Five Swiss Textiles members are up for the Green Business Award 2024. Among the 36 nominees, Dimpora, HeiQ AeoniQ, Lantal, Muntagnard, and Qwstion are in the running. The award celebrates companies that blend financial success with eco-friendliness.

Out of the 36 Swiss contenders, five will be granted the Green Business Excellence label by an initial jury. These selected firms will then pitch to the main jury, with three finalists showcasing their innovations to potential investors at Impact Gstaad’s Impact Circle Event on February 14, 2025. The winner will be announced afterward.

Dimpora, headquartered in Zurich, has developed a groundbreaking circular-solution technology for waterproof and breathable clothing without harmful chemicals. HeiQ AeoniQ, based in Schlieren, Canton Zurich, produces biodegradable cellulosic yarn from renewable resources like agricultural waste.

Lantal Textiles from Langenthal, Bern, pioneers aircraft carpets with a digitized process, reducing water usage, emissions, and waste. Muntagnard, a startup from Domat/Ems, Graubünden, focuses on high-quality, sustainable clothing and offers repair services.

Zurich’s Qwstion specializes in Bananatex, a biodegradable fabric made from Abacá banana leaves, supporting reforestation and local farmers.
