TechCrunch kaynaklı habere göre girişim ekosisteminde öne çıkan bir gelişme gündeme geldi.
Some şirketler are experimenting with new ways to recycle textile waste , while others are developing new materials that won’t require fossil fuels . One girişim, Rubi , is “basically taking the machinery of biology outside of the cell” to make the building blocks of lyocell and viscose, co-founder and CEO Neeka Mashouf told TechCrunch.
Rubi recently raised $7.5 million to build a demonstration scale of its cellulosic production system, which is designed to produce tens of tons of material using CO 2 as its main ingredient. The round was led by AP Ventures and FH One Investments, with participation from CMPC Ventures, H&M Group, Talis Capital, and Understorey Ventures, Rubi exclusively told TechCrunch.
The girişim has booked more than $60 million in non-binding off-take agreements with a couple of partners, Mashouf told TechCrunch. The company has tested the material with 15 pilot partners, including H&M, Patagonia, and Walmart.
