen, wenig gedrehten Frottierschlingen für maximalen Komfort und Langlebigkeit. Dank garngefärbter Qualität bleiben die Farben auch nach vielem Waschen erhalten. Die ungefärbte Frottierwäsche Tilda undyed verzichtet vollständig auf Farbstoffe um die natürliche Schönheit der Bio-Baumwolle zu bewahren.

Die Linus-Bettwäsche erscheint in der neuen Farbe sky – ein frisches, klares Hellblau, das sich für laue Sommernächte eignet. Zusätzlich zur Bettwäsche ist das Linus Oberleintuch in sky erhältlich. Dank des Garment Wash Finish bietet Leinen eine extra Weichheit und einen casual Look.

In Kooperation mit CIRCULAR CLOTHING ist die erste Cradle to Cradle Certified® Gold Capsule Collection entstanden.

Die erste Cradle to Cradle Certified® Gold Capsule Collection
«Made to last» heißt die neuste Capsule Collection von lavie, die Cradle to Cradle Certified® Gold ausgezeichnet ist. Sie umfasst insgesamt 19 Varianten von Zierkissen und Kochschürzen, die alle aus Denim in Italien gewoben, genäht und teilweise mit Laser bearbeitet werden. Der Titel «made to last» steht zugleich für die Designmaxime, welche dem ganzen Sortiment des Heimtextilherstellers aus Langenthal zugrunde liegt.

Basis der Kollektion war der zertifizierte Denim in den Farben black, ecru und grey. Die Kollektion setzt sich aus unifarbenen Produkten sowie besonderen Highlights zusammen: Die Kissenbezüge Marylin und Geena etwa wurden mit Laser bearbeitet. Je nach Einstellung wird die Oberfläche des Denims entweder graviert oder das Textil wird ganz durchtrennt. Die Motive für die Lasergravur stammen von eigens angefertigten, analogen Cyanotypien.

Oberleintuchkollektion
Für die wärmere Jahreszeit lanciert lavie eine multifunktionale, GOTS zertifizierte Oberleintuchkollektion aus 100% Bio-Baumwolle. Ein Oberleintuch allein oder kombiniert mit einem Plaid ersetzt im Sommer das wärmende Duvet. Die Tücher sind ebenso praktische Begleiter an schönen Sommertagen und während lauen Nächten. So können diese auch als Tisch- und Picknickdecke oder als Zeltplane im Garten und auf der Terrasse eingesetzt werden.

Leinenbettwäsche
Linus, die Bettwäschekollektion aus 100% europäischem Leinen, hat antiallergische Eigenschaften, ist saugfähig, schnell trocknend, reissfest und pflegeleicht.
Oberleintuch, Fixleintuch, Kissen- und Duvetbezüge sind in diversen Grössen und verschiedenen Farben, neu auch in plum und oat erhältlich. Die Leinenbettwäsche ist nach OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 zertifiziert.

Circular Clothing: 30 neue Cradle to Cradle Certified® Produkte

Ein Jahr nach der Einführung der ersten Cradle to Cradle Certified® Kollektion werden über 30 neue zertifizierte Produkte der Circular Clothing Genossenschaftsmitglieder lavie, STUNED und the Blue suit auf den Markt gebracht.

Dank intensiver Forschung der letzten drei Jahre präsentiert die Circular Clothing Genossenschaft über 30 Cradle to Cradle Certified® Produkte in den Bereichen Mode, Accessoires und Heimtextilien. Um zertifiziert zu werden, wurden die verwendeten Materialien und Herstellungsprozesse in den folgenden Wirkungskategorien geprüft: Materialgesundheit, Produkt-Kreislauffähigkeit, saubere Luft und Klimaschutz, soziale Fairness sowie Wasser- und Bodenschutz. Je nachdem, wie weit all diese Kriterien bei der Herstellung erfüllt werden, gibt es verschiedene Zertifizierungsstufen von Bronze über Silber, bis zu Gold und Platin.

Zirkuläre Produktlösungen sind dank der engen Kollaboration und der Unterstützung von engagierten Partnern wie dem Migros-Pionierfonds, epeaswitzerland und der STF Schweizerische Textilfachschule möglich.

Blue suit
Wie muss ein Kleidungsstück designt sein, damit es kreislauffähig ist? Dies ist die zentrale Frage, die the Blue suit antreibt. Eine Antwort hierzu gibt der Cradle to Cradle®-Designansatz, der mit der Black Denim-Kollektion im Jahr 2022 umgesetzt wurde.

