Senior Project Manager - Sustainable Manufacturing

We are a sustainability-focused startup developing cutting-edge technologies for the recycling and regeneration of textiles, beginning with nylon-based materials. Our mission is to drive circularity in the textile industry—an industry responsible for nearly 10% of global CO₂ emissions yet recycling less than 1% of its waste.

Our innovations have been validated by leading global brands in fashion and automotive, including Victoria’s Secret, and we’ve raised over €7M in funding from top-tier investors such as EQT Ventures. As we move toward delivering our first commercial-scale volumes through a new demonstration facility, we’re building a talented team to help us make this vision a reality.
