German Ecodesign Award 2023 Winner Mono Vest

It is unbelievable: we have won Germany's highest state award for ecological design with our Mono Vest! We are incredibly proud that our Mono Vest won the German Federal Ecodesign Award 2023 in the "Product" category and feel deeply honored.

As the highest state award for ecological design in Germany, the German Federal Ecodesign Award highlights companies that distinguish themselves through outstanding environmental achievements and innovative design approaches. From an impressive number of 360 projects, the Mono Vest was selected as an outstanding project and ultimately declared the winner. The award ceremony took place on December 4th at the Federal Ministry for the Environment in Berlin.

The laudation for the Mono Vest award ceremony was given by Prof. Friederike von Wedel-Parlow, after which Federal Environment Minister Steffi Lemke presented the award in the ministry's festive inner courtyards.

Jury statement on the Mono Vest – circular and local

“Mono Vest stands for a closed-loop system in the technical sector, in which all essential ingredients from the same nylon material family are sourced locally, the products are manufactured in Germany, and can later be recycled within an existing infrastructure.”
