\n\u2018Infinite recycling\u2019 startup Samsara Eco partners with Lululemon<\/br>
\n2023-05-18 21:46:55<\/br><\/p>\n

\n

Samsara Eco<\/a>, an Australian startup that uses enzyme-based tech to recycle plastics, textiles and other materials countless number of times, has struck a major partnership with Lululemon. The deal means Samsara Eco and Lululemon will create what they describe as the world\u2019s first infinitely recycled nylon 6,6 and polyester from apparel waste.<\/p>\n

The partnership is also Lululemon\u2019s first minority investment in a recycling company, though the amount was undisclosed, and Samsara Eco\u2019s first partnership in the apparel industry. The startup has raised a total of $56 million<\/a> from investors like Breakthrough Victoria and Temasek, and its commercial partners include Woolworths Group.<\/p>\n

Nylon and polyester currently make up about 60% of clothing<\/a> produced today, but at the end of their life cycle, 87% end up in a landfill or incinerated<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Samsara Eco\u2019s enzyme-based technology breaks down mixed apparel derived from plastics into their molecular building blocks to produce new apparel, which in turn can be broken down again, creating what the company refers to as infinite recycling.<\/p>\n

Paul Riley, the CEO and founder of Samsara Eco, explained that nylon 6,6 is one of the textile and fashion industries\u2019 most commonly used materials, because its complex chemical structure makes it very versatile and resilient. But it\u2019s also difficult to break down and recycle.<\/p>\n

Both nylon and polyester are derived from fossil fuels and usually end up in landfills. By working with Lululemon, however, Samsara Eco has expanded its library of plastic-eating enzymes to include ones for polyester and nylon 6,6. \u201cWhat this means is that we can now break down apparel made from blended materials back down to its core molecules, which can then be used to re-create brand-new apparel again and again.\u201d<\/p>\n

Samsara Eco and Lululemon\u2019s partnership will span several years, with plans to scale circularity through textile-to-textile recycling for the performance apparel industry, but Riley said it is open to textiles from other sources.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile this partnership is a key milestone for our roadmap to recycle 1.5 million tonnes of plastic annually by 2030, as our society moves away from creating new fossil fuel made plastic, we\u2019re expecting more industries that depend on plastic to see Samsara Eco as a viable recycling option,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Lululemon Raw Materials Innovation vice president Yogendra Dandapure told TechCrunch that Samsara Eco\u2019s enzymatic recycling process will enable the company to move toward recycling end-of-life products to create new apparel, over and over again. The company\u2019s Be Planet goal is to make 100% of its products with sustainable products and end-of-use solutions, moving toward a circular ecosystem, by 2030.<\/p>\n

Other Lululemon initiatives include products made from renewably sourced, plant-based nylon, which launched in April in partnership with Geno, and Lululemon\u2019s Like New program, which sells previously owned clothing.<\/p>\n

Dandapure said Lululemon is currently focused on creating and testing a successful fabric for nylon and polyester this year, with an eye toward future scaling and product plans. \u201cWe are working towards previewing our first prototypes later this year and will start to unveil small collections in the next one to two years,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
