CRAFT: Joggen für weniger Müll (c) CRAFT
CRAFT startet „Plogging Challenge“

CRAFT: Joggen für weniger Müll

  • CRAFT startet „Plogging Challenge“ mit ausgewählten Händlern

Zur Vorstellung seiner neuen Schuhkollektion startet der schwedische Funktionsbekleidungsspezialist CRAFT zusammen mit dem Handel eine Test-Event-Reihe der nachhaltigen Art. Bei der „CRAFT-Plogging-Challenge“ geht es nicht nur ums Laufen, sondern gleichzeitig darum, Müll zu sammeln. Die Idee haben die Schweden aus ihrer Heimat und bringen sie nun auf die deutschen Laufpfade.

Plogging setzt sich aus dem schwedischen Wort „plocka“, das ins Deutsche übersetzt soviel wie „sammeln“ heißt, und Jogging zusammen. Entwickelt wurde Plogging 2016 vom Schweden Erik Ahlström. Er war von herumliegendem Müll auf seiner Laufrunden so genervt, dass er eine ganz einfache Lösung dafür fand. Er sammelte den Müll einfach während des Joggens ein, schuf ganz nebenbei einen Trend und eine neue Art von Ganzkörper-Workout – denn das Müllsammeln lässt sich einwandfrei mit Kniebeugen oder Burpees verbinden.

Plogging setzt sich aus dem schwedischen Wort „plocka“, das ins Deutsche übersetzt soviel wie „sammeln“ heißt, und Jogging zusammen. Entwickelt wurde Plogging 2016 vom Schweden Erik Ahlström. Er war von herumliegendem Müll auf seiner Laufrunden so genervt, dass er eine ganz einfache Lösung dafür fand. Er sammelte den Müll einfach während des Joggens ein, schuf ganz nebenbei einen Trend und eine neue Art von Ganzkörper-Workout – denn das Müllsammeln lässt sich einwandfrei mit Kniebeugen oder Burpees verbinden.

Die Schweden von CRAFT ließen sich von ihrem Landsmann inspirieren und bringen Plogging nun mit ausgewählten Händlern auch auf die deutschen Laufwege. Die „CRAFT-Plogging-Challenge“ ist ein Laufschuhtest der nachhaltigen Art. Dabei haben interessierte Endverbraucher die Möglichkeit, die neuesten Laufschuhe von CRAFT zu testen und dabei auch noch etwas für die Umwelt zu tun. Die Event-Reihe findet in zahlreichen Städten statt und wird von der Kampagne #CraftPloggingChallenge auf den sozialen Medien flankiert. Dabei können begeisterte Plogger Bilder von sich mit ihrem gesammelten Müll posten, mit dem Hashtag #CraftPloggingChallenge markieren und Preise der Marke CRAFT gewinnen.

CRAFT Deutschland-Geschäftsführer Andre Bachmann ist begeistert vom Trend und der Idee des „sauberen Laufens“: „Plogging ist eine so einfache wie geniale Sache. Wir alle überlegen uns aktuell, wie wir die  Sportindustrie und den Sport sauberer und nachhaltiger gestalten können. Gleichzeitig kennen wir alle das Problem von Müll auf unseren Park-, Wald- und Laufwegen. Mit Plogging kann jeder einen kleinen Teil beitragen. Wenn wir alle nur ein kleines Bisschen Müll beim Joggen aufheben, dann kann das im Zusammenspiel einen gewaltigen Unterschied machen. Ich bin gespannt und freue mich sehr auf die Events.“

Die „CRAFT-Plogging-Challenge“ wird in insgesamt sieben Orten stattfinden:

• Marburg – Svens Laufladen // tbd.
• Wuppertal – Laufsport Bunert // 22. Oktober, 18:30 Uhr
• Lennestadt – Sport Schneider // 23. Oktober, 18 Uhr
• Neuss – Laufsport Bunert // 28. Oktober, 18 Uhr
• Bochum – SkiBo Tours & Sports GmbH // 30. Oktober, 17 Uhr
• Köln – Muskelkater Sport // 4. November, 17 Uhr
• Köln – Dauerlauf // 5. November, 15 Uhr
• Rheine – triathlon.de Shop // 13. November, 18 Uhr

COBRA delivers first 100 composite fuselage covers for cutting-edge drones

COBRA International is collaborating with HG Robotics, a leading drone manufacturer that specializes in unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for the agricultural market, on a composite fuselage cover for the cutting-edge Tiger Drones.

Undertaking a full range of services with HG Robotics and having been involved from the outset: from the design and engineering through to the prototyping of the composite drone fuselage cover, COBRA has now delivered nearly 100 sets and will produce approximately 500 units throughout 2019.

COBRA International is collaborating with HG Robotics, a leading drone manufacturer that specializes in unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for the agricultural market, on a composite fuselage cover for the cutting-edge Tiger Drones.

Undertaking a full range of services with HG Robotics and having been involved from the outset: from the design and engineering through to the prototyping of the composite drone fuselage cover, COBRA has now delivered nearly 100 sets and will produce approximately 500 units throughout 2019.

The multi-rotor Tiger Drones typically carry spraying equipment and can also carry high definition cameras that provide a wide range of field information. Farmers can measure land profiles, identify any problem plants or areas and manage their cultivation in the most efficient way. The 420 mm square shaped fuselage cover protects the drone’s electronic controls and forms an aerodynamic fairing between the central fuselage and the craft’s 4 rotor arms.
 
The COBRA Design and Development team selected a composite laminate of glass fibre reinforcements for the cover – which don’t interfere with GPS signals used by the drone - and combined these with epoxy laminating resins in a hand laminated, vacuum bag consolidated production process.

