Rubi Laboratories

Rubi Laboratories

Rubi Laboratories turn carbon emissions into carbon-negative textiles using synthetic biology. Rubi captures CO2 from the waste streams of manufacturing facilities using its proprietary enzyme system which can capture and convert CO2 from a gas input at any concentration. The CO2 is then converted into cellulose, which can then be used to create viscose-based yarn. Learn more

Rubi is a pioneering startup operating in the sustainable manufacturing sector, with a focus on textile production. The company's mission is to revolutionize supply chains, making them symbiotic with the planet. Rubi's technology allows for the creation of production systems that not only coexist with the planet but actively contribute to its preservation by cleaning the air and conserving resources.

The company's primary product is high-quality textiles, which are produced in a way that captures CO2 from the atmosphere, uses virtually no water or land, and is biodegradable at the end of its life cycle. This is achieved through a process inspired by nature, where enzymes are used to capture CO2 and convert it into cellulose, a key component of textiles. This process is net carbon-negative, meaning it removes more CO2 from the atmosphere than it emits, and is water and land neutral, meaning it doesn't deplete these resources.

Rubi's business model is based on selling these sustainable textiles to apparel manufacturers, offering them a way to reduce their environmental footprint. This positions Rubi in the growing market for sustainable materials, serving clients who are increasingly conscious of their environmental impact.

In terms of revenue generation, Rubi makes money by selling its textiles to manufacturers. The company's unique selling proposition is the environmental benefits of its products, which could command a premium price in the market.
