Ambercycle is a company focused on decarbonizing fashion through circularity. They aim to improve humanity's relationship with materials by regenerating end-of-life textiles into new materials for brands and manufacturers.

Ambercycle

Every year, over 120 billion garments are disposed of, and less than 1% of textiles get recycled at their end of life. The $2T textile industry lacks modern solutions to adapt to the circular economy, which is why we started Ambercycle. 

Ambercycle is a material science company founded in 2015 to create a world where every garment is regenerated. We’re developing and scaling a breakthrough technology to manufacture materials and fibers from old clothes, without a sacrifice in quality, rather than from petroleum or new agriculture resources. Using our technology, we are fundamentally changing the fashion industry and building the infinite textile ecosystem.

A great profile piece on our founders Shay Sethi and Moby Ahmed featured in Forbes 

‘By 2050, the fashion industry is set to use up to 25% of the world’s carbon budget - it’s the world’s second biggest polluter after fossil fuels.’

We are gearing up to create systemic change across the textile production and recycling sector to decarbonize the fashion industry.

🌍 Earth Overshoot Day - An Urgent Call for Action 

Today, August 2nd marks Earth Overshoot Day, a powerful wake-up call that humanity has already consumed a year's worth of resources in just seven months. At Ambercycle, we deeply understand the urgency of this global challenge, fueling our drive to make a difference swiftly. 

Circular business models like ours hold the key to dramatically reducing resource dependence in the fashion industry. At scale, Ambercycle's technology can replace the need for virgin polyester in apparel, significantly reducing petroleum extraction and minimizing GHG emissions associated with polyester production.♻️ 

We stand steadfast in our commitment to accelerate progress towards our vision. By collectively championing circularity, innovation and responsible practices, we know we can shape a better tomorrow.

If aliens were looking at the Earth, they would be shocked at the illogical cycle of waste we perpetuate as human beings 👽 

At Ambercycle, we know it’s time to break free of the linear cycle of consumption and embrace circularity. 

Our collaboration with TOMBOGO led to the creation of a space-inspired piece that will leave everyone, including extraterrestrial visitors, amazed. The garment contains cycora® regenerated polyester made from textile waste that was destined for LA landfills.  Old Clothes In, New Clothes Out = Circularity. 

Join us in transforming the way we create and consume, making Earth a more sustainable place for all, aliens included! 🌍

We’re excited to launch with BESTSELLER’s SELECTED FEMME/HOMME!

The innovative dress marks a momentous step forward for circularity in fashion☀️🌎

“Companies like ours, with ambitious sustainability targets and commitments, must continuously support textile-to-textile recycling innovation to make it an everyday reality. With their ongoing focus on the integral systemic shift, which BESTSELLER also works for, Ambercycle isn’t just an obvious investment case. They’re also a long-term business partner. Simultaneously, the high quality of cycora® definitely matches pristine virgin materials, which the new SELECTED FEMME garment is a prime example of” says Camilla Skjønning Jørgensen, BESTSELLER’s Innovation Manager.
