Hajo Mini Backpack

New

This minimalist backpack is the smaller version of Hajo Medium Backpack (about a quarter smaller). Whether on the road by bike, shopping or in the nightlife, it’s suitable for any occasion. The roll-top closes with a hook and loop fastener and allows a practical filling of the Hajo Mini Backpack which features a zipped compartment on the outside. 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%.

water resistant product
All our outer fabrics are waterproof - however, we classify this product as 'water resistant'. Due to the construction, water can penetrate through the seams in case of heavy and persistent rain. Therefore, we recommend an additional rain cover during such weather.

DESIGN

Our durable, timeless designs for urban nomads are the result of environmentally friendly and social decisions as well as passion and creativity.

MINIMAL
EMISSION

We want to create the best product possible without causing any unnecessary damage. For this plan to work and for us to be able to inspire and implement environmental solutions, we work with carefully selected associations and partners.

A Change in Material –
A Change for the Climate

Instead of PET bottles from the beverage industry, we now recycle textile waste. A circular economy means that each industry is responsible for its own waste. We aim to use textile waste to the maximum extent possible. In doing so, we want to design them in such a way as to create durable products with low emissions.

Here are the key innovations

1

Largest possible percentage of recycled textiles

2

Extended lifetime

3

Reduced ecological footprint

4

Designed for the circular economy

How would such a ‘innovation’ look like?

Sustainability doesn't always have to look 'eco'. In our case, you can hardly tell the difference. Often they are not visible, because we look where no one looks. Hard plastics and foams are hidden in every backpack sold today. We have found a way to avoid all of that and use textile waste instead.

Lotus Infinity Material ‘PUrTEX∞’

None of the materials available on the market completely convinced us. Over a period of several years, we developed our own material, which is second to none. Together with the experts of one of the world's largest manufacturers, we have succeeded in developing a new material with outstanding properties.

The laboratory comparison with commercially available artificial leathers is quite convincing:
