Description

Join us as we chat to Shay Sethi, co-founder of Ambercycle, a company pioneering molecular regeneration technology to transform end-of-life textiles into new, high-performance fibres. Their signature material, cycora®, offers a sustainable alternative to virgin polyester and tackles the growing challenge of synthetic waste in fashion.


We explore Shay’s journey with co-founder Moby Ahmed — from their intense student days to building a company now partnering with global brands. Along the way, Shay shares the grit, determination, and purpose it takes to bring true material innovation to market. Perfect for anyone curious about circular fashion, recycled textiles, or the future of sustainable materials.
