Axiv Materials
Axiv Materials Overview
Axiv Materials is developing a new type of biodegradable fiber that is produced from protein waste.
The company's proprietary technology extracts high-quality proteins from waste streams, and upcycles them into sustainable, biodegradable, and premium textile fibers. These fibers could be used to produce textiles for a wide range of applications, including apparel, home textiles, and automotive interiors.
Axiv Materials Climate Tech relevance
The textile industry is one of the top 3 most polluting industries in the world, with 92 million tonnes of textiles discarded every year. 70% of these textiles are composed of plastics, which do not biodegrade and accumulate in the environment.
Innovation in textiles is essential to meet the ambitious climate goals set by governments, organizations, and companies. Axiv Materials is developing a new type of biodegradable fiber that is produced from protein waste. This waste is typically incinerated, landfilled, or used for low-value products. Axiv upcycles this protein waste, giving it new life as premium textile fibers.
At the end of their life, Axiv’s fibers can be recycled using Axiv's proprietary technology, or if landfilled, will biodegrade just like wool. Circularity at its best.