COBRA also designed all of the mould tools for the project. The 2-piece aluminium mould was produced by one of COBRA’s long-term tooling partners. This metallic tooling provides an excellent surface finish to the part with absolutely minimal trimming and finishing required.   Moulded parts can go swiftly through a painting and clear coating process before final inspection and delivery to the client.

Danu Chotikapanich, CEO of COBRA International comments: “Our collaboration with HG Robotics is going well, and we are hoping to collaborate further with them on other multi-rotor and fixed wing VTOL (vertical take-off and landing) drone models in the future. These are COBRA’s first parts for the agricultural industry, and they provide an exciting vision as to just a few of the possibilities for lightweight composites in this area and also in the wider commercial UAV market as a whole.”

When innovation meets passion: Canclini 1925 weaves Italian excellence through quality, style and service.

Artisan craft, experience and high eco-technological specialization: the great tradition of fabrics for shirts which styles the future.

Search for quality, the ability to interpret elegance and a product inspired by tradition, though always trendy: these are the distinctive traits which define the vocation of Canclini 1925, a point of reference worldwide for shirt fabric manufacturing. This expertise is implemented through dynamic creativity and 100% Made in Italy artisan  craft. These are the foundations which make the history and capability of Canclini 1925 unique, as standard bearer for everlasting style.

All this results from an authentic family tradition which, for three generations, has been the driving force of the company, shaping each collection. This passion is at the service of tireless search in terms of style and technology which underlies the whole Canclini 1925 innovative approach. The goal is to offer, through its fabrics, an inimitable experience, “creating wellbeing” and emotion through touch alone, respecting the environment and humans.

All this results from an authentic family tradition which, for three generations, has been the driving force of the company, shaping each collection. This passion is at the service of tireless search in terms of style and technology which underlies the whole Canclini 1925 innovative approach. The goal is to offer, through its fabrics, an inimitable experience, “creating wellbeing” and emotion through touch alone, respecting the environment and humans.

Founded in 1925, Canclini has always been a company able to combine extraordinary creativity and product care, established as a silk factory in the Como region. This tradition was renewed in the 1960s with the shift to the cotton sector, aiming more and more at customer service, developing a partnership and trust relation. Working with Canclini 1925 means reaching into the tradition of a family which has always been passionate about its work, dynamic, creative and focused on continuous innovation.

These are distinctive and qualifying elements in the Canclini 1925 approach. An approach which, in line with the research and development pathway on which the company has always invested substantial resources, also involves considerable attention the topic of environmental and social accountability. This commitment is confirmed by numerous and prestigious certifications in the company portfolio, starting from the careful selection of raw materials to its social commitment. More specifically, Canclini 1925 has been awarded the GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard), SUPIMA COTTON (the Pima “Gossypium Barbadense” cotton, classified as Extra-long Staple) certifications, following the Standard 100 by OECO-TEX®, BCI (Better Cotton Initiative) and GRS (Global Recycle Standard). A comprehensive range of tools which, combined with its in-house know-how and expertise capital, enhances the portfolio of Canclini 1925 branded innovations.

This accountability approach also encompasses the social area with the association “Un sorriso in più” (“One extra smile”). Founded and managed by the company, it is a non-profit organisation engaged in projects which include assistance in nursing homes to elderly persons without family ties, as well as in the support to children living difficult and disadvantaged family situations, focusing its activity on “human life quality”. The uniqueness generated by this meeting between tradition and innovation is the driving force behind corporate research, as well as the truly distinctive reason for its style and technology development. The high-performance looms and technologies used make the company strong and flexible enough for contemporary market requirements. The trademark passion of the Canclini family completes the picture within which the company operates, true to an approach which is at the same time artisan and high-tech, a point of reference in Italy and worldwide.

Thanks to its substantial manufacturing capacity, Canclini today is present on all of the most influential shirt markets worldwide, and – with its new Blue 1925 line - also in the denim world. In this way the company has succeeded in positioning itself among major players in textile manufacturing, authentically Italian because of its farsighted  business vision, care for details and production flexibility. It is the approach which – over the years - has allowed the group to take over important enterprises in the sector, for example Hausmann-Moos and Profilo Tessile, Maglificio Mida and Grandi & Rubinelli.
According to Simone Canclini, CEO of Canclini 1925: “What characterises the Canclini 1925 spirit is first and foremost genuine passion driven by our inspiring principles: quality, style and service. These elements have allowed us to become and remain a point of reference worldwide, to rediscover the everyday – basic and exciting – emotion of choosing a special shirt”.

For this capsule collection, Miles worked side by side with ISKO™’s Research & Development team utilizing the ISKO R-TWO™ program which combines a mix of reused and recycled materials. The reused cotton comes from ISKO™’s own production loss, which they continuously track and trace. This has the CCS (Content Claim Standard) certification. They combine this reused cotton with recycled polyester derived from PET bottles. Depending on the content, fabrics can have the RCS (Recycled Claim Standard) certification or GRS (Global Recycled Standard) certification.

The creative direction for the collection takes form with “Light on the Land” and the whole collection is made using low impact materials and responsible finishing techniques. Miles and the ISKO™ team carefully crafted 34 designs at the Creative Room™ in Italy. The styles incorporate responsible design principles which include:

  • Minimal washing;
  • Removable trims made of eco-metal;
  • Natural based buttons and labels;
  • Green bar tacks;
  • Embroidered rivets.

Environmental messages are embroidered on six of the pieces, by the artist Giulio Miglietta. The garments are built to last and the more you wear these pieces, the more beautiful they become.
