Problem
A million bottles a minute
A million plastic bottles are produced every minute. 80% of the trash in the ocean is plastic, 49% of what gets produced is single-use, and only 9% is recycled. Microplastics have already been found in human blood.
Value proposition
From trash to fiber
We rescue bottles from streets, rivers and seas and turn them into everyday textile fiber. With AIRFILL technology we create hollow yarns up to 7 times thinner than a human hair — more volume, more bounce, more performance.
Growth
500,000 bottles a day
500,000 bottles recovered a day, with a logistics team across the country. Our own lab, with 14 tests per fiber. Every bale ships with an environmental label: carbon footprint, water use and energy use, all measured.
