Transforming plastic wastethrough enzymaticinnovation
Enzale is a platform to accelerate enzymatic plastic recycling and build the streetwear of the future.
Our Vision
Fashion without fossil guilt. Enzale is building a lab‑to‑street pipeline where enzymes: not petro‑chemistry: transform post‑consumer waste into high‑grade fibers and finishes for modern streetwear. We're designing for durability, repairability, and circularity so style can be bold without the hidden cost.
What we're building toward
Materials:
Recycled inputs refined via targeted enzymes for cleaner, scalable pathways.
Performance:
Fibers and coatings engineered for wear, comfort, and longevity.
Circular design:
Garments built for disassembly, reprocessing, and repeat life cycles.
Transparent impact:
Third‑party testing and lifecycle assessment as pilots mature.
Why it matters
Fast fashion is linear and extractive; "sustainable" too often means marketing. Enzymes unlock a precise, lower‑tox route to real material circularity: turning waste streams into future fabrics without greenwashing.
Near‑term milestones
Lab partnerships for enzyme screening and material trials
Pilot batches for mechanical and wear testing
Capsule prototypes to validate performance and aesthetics
Early collaborations with mills and brands to scale production
Join us in building the backbone for streetwear that looks forward: and loops back.
The Process
Collection
We envision sourcing plastic waste from post-consumer and post-industrial streams, creating a truly circular material economy.
Enzymatic Breakdown
Our approach will use enzymes to break down plastic polymers at the molecular level, returning them to their original monomers.
Reconstruction
Pure materials will be transformed into high-performance textiles that define the next generation of sustainable streetwear.
The Opportunity
The scale of change we're building toward
Global plastic production: ~400 million tons/year.
Only ~9% is currently recycled; the rest is incinerated, landfilled, or leaked into the environment.
Polyester textiles (primary target): ~60–70 million tons/year.
Enzymatic recycling offers a pathway to close the loop without degrading material quality.
