We’re Just a Bunch of Science-Loving Humans on a Mission to Achieve Circularity.
Chemistry + Fashion + Lots of Heart for the Earth.
We are a motley crew of global scientists and business innovators, uniting together to tackle the hardest challenges in science and engineering.
Where others see roadblocks, we see an opportunity for applied science. Our team has cracked the code on previously unsolvable textile recycling challenges, busting open doors for even bigger and broader change.
