The story behind KIUD

KIUD Technologies 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 winner of Ajujaht – Estonian version of “Shark Tank” (2023)
  • One of the Deloitte Fast 50 Impact Stars in Central Europe (2023)
  • “The Company of the Future” by SEB bank (2023)
