Ravel raises $8.2M to scale tech that removes elastane (spandex) from clothing and makes recycled polyester pellets
Seattle startup Ravel raised $8.2 million to scale its technology that removes elastane (spandex/Lycra) from blended fabrics and converts it into recycled plastic pellets for polyester production, enabling commercial-scale validation with textile partners; the process is marketed as energy-efficient and waste-minimizing.
Ravel Raises $8.2M to Scale Elastane-Removal Recycling That Preserves Polyester
Seattle startup Ravel raised $8.2 million to scale a recycling process that removes elastane and dyes while preserving polyester so blended textiles can be recycled more cheaply. The funding will help move its pilot poly-elastane recycling technology toward commercial-scale operations.
Seattle Startup Ravel Raises Pre-Seed Funding to Commercialize Technology Separating Elastane for Textile Recycling
Seattle startup Ravel has developed a proprietary technology that separates elastane from blended fabrics to enable environmentally friendly textile recycling and has raised undisclosed pre-seed funding to expand its deployment. Their process produces cost-competitive recycled plastic pellets for polyester fabric manufacturing, aiming to reduce textile waste going to landfills.
