Design: Open standard for self-tailoring the infinite loop (textile wrap)
The world’s first class ideas the more they are copied the better! So, if you want and you know how, you can sew your own InfinitLoop following the pattern and the instructions available on the web. For a very cheap amount we send you the unique identification label which allows you to take advantage of the InfinitLoop functionalities. This label with QR Code will allow you to trace the itinerary and use of your own InfinitLoop and find out how much waste have been avoided and which gifts have been wrapped with it, and follow its path around the world. -
Inclusión social: Social inclusion through employment
Each InfinitLoop will be produced by social organizations which employ people with special needs. More than 50 % of the InfinitLoop price will finance activities of these organizations. The reason is that Tarpuna Cooperative’s mission is to generate social value through viable and sustainable projects. We think that social inclusion is a top priority. In this first stage we are working with la Asociación Estel Tapia, in the Raval quarter in Barcelona (http://www.esteltapia.org/). -
Services: Sustainable products and services promotion
InfinitLoop is intended to facilitate the purchase of smart gifts. We consider smart gifts those that are not compulsive, have a high added value and are socially transforming, those that represent ethical criteria of social and environmental sustainability, and if possible are creative, educational and shared. Infinite loop is, therefore, a channel to raise awareness of initiatives that may have difficulty reaching the market through traditional channels.

We founded Tarpuna Cooperative to promote sustainable initiatives. We started in 2004 with "urbà hort" (horturba.com), the first garden for balconies and terraces to promote agriculture at home and so be able to enjoy the contact with natural products on a daily basis. We are now exploring other social initiatives based on innovative and transforming products or services that promote sustainability.
