Athletic apparel company lululemon athletica and Australian environmental technology startup Samsara Eco announced a new 10-year offtake agreement, providing recycled raw materials including nylon and polyester for use in Lululemon’s products.
According to the companies, the new agreement could see Samsara Eco’s materials support approximately 20% of lululemon’s overall fibers portfolio.
Launched in 2021, Samsara Eco uses enzymatic technology to recycle plastic, using enzymes to turn complex plastics back into their original chemical building blocks, enabling their re-use to produce new virgin-grade plastics without relying on fossil fuels.
The agreement marks the latest in a series of collaborations between the companies.
