At FabricaX, PLNTmatter presents a new generation of high-performance fibres engineered entirely from plants, not petrochemicals. Designed to feel luxurious, function at an elite level, and regenerate the ecosystems they come from.
PLNTmatter develops textiles and biomaterials using natural processes and regenerative chemistry, inspired by biomimicry rather than fossil fuel dependency.
Using regenerative bamboo, we create durable, breathable, high-performance fibres with an elevated hand-feel. Our modular, low-impact manufacturing enables industrial scalability without toxic inputs, hazardous solvents, or extractive feedstocks.
We’re proving that performance and planetary health don’t compete; they compound.
The PLNTmatter System
Built on principles of biomimicry, the PLNTmatter system draws from nature’s intelligent processes of breaking down, rebuilding, and regenerating, converting underutilised plant matter into advanced textiles with minimal inputs. Our clean chemistry reduces energy, water, and waste at every stage, creating high-performance materials that are both cost-efficient and ecologically aligned.
BIOnutrient™ Formula
Developed from composted bamboo, this biomimetic nutrient blend jump-starts the natural breakdown and purification of cellulose, using only nature-based components to enhance efficiency.
BIOmatter™ Treated Chips
Through BIOnutrient™ conditioning, the biomass converts into cleaner, more concentrated cellulose chips that can enter standard pulping, reducing the energy, chemicals, and cost required by the mill.
PUREmatter™ Cellulose
Using Mothership Materials’ Microfactory technology, our PUREmatter™ cellulose is refined into a high-purity crystalline material that replaces dissolving pulp, enables cleaner wet spinning, and remains cost-competitive with current pulp prices.
DEEPmatter™ Solvent Chemistry
Guided by nature’s intelligence, this lower-temperature, lower-chemistry process replaces lyocell, integrates into existing wet-spinning lines, and delivers stronger, higher-performing fibers.
CleanBamboo® Materials
Made from regenerative bamboo and produced through gentle, closed-loop chemistry, these adaptable materials; from fiber to yarn to textile; deliver softness, impressive durability, comfort, and functional performance without petrochemical inputs.
Beyond Petrochemicals
CleanBamboo® materials demonstrate that natural fibers can meet modern performance expectations, enabling a shift away from petrochemical dependency by offering a viable, lower-impact pathway for high-function textiles.
Regenerative Input Streams
Regeneratively grown bamboo and upcycled agricultural byproducts form the core feedstocks, supporting healthier ecosystems and rural economies while reducing pressure on extractive, resource-intensive supply chains.
Industrial Compatibility, Instant Scalability
Our drop-in processes remove barriers to adoption—integrating into existing manufacturing lines while significantly reducing cost through higher efficiency, lower resource use, and reduced energy demand, enabling rapid, global-scale integration of next-gen materials.
Materials In Motion
These garments demonstrate how CleanBamboo® unlocks new possibilities for natural performance in both lifestyle and technical applications. Developed with SILSA, Acatel, and Casa da Malha, they bring together breakthrough material innovation with expert construction, high-precision finishing, and responsible European manufacturing.
