WINNER OF THE GERMAN ECO-DESIGN AWARD 2023

We WON 🎉

It’s unbelievable—we’ve won Germany’s highest government award for ecological design with our Mono Vest! We are incredibly proud that our Mono Vest has won the German Federal Ecodesign Award 2023 in the "Product" category and feel deeply honored.

As the highest state award in Germany for ecological design, the German Federal Ecodesign Award highlights companies that distinguish themselves through outstanding environmental performance and innovative design approaches. Out of an impressive 360 projects, the Mono Vest was selected as an outstanding project and ultimately declared the winner. The festive 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 delivered by Prof. Friederike von Wedel-Parlow, and afterwards, Federal Environment Minister Steffi Lemke presented the award in the ministry's festive inner courtyards.

Jury statement on the Mono Vest – circular and local

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