We turn the world's worst waste into material as good as new, ethically.

From mixed textiles, multi-layer plastic and coloured PET to engineering-grade materials.

01/03The Feedstock

We take the waste no one recycles

Metalised multi-layered plastics, soiled blended textiles, coloured PET bottles. The worst of the worst, with under 1% recycled worldwide.

02/03VerdiCycle

We separate it and extract the building blocks

Chemo-mechanical separation, extraction and purification. No pyrolysis, no gasification, no organic solvents. Water-based, at ~120°C.

03/03The Materials

To produce materials ready for manufacturing

Every bit of the waste is put to use: engineering-grade plastics, recycled PET, polyester yarn and composites.

The problem, and the point

This is sustainability
without compromise

Most of the world’s waste doesn’t get recycled. And most of the people who collect it don’t get paid a fair wage. Our material science turns previously unrecyclable waste into materials used by global brands, so we can graduate waste pickers out of poverty.

Brands Made Without®

World firsts

If it can’t be done, we usually do it first

Four things that didn’t exist on earth before we built them.

World first 1
chip-packet sunglasses

first ever.

Sunglasses from packets of chips

Project Shades. Sold out in five days, 100+ publications. The wrapper that wouldn’t recycle, on someone’s face.

World first 2
100% recycled sachet bottle

first ever.

100% recycled sachet bottle

Built with Unilever TRANSFORM and L’Oréal Big Bang. The sachet plastic that “had nowhere to go,” blow-moulded into the next bottle.

World first 3
3D print from packets of chips

first ever.

3D print from packets of chips

TRASH3D filaments and pellets. Patent-pending recycled polyolefin compositions for additive manufacturing.

World first 4
VerdiFLO yarn

first ever.

VerdiFLO™: yarn from impossible textile waste

Yarn-grade polyester recovered from soiled, torn, blended textile waste. The mixed feedstock that gets landfilled or burned today, returned to the loop as virgin-like fibre.

Your turn

Can it be Made Without?

Three steps from your product to a pilot.

  1. Send us your productTell us what you make and what it is made of today. A photo or a spec sheet is enough.
  2. We read it and replySomeone on our team reads every enquiry and replies by email.
  3. A 20-minute callWhich of our materials fits, and what a pilot would look like.
