Unspun develops 3D weaving technology for apparel manufacturing, aiming to address the fashion industry's waste problem.

Unspun

Our mission is to reduce global human carbon emissions by 1%. To get there, we've created the tools needed to realize zero-waste production and circular reuse— a future where nothing becomes trash. The world's first 3D weaving tech, transforming yarn into clothes in minutes.

Deployed in microfactories, Vega™ eliminates the need for large order quantities while reducing transport emissions and lead times.

We partner with brands and manufacturers who are committed to streamlining and decarbonizing fashion supply chains using automated, localized, and low-impact production.

#fashion #innovation #manufacturing #supplychain #sustainablefashion

Big news! Last year, we introduced the world to 3D weaving technology, and now we’re ready to deploy it. 

Today, we announced $32M in a series B fundraising round from the pioneer deep tech firm DCVC, with ongoing backing from Lowercarbon Capital, Decathlon , SOSV, Mitsui & Co., Ltd., and E12. 

This investment empowers us to build more Vega™ 3D weaving machines in collaboration with apparel manufacturers and fashion brands to reduce the environmental harms of making clothes while lowering production costs. 

We are on our way to achieving our goal of reducing human carbon emissions by 1%.

It's go time!

Bay Area friends - this is for you! 

Come hang & swap with us for the Summer of NO NEW CLOTHES hosted with remake.world

Why another clothing swap? 👚👖
Clothes are so much more than mere cloth to cover our bits and keep us warm. They do life with us, share our memories and help us express our individuality!

But fast trend cycles, algorithms constantly throwing new shit in our faces and delusional pricing has led to a disconnect from the clothes we wear, where fashion is often regarded as disposable.

✨️We believe that re-establishing this connection is necessary if we are to transition to an era of intentionality. Join us for a different kind of clothes swap, where we celebrate the journeys of our wardrobes and give items new life and new stories. 📖

Spots are limited, please RSVP at the link below!

Last week, we celebrated the opening of The Mills Fabrica's 'Planet Saving Innovations' exhibition at Fabrica X in London. A huge thank you to The Mills Fabrica team for providing us with a space to connect with like-minded individuals and companies 🌏👏 and a shoutout to our very own Jess Zhu for repping unspun.

Collaboration and community mean so much to us. Incidentally, collaboration and community are also the keys to tackling the climate crisis. 

As Hannah Jones pointed out during her keynote at this event, "Radical collaboration is the only way that we can meet the climate crisis." 

Here's to doing things better, together 🫶 The Planet Savings Exhibition is on at The Mills Fabrica until September 30, 2024 - go check it out!

We're delighted to look back on the first-ever unspun Summit, which took place last Thursday during SF Climate Week. It was a gathering that brought together a group of #fashion #innovators, thought leaders, activists, familiar faces, and new friends at our HQ and microfactory. 

United by a shared vision to catalyze change within the fashion industry, the Summit was about much more than just knowledge sharing. Check out https://lnkd.in/dWrhYD8N for a complete summary and panel recording. 

🎤 Our highlight was a panel discussion about the legislative landscape, localization, and circularity within the fashion industry. Led by unspun co-founder, Beth Esponnette, with expert panelists such as Prof. Dr. Subramanian Senthilkannan Muthu, PhD in Environmental Life Cycle Assessment, Rachel Van Metre Kibbe, and remake.world's Sophia Marie Poulos. 

The panel shed light on the complexities of fashion legislation in the U.S., exploring the implications of these legislative measures for fashion innovators and discussing the necessary steps for bills like the Americas Act to be successfully passed. The panel also explored ways to support these crucial initiatives.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who participated, bringing their unique perspectives, expertise, and passion to the table. It is through collaborations like these that we can drive real change in our community and the fashion industry as a whole. A special thanks to Huue, OurCarbon, PROWL Studio, Jeanologia, Green Story and ACT (American Circular Textiles) 💚

Velocity is the prerequisite of momentum. Let's go!
