At Rubi Laboratories, we turn carbon emissions into carbon-neutral cellulosic textiles for fashion brands with critical sustainability goals. Apparel is one of the top 3 dirtiest supply chains on Earth, and most major fashion brands have committed to critical and urgent sustainability goals amid consumer, investor, and supply chain pressure. However, brands are left frustrated with no scalable supply chain solutions despite some billions of dollars of investment per year. Our patent-pending technology sequesters carbon and produces carbon-, water-, and land-neutral textiles for apparel (~10 tons CO2 mitigated & sequestered per ton of textile, and ~0.4 GtCO2/year impact opportunity). Our textiles meet the needs of stakeholders across the fashion value chain: comparable costs to commercial textiles, easy manufacturing using existing viscose facilities, and properties which can mimic cotton, linen, silk, and wool. Today, Rubi is a team of 5 with expertise across science, business, fashion, and million-dollar-grossing product development. We have developed our lab prototype validating the core our technology, filed IP, interviewed 30+ potential customers and earned 2 LOIs, and attracted a stellar advisory board of leaders across science, business, supply chain, and fashion.
