The completely green outerwear by Madex SRL
KI-72 is designed and studied in Italy with a sustainable concept
KI-72 Project: sustainable Outerwear
Born from a successful experience in the outerwear industry, KI-72 is a capsule that combines sustainable materials innovation with quality and style.
KI-72 it’s the first pilot study that concentrates the attention on the effort that are being made at a global level in order to lower the polluting processes. KI-72 name origins from a series of microorganisms that have been catalogued as “nylon eater” and discovered during the 70’s.
KI-72 Mission
Using the KI-72 Project innovations, Madex wants to show its customers that it is possible to be engaged in lowering the final environmental impact of the outerwear production process, either by looking for recycled and innovative materials or by endorsing the circular use of resources.
Ethics and transparency are the two keywords for KI-72 Project: all raw materials and the workmanship involved in the collection are granted by the most important international certifications on the sustainable fashion field.
Not just a message
We look around and from what we can clearly see we are not treating our world with the necessary and due respect.
Madex, with KI-72 Project, aims to give its contribution through the choice of “wearing the sustainable” which brings also the outerwear garment to be in line with the very urgent behaviours the nowadays society is asking us to adopt.
KI-72 Collection
Starting from the garment design Madex, using the KI-72 workshop, projects and manufactures an eco-sustainable outerwear line featuring a Urban Utility look.
All raw materials involved in the process are aligned with KI-72 claim:

Trims
Zipper entirely composed of a sustainable material, a polyamide with enhanced biodegradability.
Its special composition makes it easier for bacteria to reach and digest the discarded material, thus accelerating the biodegradation process under anaerobic landfilling conditions. It decomposes into organic matter (biomass) and biogas which help to provide new resources for the environment, as well as to produce energy from waste.

Si tratta di un filato a biodegradabilità accelerata in Poliammide. L'innovazione del polimero è quella di degradare in circa 5 anni in ambiente anaerobico, testata secondo lo standard internazionale ASTM D5511. Un filato ritorto resistente ed elastico.

Filling
The fiber used helps to reduce the long-term impact of microplastics in our oceans, landfills and waterways. Products made by these fibers have been specifically developed to return to materials found in nature, in an effort to reduce the environmental impact of microfibers and garments throughout their life.
The innovation lies in the composition of the fibers, which has led to the creation of the world's first 100% recycled, synthetic, and biodegradable fabric.
These fibers break down at a highly-accelerated rate in landfills, oceans and wastewater because we’ve optimized them to be more appetizing to the naturally-occurring microbes in these specific environments.
These microbes enable synthetic insulation and fabric to return to materials found in nature, leaving behind components like water, CO2, methane, biomass and humus – a common, natural component of potting soil.
