VISION
We're here to transition hydrocarbon economy to a carbohydrate one
A $2 trillion industry producing 150 billion garments annually for 8.1 billion people on earth is dominated by the two most polluting fibers. We think the future will be different...
We use abundant carbohydrates for rapid scale, following the success of cellulose-based cotton fibers in nature. But only 100x less resource intensive

WHY SUPERCARB
A Different Approach to Fashion & Home Textiles
The fashion industry is responsible for 10% of annual global carbon emissions, more than all international flights and maritime shipping combined. Fibers & materials sourced for textiles account for 24% of the industry’s footprint, with 336 Billion kg of CO2e emitted and 50 billion m3 of water consumption per year.
Synergies between carbohydrates have been exploited in the food industry for decades. It’s time to unlock that potential to solve sustainability issues in the apparel & home textile industry.
