Rethread Africa The Sustainable Materials Startup

Rethread Africa bioengineers microbes to upcycle agricultural waste from smallholder farmers into carbon-neutral materials, particularly focusing on producing polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) bioplastics. These materials have versatile applications in fashion, automotive interiors, and packaging industries, providing an eco-friendly alternative to synthetic plastics. Given the regulatory pressure and consumer demand, we are focusing on fashion.
