We’re honored to share that Ambercycle has been recognized in TIME’s Best Inventions 2024 under the Sustainability category!

TIME highlights innovations shaping a better future, selected for their originality, ambition, impact, and efficacy. We’re grateful that TIME acknowledges the significance of this circular movement within fashion and the change needed to make a lasting impact. We’re especially proud to be recognized alongside a few of our brand partners, sharing this journey toward a circular future. This is just the beginning, and we’re driven to keep redefining what circular fashion can achieve. #TIMEBestInventions #cycora #Ambercycle #CircularFashion

Decarbonized Circular Materials for Apparel
About us
At Ambercycle, we're changing humanity's relationship with materials. We believe textiles and consumer goods are valuable materials that should be completely regenerative the way basic materials are in nature. Our technology enables true circularity by unlocking the creation of decarbonized raw materials from end-of-life goods. cycora®, our high-quality regenerated polyester, is our first product that offers the same strength and versatility as virgin polyester, at less than half the CO2 emissions associated with petroleum-based fibers.

Today, we are thrilled to announce our latest offtake agreement and strategic innovation partnership with Arc'teryx Equipment. The partnership will enable Arc’teryx to integrate Ambercycle’s cycora® regenerated materials into key product lines. Through bridging obsessive design and material excellence, we will come together to demonstrate how closed-loop circular solutions can scale to meet the demands of even the most durable, high-performance apparel. “Arc’teryx is committed to disruptive evolution. Through the continual pursuit of perfection in design, we believe there’s always a better way forward. Ambercycle shares our vision for evolution through circularity, and we’re excited to explore the use of cycora® regenerated materials in our product line,” said Katie Becker, Chief Creative Officer at Arc’teryx.

Today, we’re thrilled to announce the beginning of our partnership with fellow Los Angeles-based brand Reformation to bring circularity to the global market. To kick off this collaboration, their latest collection features new pieces powered by cycora® regenerated materials. Inspired by the glamour of Hemingway's Paris, this collection features evening gowns and separates designed to complement their limited-edition jewelry collaboration with Clare Waight Keller. “At Reformation, we’ve set an ambitious commitment to become circular by 2030,” says Kathleen Talbot, Chief Sustainability Officer and VP of Operations. "Through cycora®, Ambercycle is helping brands like Reformation bring closed-loop garments to the market. This is an important step forward for circular fashion, especially considering that over half of global fiber production is composed of fossil fuel-derived synthetics like polyester, with nearly all of it ending up in landfills after its first life.” Read the full press release here: https://bit.ly/4h76kBy #CircularFashion #Ambercycle #Reformation
