Ambercycle develops molecular regeneration technology that separates and purifies discarded textiles into materials for new clothing. Its flagship product, cycora, is regenerated polyester made from textile waste, making the company a supplier of replacement raw materials for apparel brands rather than a consumer clothing label.
Its partnership with Goldwin makes the adoption of textile-derived polyester in performance apparel a concrete area to track.
Ambercycle has announced a $21.6 million raise, and in 2025 Goldwin Play Earth Fund announced a strategic investment of an undisclosed amount.
