Investment thesis
Syntetica addresses textile waste by recycling nylon fibers into pellets for apparel brands and manufacturers. The company operates on a cost-competitive, scalable model with pragmatic partnerships across the fashion supply chain. Recent volatility in petrol-sourced nylon pricing and regulatory pressure on waste management create tailwinds for this solution. The firm focuses initially on nylon recycling before potentially expanding to other materials, building facilities near waste sources and textile production globally.
