Every harvest leaves something behind. Stems, stalks, straw… the parts of the plant nobody grows the crop for.
The industry calls it agricultural residue. Most of it gets burnt in the field or left to rot. We turn it into textile fibres.
Cotton, polyester and other conventional fabrics make up the majority of the world's textile production, and their environmental impact cannot be overstated. Fashion remains one of the most polluting industries on the planet, and one of the largest consumers of fresh water and natural resources.
Conventional natural fabrics are running out of room. Cotton and linen face real constraints on land, water and supply chain. The industry leans harder on synthetics and needs new natural fibres. Or replacement options.
We think they're already growing.
We work directly with farmers to give their residue a value it has never had. No new crop, no extra land, no change to what they already grow. Just a second income from what was already coming off the field.
We have completed trials across Europe, Africa and Asia to convert residues into textiles.
Our purpose built set of mechanical and green chemistry processes extracts fibre from agricultural residue. Without harsh chemicals and in far fewer steps than conventional methods. We have designed a process to outperform conventional materials on cost, setup and environmental impact.
The process isn't locked to one crop. It was designed to work across many fibrous residue streams.
We are starting with residues commonly found in Western Europe.
Our fibres are a drop in solution for the textile supply chain. They integrate into existing spinning and weaving infrastructure and have been spun into yarns at a facility in Portugal.
Yarn specifications and samples available on request. Please let us know your company and intended use case when you get in touch.

A natural fibre that sits somewhere between cotton and linen. With the softness to work close to the skin and the character to hold its own in a woven.
We've completed industrial yarn trials and developed knitted prototype garments. Larger industrial trials and full fabric level testing are underway for things like wash, durability, shrinkage, pilling, colour fastness.
Our current production capacity runs from 50kg to over 1 tonne with our tolling partner.
If you're building a collection and want to work with us on it, now is the right moment.
