A breakthrough in circular fashion.

Our thermoreversible adhesive is activated once during garment assembly but can be reversed through a controlled process, enabling true circular fashion and recyclability. Unlike traditional stitching, which requires manual de-stitching, or permanent adhesives that prevent disassembly, this technology allows for easy separation of trims, zippers, and fabric layers—critical for waste stream separation and eicient recycling.

Our proprietary adhesive uses Diels-Alder chemistry to enable thermoreversible cross-linking; something traditional thermoplastic and thermoset adhesives cannot achieve. Unlike conventional adhesives that force a tradeo between strength and reversibility, ours delivers both. It is durable enough for garment assembly while remaining deconstructable, making it ideal for recycling and circular manufacturing. The apparel assembly process utilizes a hot melt adhesive dispense system and proprietary bonding methods to securely join the adhesive and fabric. At the end of a garment’s life, bonded seams can be heated beyond everyday wear and care conditions to reverse the adhesive, allowing for simple disassembly and enabling scalable, automated garment recycling without manual labor.

Our adhesive is designed to meet industry safety standards. While testing is ongoing, we are commied to ensuring material safety and minimizing environmental impact in garment production and recycling.

Our adhesive is designed to perform across both knits and wovens, with a current focus on coon and low-spandex polyester blends. It delivers durability and strength comparable to existing market adhesives while enabling seamless integration into manufacturing processes. We are continuously refining performance metrics to match and exceed industry standards. For more details on our material rollout, see question 6.

Yes, bonded products oer superior durability and performance, making them a strong alternative to traditional sewing methods. Our patented technology resists yellowing from oxidation, unlike polyurethane and acrylate-based adhesives. This ensures long-term durability and color stability, preserving both performance and aesthetics over time. Additionally, it is engineered for superior resistance to environmental factors, oering a more reliable alternative to traditional bonding methods that degrade with exposure to air and light.

Our initial focus is on coon and low-spandex polyester blends, where we have validated durability and strength comparable to existing adhesives. By starting with these textiles, we ensure reliable performance in real-world applications before expanding to additional fabric types. We are collaborating with industry partners to scale this technology and integrate it into manufacturing workflows.

We are expanding compatibility with more textiles to drive broader industry adoption. Our next phase includes working with recycling partners to integrate automated garment disassembly into existing recycling processes. Beyond apparel, we are engaging with partners to explore licensing opportunities in sectors like automotive and healthcare, where this technology can enhance eiciency and recyclability. We welcome industry partnerships—let’s connect.
