The textile industry today accounts for up to 10% of global CO2e emissions. Textile waste is a growing global challenge. In fact, less than 1 percent of the global textile fiber market comes from recycled textiles. We envision a world where every textile fiber sees a new day. By implementing true textile-to-textile recycling at hyperscale, we are here to lead the green transition from a linear to a circular value chain by putting textile waste to use, over and over again. Starting with polyester, the world’s biggest fiber representing up to 40% of the textile industry’s total emissions. The great textile shift starts now.

At Ambercycle, were changing humanitys relationship with materials. We believe textiles and consumer goods are valuable materials that should be completely regenerative the way basic materials are in nature. We are a materials company that produces virgin-grade 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.

Our technology turns materials that would otherwise be landfilled or burned into something truly valuable – Infinna™, a premium textile fiber that reduces the world’s reliance on virgin resources. Our technology is now ready to scale for real impact. Working together with textile producers, brands and people who share our vision, we can bring joy and hope back to closets, homes and people as we go.
