The story behind KIUD
KIUD (formerly Low imPACK) was founded by two female entrepreneurs, Kaie & Liis, who share a mutual pain for the fashion industry’s impact on the environment. Namely the piling landfills of the textile waste.
KIUD’s mission is to disrupt the wood-based packaging industry by transforming discarded textile waste into novel packaging material.
The concept behind KIUD packaging has won several awards:
- “The Company of the Future” by SEB bank (2023)
- 2nd runner up finalist for “The Most Innovative Product Concept” by JTI’s Collaboration Track (2023)
- TOP3 finalist at Prototron Green (2022)
- Creative Industries Pitching Award at sTARTUp Day (2022).
