From concept to innovation

The development of Loopinsulation began after an analysis of Mammut's carbon footprint in 2018, which revealed that 13% of the company's CO₂ emissions came from rope manufacturing. In response, Mammut conducted extensive research on repurposing rope production scraps, leading to the creation of Loopinsulation, a technology that stands out for its efficiency and environmental benefits.

First milestones and challenges

For the 2024 fall and winter season, Mammut has successfully recycled 12 tons of rope scraps, converting them into valuable insulation material. A key challenge was the variation in rope diameter, quality, and color, which was overcome through innovative solutions and a robust logistics system. "The complexity of recycling processes should never be underestimated," says Theba. "A circular economy demands significant effort and expertise."

A practical example: The Sender IN Hooded Jacket

One example of Loopinsulation in action is the Sender IN Hooded Jacket. This insulation jacket combines Loopinsulation with a recycled, wind- and water-repellent outer shell, moving Mammut closer to a fully circular, eco-friendly production process.
