We turn carbon emissions into natural carbon-negative textiles. Rubi is building a future where human prosperity and economic growth are planet-positive.

We're unlocking CO2 as a natural resource for making critical materials, cost competitively, with our cell-free enzymatic technology platform. We're producing carbon-negative textiles for the fashion industry first. We make the same textiles apparel brands already use today, for half the cost of cotton at scale, and completely carbon-negative and water- and land-neutral. Our company is built on high-quality science, a focus on impact, honesty & transparency, and a sense of purpose in everything we do. We're backed by leading investors including Talis Capital, Plug and Play, Incite.org, Necessary Ventures, and Climactic VC.
