Samsara Eco Opens First Plant To Scale Circular Plastics

JERRABOMBERRA, Australia — September 3, 2025 — Australian biotech company Samsara Eco has today opened its first plant, representing a significant milestone in the fight against plastic waste. The new plant will exponentially increase the company’s ability to produce virgin-identical, low-carbon circular materials like recycled nylon 6,6 and polyester with broad applications across apparel, packaging and automotives, at scale.

Located in Jerrabomberra, regional Australia, the new headquarters and plant houses EosEco, Samsara Eco’s breakthrough enzymatic recycling technology. The technology uses AI-crafted enzymes to break down mixed plastics destined for landfill into recycled raw materials, ready for brands to incorporate into their next product line. The facility also houses expanded enzyme production facilities, allowing Samsara Eco to further build out its proprietary AI-powered enzyme discovery and development platform to find recycling solutions for a broader range of plastics.

Founder and Samsara Eco CEO Paul Riley

“The opening of Jerrabomberra is a proud milestone for us and the broader circular economy. In just four years, we’ve scaled from bench research through to pilot, demonstration, and now our first plant. This is a true tipping point for circularity, shifting circular materials from early-stage innovation to mainstream reality.

“Brand demand and supportive new regulations are helping to clear the path forward. Our new facility will help brands deliver circularity with the capacity to produce the equivalent of hundreds of thousands of garments annually,” said Paul Riley, CEO and founder of Samsara Eco.

The circular materials made at Jerrabomberra will feature in upcoming product lines for global brands like lululemon, as well as pilot programs and trials with brands across textiles, automotive and packaging. The facility will also host world-first research including finding recycling solutions for the likes of spandex with The LYCRA Company, and our collaboration with Deakin University’s Recycling and Clean Energy Commercialisation Hub, part of the Australian Government’s Trailblazer Universities Program.

Today, only 10 percent of plastics are recycled and less than 1 percent of textiles are recycled into new textiles, perpetuating a linear economy. Samsara Eco aims to rewrite those numbers by recycling the unrecyclable to keep high-value materials out of the landfill.

“This isn’t just about building a plant. It’s about building a circular future where materials don’t have an end-of-life. Instead, they are infinitely recycled, reducing the world’s reliance on finite resources,” continued Riley.

Jerrabomberra provides a runway for Samsara Eco’s first nylon 6,6 commercial plant, which is being designed with engineering partner, KBR and due to open in Asia in 2028. The 20,000 tonne facility will be the first of a fleet of international commercial facilities, which will use Samsara Eco’s EosEco technology to turn waste into virgin-identical raw materials.

“Our Jerrabomberra plant marks a significant milestone in Australia’s advanced manufacturing and circular economy journey,” added Riley. “Our technology supports Australia’s net-zero targets while driving economic growth, resilience, and productivity. We’re creating an entirely new industry to unlock major export opportunities and bring new skills to market, while also helping to position Australia as a leader in circular technology and a global exporter of circular materials.

“We’re grateful for the support we’ve received from our global investors including Main Sequence and Temasek, as well as the local community, who have supported us every step of the way to make Jerrabomberra a reality.”

A consortium of Samsara Eco’s investors commented on the milestone:

Carley Phillips, principal, at Greycroft: “Samsara Eco’s new Jerrabomberra facility marks an important step towards scaling circular materials and showcasing the power of technology to transform industries. We are excited to continue supporting the team as they bring this innovation to market and drive the growth of the circular economy.”

Jan Marchewski, associate at Hitachi Ventures said: “We’ve been deeply impressed by Samsara Eco’s ability to deliver every milestone on time and on budget — an extraordinary achievement for a deep tech company. The opening of the Jerrabomberra facility is a powerful testament to the team’s execution excellence. This hub will enable Samsara Eco to test AI-discovered enzymes at scale in collaboration with partners, further cementing its market leadership in enzymatic recycling.”

Phil Morle, partner at Main Sequence commented: “Samsara Eco opening its first plant for infinite plastic recycling in regional Australia is an exemplar of Australian ingenuity leading the world to create industries for the next generation of growth. In this case, the first step to eradicating the problem of plastic waste.”

Polartec AirCore™ Harnesses The Power Of Air To Defy Performance Limits

SPARTANBURG, S.C. — September 3, 2025 — Polartec, a Milliken & Company brand renowned for pioneering more sustainable and innovative textile solutions, is proud to introduce its newest revolutionary products; Polartec® AirCore™, a truly air permeable laminate that is 100-percent free from PFAS-based chemistries and engineered to keep you dry from the inside out.

Polartec® AirCore™ membrane

Driven by the belief that perspiration impacts performance long before precipitation, Polartec AirCore offers protection against the elements while allowing vaporized sweat to escape using air and molecular diffusion. Delivering maximum aeration and breathability without sacrificing comfort, range of motion, or durability, Polartec AirCore minimizes the risk of overheating during high aerobic activities or intense physical pursuits in unpredictable conditions.

