Gothenburg, Sweden / Ludwigshafen, Germany - Lindex has partnered with BASF’s loopamid®
to accelerate textile-to-textile recycling and advance the shift towards more circular material solutions in the fashion industry. Together they introduce loopamid to the lingerie sector.
For Lindex, the use of loopamid builds on its long‑term work to increase the use of recycled materials and reduce dependency on virgin raw materials. Building on progress in textile-to-textile recycled cellulosic fibres, Lindex is now driving innovation in polyamide within lingerie.
“As a major lingerie player, we have a clear responsibility and opportunity to drive change in this category. Polyamide is an important material category for Lindex, where our scale allows us to drive real impact. With loopamid, we are moving from ambition to action, advancing more circular solutions while supporting long‑term, sustainable growth and reducing the use of virgin material. Progress at this level requires new technologies and close partnerships across the value chain, and BASF plays a key role in enabling this development,” said Anna-Karin Dahlberg, Chief Sustainability Officer at Lindex.
Developed by BASF, loopamid is a recycled polyamide 6 made entirely from textile waste such as post-industrial waste and post‑consumer waste. The technology enables the recycling of polyamide materials that are otherwise difficult to process, including blended textiles, while maintaining material quality comparable to virgin polyamide 6 and enabling multiple recycling cycles.
“With loopamid, our goal is to fully close the loop for polyamide textiles. Working with Lindex allows us to actively shape the transformation towards a more circular fashion industry,” said Dag Wiebelhaus, head of innovation and project lead of loopamid at BASF’s Monomers division.
First lingerie products made with loopamid are planned to be introduced in selected Lindex lingerie styles at the beginning of 2027. The collaboration and use of loopamid support Lindex’s overall material ambition that by the end of 2026, 100 per cent of materials used will be recycled or sustainably sourced.
