Fabricure turns the global textile waste crisis into a regenerative opportunity by transforming discarded clothing into a plantable soil amendment. Their proprietary process converts fabric waste into compost that enhances soil structure, improves water retention and boosts microbial activity. With this solution, Fabricure is helping geographies threatened by desertification and food insecurity to increase crop yields without relying on mineral fertilisers.

At the heart of its model are Fabric Credits. Fashion brands finance the recovery, processing, and transformation of fabric waste, ensuring waste is traceably managed and transformed. This system generates both environmental and social benefits, through working primarily with women-owned recycling partners to process 50 tonnes of textile waste every month in the waste hotspots of Ghana, Togo, Kenya and Chile.

Fabricure has designed a circular solution that reduces waste to landfill, revitalises soils to support food production and creates livelihoods in developing regions.
