"Unlike plastic fibers made from petroleum, proteins are inherently green, so they’ll biodegrade. We’re able to treat proteins like conventional thermoplastics, making proteins the new oil.”
8 millions of tons of structured proteins are discarded every year when they can be turned into high quality textile fibers
70% of apparel fibers are manufactured with incredibly efficient melt-spinning machines – but no prior materials innovation has been able to work on these machines and tap their low-cost economics. Everbloom (fka Bloom Labs) is the first in the world to do so. Everbloom upcycles waste protein to thermomeltable pellets, which are then made into polyester replacements on industry-standard melt-spun machines, found on every textile factory floor. Founded by a third-generation textile entrepreneur, Everbloom reduces the environmental footprint of apparel without compromising functional specs and performance.