By redefining dry and prioritizing productivity, Polartec AirCore utilizes a unique combination of air permeability and Polartec’s nano-fiber membrane to keep you dry while still maintaining the windproof and water repellency of the fabric. This state-of-the-art technology leverages air to maintain a dry microclimate by evaporating sweat from the inside-out and promotes evaporative cooling, the only warmth management mechanism that truly matters for an active user. The harder you work, the harder the fabric works. Motion fuels the ventilation that ultimately carries moisture away from the body. By staying drier and more comfortable users can experience air-powered, permeable, enhanced performance.

With an industry-leading Moisture Vapor Transmission Rate (MVTR) of over 25,000 g/m²/24 hours* and air permeability ranging from 0.4 to 1 CFM**, Polartec AirCore provides unmatched performance during high-intensity activities while repelling water from the outside***.  Furthermore, the lightweight material and superior stretch enables unrestricted movement, making Polartec AirCore an ideal choice for outdoor enthusiasts, explorers, and anyone on the move.

Reflecting Polartec’s steadfast commitment to sustainability, Polartec AirCore is made with a recycled face and back, combined with a non-PFAS membrane and layers. The thoughtful construction makes it the go-to choice for those who refuse to trade sustainability for performance.

“Polartec AirCore is a perfect example of our ongoing mission to merge cutting-edge performance with sustainability. Unlike traditional waterproof-breathable membranes that rely solely on moisture vapor diffusion, our advanced air-permeable laminate uses a highly engineered nanofiber membrane technology to enable controlled airflow, actively pulling moisture and heat away from the body during intense aerobic activity. In addition to setting a new paradigm in air-permeable & breathable, weather-resistant fabrics, it reflects our unwavering commitment to reducing the environmental impact of the textiles we create,” said Ramesh Kesh, senior vice president of Milliken & Company and business manager at Polartec.

“By engineering a fabric that keeps users dry from the inside, helps to protect us from the elements, and allows full freedom of movement, we’re empowering people to embrace their most ambitious adventures. Polartec AirCore is a highly air-permeable laminate that facilitates continuous moisture vapor exchange, harnessing ambient airflow to deliver faster dry times, reduced clamminess and superior comfort even during peak exertion. It represents a bold step forward in breathable weather protection and is a concrete example of our commitment to creating performance fabrics that enable excellence while staying true to our values of environmental stewardship,” added Karen Beattie, director of Product Management at Polartec.

Polartec AirCore delivers the advantage of airflow to help you stay dry, stay cool and keep moving and will debut in September 2025 within Castelli and Sportful Autumn/Winter 2025 collections. Montura will be the first brand partner in the Italian outdoor market to adopt Polartec AirCore in its FW26 collection.

Replin By Hainsworth Marks 80 Years Of Manufacturing Transport Textiles

PUDSEY, England — September 1, 2025 — Replin by Hainsworth, a manufacturer of premium fabrics for aviation and transport interiors, is celebrating 80 years since the business was founded in 1945 by Dr. Maurus Banyai, a Hungarian refugee who specialized in textile innovation.

The company was formed in post‑war Britain and is known for revolutionizing machine‑woven wool textiles. It historically supplied fabrics to Cunard liners, Heathrow Airport terminals, and the UK Houses of Parliament. Over time, Replin established itself as a global leader in bespoke transport interiors, collaborating with longstanding aviation and rail brands such as British Airways and the Orient Express.

In 2015, Replin was acquired by 242-year-old textile mill and woolen cloth manufacturer, AW Hainsworth, merging decades‑long innovation and craftsmanship into a unified design and production facility.

Specializing in premium fabrics for aviation, Replin by Hainsworth crafts durable and visually pleasing fabrics that meet and surpass rigorous safety and performance standards — made at parent company AW Hainsworth’s vertically-integrated mill. The West Yorkshire mill is one of the few left in the United Kingdom that can process a product from raw fiber to finished cloth entirely at its site, managing the full textile lifecycle from design, production, finishing and testing at its in-house UKAS-accredited lab in Pudsey.

As part of the AW Hainsworth group, Replin carries forward over two centuries of British textile excellence, combining traditional craftsmanship with state-of-the-art production techniques. The company specializes in designing and engineering fabrics that meet rigorous safety, flammability and performance standards.

Ellie Parkes, International Sales manager at Replin, said: “Over the last 80 years, the Replin brand has developed side by side with some of the biggest names in aviation, becoming synonymous with quality and style in the global cabin-design industry. As part of the AW Hainsworth group, this reputation is enhanced by over 240 years of textile innovation. Our fabrics help to elevate the onboard experience, enhancing the airline’s brand aesthetic and ultimately improving the way people feel when they’re traveling by air.”

Replin is a trusted supplier to international airline clients, and counts British Airways, Lufthansa, American Airlines, Qatar Airways, and Virgin Atlantic among its customers.

With sustainability at the forefront, Replin’s focus today is to create and supply seating and vertical-surface fabrics to international brands, while reducing the environmental impact of transport textile production through methods that limit water consumption and chemical use in the dyeing process. It has recently joined the Green Cabin Alliance, committing to mindful manufacturing and reducing the environmental impact of aircraft cabins.

Earlier this year, Replin launched a new collection of trend-led fabrics, harnessing the natural beauty of undyed fibers, and continues to invest deeply in more sustainable production techniques, with a long-term goal of reaching net zero emissions by 2050.
