Our production process is 1000 times more efficient than that of synthetic fibers, and we our only waste product is water
The huge vats of boiling water used in silk production today represent 50% of the total energy consumed by its manufacture, and is the primary source of its large CO2 emissions
At Spintex, we unlocked the secrets of nature’s textile experts, spiders, to produce a low-cost and sustainable biomaterial platform for spinning high-performance silk fibers. Using a biomimetic process and alternative proteins, we massively reduce the energy requirements for producing silk fibers for sustainable fashion and produce fibers with unique characteristics for advanced applications that are cost effective and scalable.
