CARBON-TO-FIBER INFRASTRUCTURE™
Your next fiber was captured, not extracted.
Each kilogram of fiber locks away more CO₂ than it emits, turning a pollutant into a product
A proprietary conversion process turns captured CO₂ directly into textile-grade cellulose
Positioned for Pakistan's textile exporters facing tightening EU carbon regulation
CarbonYarn™ produces textile-grade cellulose fiber not from trees or oil, but from captured industrial carbon dioxide. The result is a premium, Lyocell-grade material comparable to TENCEL, with its carbon drawn from an off-gas stream instead of a forest.
For South Asian textile exporters, whose largest customer is Europe, the carbon intensity of their materials is shifting from a reputational concern to a direct cost of doing business. A domestically produced, compliance-ready premium fiber changes that equation.
The pressure on a mill is commercial before it is regulatory. Brands committing to Scope 3 reductions have one real lever, the purchase order, so fiber origin and emissions data are already arriving as conditions of sale. European product rules under ESPR and the Digital Product Passport follow on a slower timetable.
Why Now
EU carbon regulation is shifting from a reputational concern to a direct cost of doing business. Exporters who move to carbon-negative fiber now won't be scrambling when it lands.
The EU's Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism now puts a real, rising cost on carbon-intensive imports, and that pressure travels back through supply chains to the mills and brands that source from exporters.
The EU's Digital Product Passport will bring granular, comparable carbon data to textiles, making every product's footprint visible to buyers and regulators alike.
Three stages turn industrial CO₂ into a textile-grade yarn your supply chain already knows how to use.
CO₂ concentrated at the source
Turned directly into cellulose
Spun into continuous, spoolable fiber
Rotate a live 3D model of the process and step through each stage in detail.
See the Full TechnologyConventional textiles emit carbon during production. Our process does the opposite, and avoids the land, water, and feedstock burdens of traditional fibers.
Net carbon locked away per kg of yarn produced
No wood pulp, unlike conventional viscose and modal
Decouples fiber production from agriculture entirely
Closed-loop spinning recycles its own solvent
*Per kilogram of material, full lifecycle. CarbonYarn figure is a conservative net balance; modelling indicates -1.65 to -1.77 kg CO₂e/kg.
The carbon in CarbonYarn is physically part of the fiber, not an offset certificate bought against it. It stays there for the life of the textile. That is storage, not permanent removal, and we report it as storage.
CarbonYarn's process contributes directly to six of the UN's 17 Sustainable Development Goals.

Total Climate Benefit
CO₂ avoided plus CO₂ actively removed
Emissions Avoided

CO₂ Removed
0.0 kg
That's the same as...
Figures are illustrative and pre-commercial. "Emissions avoided" is the lifecycle footprint of the conventional material you select, which CarbonYarn replaces. "CO₂ removed" is the CO₂ that CarbonYarn locks away, more than 1.5 kg CO₂e per kg of fiber (a conservative figure; detailed modelling indicates -1.65 to -1.77 kg CO₂e/kg). Equivalences use US EPA factors: 0.25 kg CO₂ per km driven by an average passenger vehicle, 8 g per smartphone charge, and 2.35 kg per litre of petrol burned. They express the scale of the benefit, not a direct offset, and are shown as "<1" rather than rounded up whenever the benefit does not yet reach a whole unit.
Born from a simple conviction, that the carbon we treat as waste is the most valuable raw material we have
"For as long as I can remember, I've been preoccupied with one question: how do we keep industry growing without letting it cost us the planet? The more I looked, the more it became clear that CO₂ sits at the centre of it all, it is the problem, but it can also be the answer. CarbonYarn™ is my attempt to prove that the carbon we emit can be turned into the fiber we wear."
Founder, CarbonYarn
The idea grew out of years of thinking about environmental change and where its real drivers lie. Industrial CO₂ kept coming back as the common thread, vast, unwanted, and treated purely as a liability. The opportunity was hiding in plain sight: if that carbon could be captured and rebuilt into something useful, the equation would flip entirely.
CarbonYarn is built and led as a solo founding venture, lean by design, focused on doing the hard technical and commercial work properly rather than chasing scale prematurely. The goal is to turn captured industrial carbon into premium, carbon-negative cellulose fiber that textile exporters can actually use.
CarbonYarn is the first venture under the DRG Group of Companies, a long-term industrial vision to build manufacturing infrastructure built on captured carbon from the ground up. This is not a quick exit; it is the start of an industrial buildout measured in decades, not quarters.
