Over the last three years, we have witnessed a massive shift in the direction of the apparel industry, a clear signal that sustainability and profitability are no longer at odds with one another. In fact, it is more evident than ever that apparel producers are actively transitioning to a more efficient, less resource-intensive operational model and consumers are demanding more mindfully made goods in new and different ways.

Our job is to find the most promising innovations that support this transition, and we’re thrilled to announce that Alante Capital has made its first two investments and is officially launched.

Initial Investments:

Replacing petroleum-based polymers for a biodegradable alternative to polyester

A clean, closed-loop process to recycle and recover apparel waste to make new fibers from old clothes
