What We Do
We believe textiles and consumer goods are valuable materials that should be completely regenerative the way basic materials are in nature. Our technology enables true circularity by unlocking the creation of decarbonized raw materials from end-of-life goods. cycora®, our high-quality regenerated polyester, is our first product that offers the same strength and versatility as virgin polyester, at less than half the CO2 emissions associated with petroleum-based fibers.
Why Work With Us
We see a world where all new materials are derived from existing above-ground goods, rather than extractive sources. Our technology decarbonizes high-growth industries, including apparel and automotive, minimizing the impact of raw material extraction on our environment.
