Spring begins with an award

We are CycleTex pioneers!

20.02.2025

As soon as the new year started, we were delighted to receive a special award: the AFBW (Allianz Faserbasierte Werkstoffe Baden-Württemberg e.V.) recognized us as a "CycleTex Pioneer"! We are proud of this title, as it confirms our profile as an innovative company with sustainable and future-oriented visions.

That’s what

it’s about

What makes us a “CycleTex pioneer”? NEO, the first product of our new brand Gurt + Gurt, was convincing. NEO is a bag woven from webbing that is available as a DIY kit and as a ready-made bag:

The ecological highlight of this product is that only offcuts from extensive series production are used for the manufacture of NEO. The offcuts are a regular part of production and are just as high quality as the processed series. With NEO, we use these high-quality resources for a new product and recycle them sustainably.

NEO won as a “CycleTex pioneer” because:

  • resource efficiency is achieved, as surplus material is productively fed back into the distribution processes.
  • the production process has been optimized in terms of sustainability(waste avoidance).
  • regional production at the Herbrechtingen site positively supports the ecological balance.

The award motivates us to consistently continue on this course. That is why we will soon be launching another new product with an equally strong sustainability profile. More on this very soon, because it’s all about pure spring fever 😊

Until then, we look forward to seeing you,

Your team from Carl Stahl
