Ambercycle provides technology-based solutions for producing virgin-grade polymers from end-of-life textile waste, enabling circular fashion supply chains. The company partners with brands, cities, and consumers to collect discarded textiles and processes them into molecular building blocks that are used to create new yarns and fabrics. Founded in 2013 and headquartered in Los Angeles, Ambercycle has raised $44M in Series B funding from investors including Temasek, KIRKBI A/S, Zalando, Shinkong Synthetic Fiber, and H&M Group. The company's regenerated materials maintain the quality and performance of virgin polyester while dramatically reducing environmental impact, serving fashion brands seeking to decouple production from virgin resource extraction and meet sustainability targets.
