The Gabriel LOOP concept is a closed-loop take-back system that diverts textile waste from landfills and reduces our reliance on virgin resources, strengthening the transition to a circular economy. 

The textile industry is one of the most impacting industries in the world, partly due to the consumption of finite resources. Gabriel LOOP enables real change by decoupling the production of new textiles from the use of new resources. Instead, they use what is already in circulation.

The Gabriel LOOP products are crafted from 100% recycled polyester, sourced from both post-consumer and post-industrial materials. They combine textile waste with recycled plastic bottles. 

With the introduction of the first product in 2023, Gabriel shows that it is possible to create a complete circular business model without compromising product properties and lifespan. Since then, more designs have been added, and the range has continuously expanded to recycle as much textile waste as possible.

The Jury says
Gabriel LOOP goes beyond its aesthetics; it represents a comprehensive solution that addresses how sustainability should be embedded across an entire product lifecycle. This commitment invites industry partners and consumers to take part in reshaping how resources are valued, used, and repurposed.

The scalability of the solution makes it compelling, as it serves as a model for other companies to emulate, amplifying positive change industry-wide. Their focus on innovation, transparency, and collaboration paves the way for the broader adoption of circular models, steering industries toward a future where sustainability is integrated as a standard.
