Ambercycle
Ambercycle is a textile-to-textile recycler that converts polyester textile waste into cycora yarns® (a regenerated alternative to virgin polyester) for apparel brands and manufacturers. Their process uses polyester textile waste as feedstock, which is then purified and further converted into polyester pellets to make the cycora yarn, out of which new clothes can be made – thus reducing demand for virgin materials.

In Conversation with Ambercycle: Introducing Molecular Regeneration Technology
The Fashion for Good team interviewed Ambercycle co-founders Shay Sethi, CEO and Moby Ahmed, CTO, to learn more about the innovator’s story, technology, challenges, and successes and showcase innovations that are driving tangible change in the industry and leading the path to scale.
Why Fashion for Good is working with Ambercycle?
Ambercycle focuses on turning polyester (PET) textile waste into new cycora ® yarns, thus reducing the reliance on virgin polyester. This technology enables a replacement for virgin polyester yarns in the supply chain, thereby reducing waste and building a more circular system.
