Get to Know Us
GreenThread, an up and coming carbon-capture startup, aims to create a sustainable future for our planet. The team is developing an innovative technique using cyanobacteria to be integrated into clothes, allowing everyone to play their part in contributing to reducing the consequences of climate change.
Mission: Creating the most efficient way to reduce carbon emissions by wearing 'living' clothing.
Vision: To create the most innovative and sustainable clothing brand of the 21st century.
What? 🤷♀️
A fabric that captures carbon dioxide and uses photosynthesis to convert it into oxygen, all without a special care routine and extra maintenance.
How?🎯
The fabric uses electrospinning to combine cellulose fiber as the fabric and a specific type of cyanobacteria to create the perfect photosynthesizing environment.
Why? 🧐
This fabric can be used in all clothing, and will cleanse the environment whenever it’s outdoors - meaning a cleaner atmosphere and less greenhouse gases.
How much?🪙
This fabric is made to be effective but still affordable, and we made sure that it will be very similarly priced to normal options at around ~$30 per textile.
Made from 100% organic material | Biodegradable | Oxygen production equal to that of an oak tree | Affordable and irritation-free fabric
Step 1
Step 2
Step 3
Step 4
The cellulose fiber absorbs and stores the carbon dioxide from the air.
The cyanobacteria photosynthesizes the carbon dioxide captured to produce glucose and oxygen.
The self-sufficient cyanobacteria uses the glucose produced for cellular respiration and reproduction.
The oxygen is released back into the environment and the process begins again!
