About Clean Ocean Fiber

The problem we're solving:

Microplastics and microfibers are eliminated from clothing during the laundry process enter the food chain and contain or carry hazardous chemicals that have a negative impact on nature and human health.

Our solution:

Using technology to prevent microplastics and chemicals released in the ocean and environment by creating a durable thread which prevents and replaces cut fibers, the biggest contaminant in the textile industry. They have intellectual property and their own yarn brand.

Our differentiator:

Locally producing with C&A and Lacoste, and through an international expansion to Milan, Italy, they landed PoCs with Marzotto Group and other textile business companies.
