Jannik Medium Pannier Backpack

The ultimate backpack for all your city trips. Jannik Medium Backpack closes its main opening with a high-quality metal/plastic buckle. An additional zipper closure on top even allows you to load the backpack to the maximum and securely locks the flap top. The backpack comes with a large front pocket with a flap. A quick access on the rear allows you to enter the main compartment through a vertical zipper.

The Lotus Infinity Series is crafted from 'PUrTEX∞' - a custom ultra-durable tech material that Ucon Acrobatics developed over several years. It is made from recycled textile waste and finished with a rigid coating of solvent-free polyurethane (PU).

Materials

'PUrTEX∞' is a custom ultra-durable tech material. Ucon Acrobatics has developed this progressive material over several years - which is second to none. Increased longevity - reduced thickness. Lower ecological footprint and steps into circularity. It is made from recycled textile waste and finished with a rigid coating of solvent-free polyurethane (PU). The PU foam layer has a cross-link structure, so the functional aspects are similar to molded rubber. The high performance has been proven in test results. The surface adhesion strength is four times better and the scratch resistance even improved over 100 times compared to conventional artificial leather. Furthermore, PU making is free of solvents such as DMF and VOC. The CO2e is reduced by over - 50%, the energy is reduced by over -40% and comes mainly from renewable sources. For the base of the material, post-consumer textile waste is transformed into recycled PET yarn in a chemical recycling process. The resource-saving spin dyeing process ("dope dye") is applied even before the interlock fabric is knitted. The savings of this are huge - water consumption is reduced by up to -90%, chemical consumption by up to -80%, energy consumption and CO2e emissions by up to -50%.

Components

Main Shell Material: 51% Polyurethane (PU), 49% Polyester (rPET) fiber-to-fiber recycled from post-consumer textile waste, dope-dyed
Secondary Shell Material: 54% Polyester (rPET) fiber-to-fiber recycled from pre-consumer/ post-consumer textile waste, dope-dyed, 46% thermoplastic Polyethylene (TPE)
Inner Material: 100% Polyester (rPET) fiber-to-fiber recycled from pre-consumer/ post-consumer textile waste, dope-dyed
Cushion Material: 100% Polyester (rPET) fiber-to-filler recycled from pre-consumer textile waste
Webbing Band: 100% Polyester (rPET) fiber-to-fiber recycled from pre-consumer/ post-consumer textile waste, dope-dyed
Metal Hardware: 100% Iron (FE), painted

Sustainability & Circularity

Sustainability is deeply rooted in the DNA of our company. As a value-driven company, we share common convictions and want to lead the circular economy in our field.

Design Principles

Our design developments focus on durability, as bags and backpacks are meant to be used daily and intensively for years. Minimalist design is also timeless design and in the best case, also extends the period of us.

We consider the impact of production with every new product and the entire life cycle. We thoroughly research materials, processes and emerging technologies to understand and reduce the environmental footprint of each product. In the shift from a linear to a circular economy, all components must undergo a review based on the following criteria:

Reduced environmental impact
Longevity
Recyclability

Mono-Material Products

A mono-material is only composed of a single type of material so they are typically easier to recycle than products made from different things. Also, the higher the material purity, the less energy is needed for chemical recycling. Our goal is to create products from 100% recycled mono-materials from our own industry - in our case PET from fashion waste. The following two recycling methods are essential to make products from old textiles.

Fiber-to-Fiber Recycling

This method is a closed-loop process where used textile fibers are transformed into new fibers for creating new textile products, reducing waste and maximizing material reuse. The method we use is called chemical recycling based on glycolysis.

Fiber-to-Filler Recycling

Mixed textiles are hard to recycle and often end up in landfills or get burned. We have found a way to put them to good use. They are incorporated as filling materials in non-visible parts of our bags and backpacks.

Dope Dye

Dope dyeing is a process that adds color to fibers before they are spun into yarn. The savings are huge - water consumption is reduced by up to -90%, chemical consumption by up to -80%, energy consumption and CO2e emissions by up to -50%. UV stability is also significantly better, as is color fastness to rubbing.

water resistant product

All our outer fabrics are waterproof - however, we classify this product as 'water resistant'. In case of heavy and persistent rain, water can penetrate through the seams due to the construction. Therefore, we recommend a rain cover during such weather.

Our durable, timeless designs for urban nomads are the result of environmentally friendly and social decisions as well as passion and creativity.

MINIMAL
EMISSION

We want to create the best product possible without causing any unnecessary damage. For this plan to work and for us to be able to inspire and implement environmental solutions, we work with carefully selected associations and partners.

A Change in Material –
A Change for the Climate

Instead of PET bottles from the beverage industry, we now recycle textile waste. A circular economy means that each industry is responsible for its own waste. We aim to use textile waste to the maximum extent possible. In doing so, we want to design them in such a way as to create durable products with low emissions.

Here are the key innovations

Largest possible percentage of recycled textiles

Extended lifetime

Reduced ecological footprint

Designed for the circular economy

How would such a ‘innovation’ look like?

Sustainability doesn't always have to look 'eco'. In our case, you can hardly tell the difference. Often they are not visible, because we look where no one looks. Hard plastics and foams are hidden in every backpack sold today. We have found a way to avoid all of that and use textile waste instead.

Lotus Infinity Material ‘PUrTEX∞’

None of the materials available on the market completely convinced us. Over a period of several years, we developed our own material, which is second to none. Together with the experts of one of the world's largest manufacturers, we have succeeded in developing a new material with outstanding properties.

The laboratory comparison with commercially available artificial leathers is quite convincing:
