However, fabric wastage is an unavoidable by-product of garment production and has created far more environmental issues comparatively. KAPTURE is thriving to bring new value to those undesired waste by collecting and combining with the creativity of the Japan design team and the pioneer antiviral BioNTex™️ technology, which gives new life to another meaningful product cycle in a responsible manner. On top of that, KAPTURE endeavors to adopt as much sustainable material as possible, such as the use of recycled polyester for the care label and selecting biodegradable packages, in a way to reply the climate change.
BioNTex™ Technology: Good Health And Well-Being
With the impact of the pandemic, the demand and public awareness of antiviral protection is still continuously rising. KAPTURE applies BioNTex™ coating technology on the upcycling fabric which constructs a positive polymer structure, together with Japanese positive ion addictive and high-pressure treatment on their customer products. This could protect the customer away from bacteria and viruses as well as prevent secondary infection. Furthermore, their products are SGS certified that can effectively kill more than 90% of coronavirus within 5 minutes.