Der Cradle to Cradle® Designansatz beginnt bei der Materialwahl: verwendet werden nur Materialien ohne Giftstoffe, die gesund für Mensch und Umwelt sind. Ebenso wichtig ist, wie die Materialien verarbeitet, welche Farbstoffe eingesetzt werden und wie die Waschungen und Drucke erfolgen. Auch diese Produktionsschritte müssen Cradle to Cradle®-konform sein.

Die Black Denim-Kollektion wurde diesen Herbst um weitere Styles wie die Hosen ANN und SIMONE sowie den Blazern MARLENE und YOSANO ergänzt. Alle Produkte haben Cradle to Cradle Certified® Bronze erreicht. Ein Material-Highlight ist die Einführung der ersten Cradle to Cradle Certified® Bronze Business-Hose MILLER aus Wolle. Aus Qualitätsgründen wird ein nicht-zertifiziertes Nähgarn verwendet. Alle anderen Materialien der Kleidungsstücke sind Cradle to Cradle Certified® Gold.

«Made to last» zeigt auf, wie Design in einem Spannungsfeld entsteht: Zwischen der Lust an Gestaltung, den technischen Machbarkeiten und dem Anspruch an Funktionalität. Basis der Kollektion war der zertifizierte Denim in den Farben Black, Ecru und Grey. Die Kollektion setzt sich aus unifarbenen Produkten sowie besonderen Highlights zusammen: Die Kissenbezüge «Marilyn» und «Geena» etwa wurden mit Lasertechnologie bearbeitet. Je nach Einstellung des Lasers wird die Oberfläche des Denims entweder graviert oder das Textil wird ganz durchtrennt.

STUNED
Die Mission des Start-ups STUNED war immer, hochwertige Taschen zu kreieren, die im Einklang mit der Natur stehen. Bisher stand der Designprozess im Vordergrund und die Wahl der Komponenten war eine vergleichsweise einfache Aufgabe. Auf diese Weise kommen für ein Produkt schnell zwischen 10 bis 20 verschiedene Komponenten zusammen. Die Gründerinnen mussten aufgrund der begrenzten Verfügbarkeit von Cradle to Cradle Certified®-Materialien und der geforderten Mindestbestellmengen umdenken.

Was ist alles möglich mit einer minimalen Anzahl an Komponenten? Entstanden ist ein erweitertes Produktsortiment. Zusammen mit dem klaren Bekenntnis zur Nachhaltigkeit wird weiterhin an der Schweizer Fertigung festgehalten und neue Taschen und Kleider, die alle aus den gleichen vier Cradle to Cradle Certified® Gold Komponenten hergestellt sind. Sie liefern den Beweis, dass trotz minimalistischem Design auf nichts verzichtet werden muss.

Mit der innovativen Logistikimmobilie „Positive Footprint Wearhouse“ holt der niederländische Projektentwickler Delta Development den Denim Leader Levi Strauss & Co. in die Region und, realisiert gleichzeitig die deutschlandweit erste Logistikfläche, die dem Nachhaltigkeitsanspruch Cradle-to-Cradle® entspricht.

Circa 70.000 m² umfasst die neue Logistikimmobilie auf dem revitalisierten Bergbaustandort, die der Modemarke Levi Strauss für eine Mietdauer von 20 Jahren als Distributionszentrum dienen wird. Das C2C- Zentrum verfügt unter anderem über eine Material-Datenbank zur effizienten Wiederverwertung, höchster Materialgesundheit, nachhaltiges Energie- und Ressourcenmanagement sowie einem „Human Centered Design“. Das Großprojekt erfüllt die steigenden Nachhaltigkeitsansprüche an die Baubranche. Ein wesentlicher Fokus des Neubaus liegt auf der Verwendung von Materialien, die auf Wiederverwertung, Ressourcenschonung und Abfallreduktion ausgelegt sind. So wurden etwa Betonfundamente der stillgelegten Zeche Wulfen, die sich auf dem Entwicklungsgrundstück befunden haben, recycelt und anschließend im Neubau wiederverwendet.

CIRCULAR CLOTHING: First Cradle to Cradle Certified® denim collection

The first Cradle to Cradle Certified® clothing collection is on the market one year after the collaboration platform for Swiss textile labels was launched. The Circular Clothing cooperative has succeeded, in close cooperation with European suppliers, in gaining access to circular materials and equipment and using this for the Black Denim Collection by the ethical fashion label “the Blue suit”. An important step for the cooperative, which receives funding from the Migros Pioneer Fund, is the development of an online assessment tool which can be used to help check the readiness of textile labels to operate in a circular manner.

An important step for the cooperative, which receives funding from the Migros Pioneer Fund, is the development of an online assessment tool which can be used to help check the readiness of textile labels to operate in a circular manner.

The black denim was developed by a renowned manufacturer in Italy. Since no toxic chemicals are used in the production process, this denim is safe for biological cycles and Cradle to Cradle Certified® Gold. Cradle to Cradle Certified® Gold certified material by the Swiss company OceanSafe was used for the lining of the jacket. Special innovative design elements and production processes, such as the printed lining, also meet the stringent Cradle to Cradle Certified® Gold requirements. Currently, 1% of the material of the Black Denim Collection is Cradle to Cradle Certified® Bronze. In the next few months, this percent and thus also the whole garments should reach the gold level.

The Cradle to Cradle® certification is based on the following five principles: Material Health, Product Circularity, Clean Air & Climate Protection, Water & Soil Stewardship, and Social Fairness. Depending on the extent to which all of these criteria are met by the manufacturing process, there are various levels of certification from bronze to silver, gold and platinum.

DELTA plant landesweit erstes C2C®-Warenhaus für Levi Strauss & Co. (c) Delta/ Quadrant4

DELTA plant landesweit erstes C2C®-Warenhaus für Levi Strauss & Co.

Auf dem Grundstück des Industrieparks „Große Heide Wulfen“ lässt die DELTA Development Group derzeit das grünste Warenhaus Deutschlands entstehen: Mit der innovativen Logistik-Immobilie „Positive Footprint Wearhouse“ holt der niederländische Projektentwickler dabei nicht nur den Denim Leader Levi Strauss & Co. in die Region, sondern realisiert gleichzeitig die deutschlandweit erste Logistikfläche, die dem Nachhaltigkeitsanspruch Cradle-to-Cradle® entspricht.

Cradle-to-Cradle® goes Logistik
Innovation trifft Praxis: Circa 70.000 m² umfasst die neue Logistik-Immobilie auf dem revitalisierten Bergbaustandort, die der Modemarke Levi Strauss ab 2023 für eine Mietdauer von 20 Jahren als Distributionszentrum dienen wird. Dabei zeichnet sich das Fullfillment Center vor allem durch den innovativen Cradle-to-Cradle® (kurz: C2C) Ansatz aus. Dieser beschreibt eine zirkuläre Bauweise, die auf den Prinzipien der Wiederverwertung, Ressourcenschonung und Abfallreduktion basiert und das Ziel verfolgt, den ökologischen Fußabdruck so klein wie möglich zu halten. Bei der Übertragung ihres Nachhaltigkeitsanspruchs in die Logistik-Praxis des „Positive Footprint Wearhouse“ konnte DELTA auf die Expertise des Architektenbüros Quadrant4 zurückgreifen, das diesen auf allen Lager-, Büro- und Gemeinschaftsflächen kompromisslos umsetzte.

Eine Architektur mit grünem Faden
Ganz im Sinne des C2C®-Ansatzes sind jegliche Baumaterialien des neuen Zentrums auf Wiederverwertung ausgelegt und werden in einer Material-Datenbank erfasst. Am Ende der Nutzungsperiode ermöglicht eine spezielle architektonische Verwendung die problemlose Trennung nach Materialtyp. Um die Luftqualität der Innenräume konstant hoch zu halten, wurden zudem ausschließlich schadstoffarme Materialien verwendet. Nicht nur beim Thema Gesundheit rückt die Immobilie den Menschen in den Mittelpunkt: Auf Grundlage des „Human Centered Designs“ ist das Zentrum auf sozialen Austausch und Inspiration ausgelegt und mit zahlreichen Gemeinschafts- und Grünflächen ausgestattet. Grün ist der Firmenstandort dabei sowohl im wörtlichen als auch im übertragenen Sinne: Neben den Grünflächen im Außenbereich verfügt die Immobilie über einen Dachgarten, der sowohl zur Aufrechterhaltung der Biodiversität als auch als Sammelstelle und Kläranlage des gebäudeinternen Wasserkreislaufs eingesetzt wird. Durch den Einsatz erneuerbarer Energiequellen kann Zentrum einen Großteil seines Energiebedarfs selbst decken. LEED1- und WELL2-Zertifizierungen untermauern den Nachhaltigkeitscharakter des Gebäudes zusätzlich.

Der nächste wichtige Schritt: Delta und Levi’s treiben Nachhaltigkeit voran
„Bereits seit 2003 folgen wir bei DELTA fast ausschließlich dem C2C®-Leitbild und rücken so konsequent die Zukunft des Planeten in den Fokus unserer Projekte. Nachhaltigkeit, Gesundheit und Wirtschaftlichkeit stellen dabei stets eine untrennbare Einheit dar“, erklärt Edwin Meijerink von DELTA Development den innovativen Ansatz. Mit dem Einzug der Modemarke Levi Strauss wird der Nachhaltigkeitsgedanke der C2C®-Immobilie in die unternehmerische Praxis übertragen. Eine geteilte Wertehaltung war hierfür unerlässlich.

In den Niederlanden hat DELTA mit Immobilien wie dem ABC Square oder dem Fokker Logistics Park in Schiphol bereits zahlreiche nachhaltige Logistik-Großprojekte realisiert – in Deutschland steht der Projektentwickler noch am Anfang.

Cradle to Cradle principles in the CHT Group

  • The CHT Group is constantly expanding its sustainable product range for a circular economy according to the Cradle to Cradle principles

Progress in itself does not necessarily have to be sustainable but in the CHT Group it certainly does. For this reason the company has defined progress more precisely. The developers and chemists from Tübingen show true inventive talent with sustainable innovations.

According to the CHT Group's self-perception, sustainable innovation always includes a responsibility component for the future. With decades of experience along the textile value chain, the globally active CHT Group offers an incomparably wide range of services focusing on sustainable, resource-saving and forward-looking speciality chemicals and the efficient shaping of textile processes.

According to the CHT Group's self-perception, sustainable innovation always includes a responsibility component for the future. With decades of experience along the textile value chain, the globally active CHT Group offers an incomparably wide range of services focusing on sustainable, resource-saving and forward-looking speciality chemicals and the efficient shaping of textile processes.

The circular economy takes over a decisive role: In the CHT Group we are convinced that recyclable textile products are the right means to protect resources and reduce the environmental impact. Therefore, our team works closely with textile manufacturers and brands to achieve the common goal of avoiding waste and harmful substances along the textile production process and thus producing more ecological textiles.

The Cradle to Cradle approach provides a trend-setting concept in the textile world that perfectly fits the company's sustainable strategy: Right from the start products shall be created which are suited for the biological (compostable) or technical (recyclable) circulation.

The CHT Group focuses on the development of dyes, pigments and auxiliaries for textile finishing which can be decomposed without leaving any residues and easily returned to the natural circulation.

For textiles which are to be developed and produced strictly according to the Cradle to Cradle principle, CHT offers a comprehensive, constantly growing, compostable range for textile finishing. With 57 textile auxiliaries and 32 dyes/pigments CHT has succeeded in achieving the highest rating, the Platinum Material Health Certificate of the Cradle to Cradle Products Innovation Institute.

These products help textile manufacturers to achieve the Platinum rating in Material Health, one of five categories of the Cradle to Cradle Certified™ product standard on finished textiles. This contributes to giving textiles a positive ecological footprint.

Textiles can be given the decisive distinguishing feature through the Cradle to Cradle Certified™ product standard. Cradle to Cradle Certified™ is the world's leading science-based standard for safe, recyclable and sustainable materials and products. CHT offers the possibility of designing tomorrow's sustainable textiles already today and is therefore part of the Circular Economy.

Cradle to Cradle Certified™ is a registered trademark of the Cradle to Cradle Products Innovation Institute.

According to the Cradle to Cradle approach, shortly C2C, products shall merge into a biological or technical cycle after the end of their life cycle. This re-use helps prevent waste and save raw materials. The impact on the environment and health of all of the ingredients of C2C textiles is already tested in the design stage and during manufacturing. C2C experts additionally ensure a gapless control of the manufacturing processes. They check the chemicals in use, make sure that the water is kept clean and that renewable energies are used. Since this control affects the complete textile supply chain, it guarantees absolute transparency.

The CHT Group can now offer high quality and sustainable substitutes for common textile print pastes with its first biodegradable print pastes and pigments.
