Carbon-Negative Fibre Infrastructure™
Your next fibre was captured, not extracted.
Each kilogram of fibre locks away more CO₂ than it emits, turning a pollutant into a product
A proprietary conversion process turns captured CO₂ directly into textile-grade cellulose
Positioned for Pakistan's textile exporters facing tightening EU carbon regulation
CarbonYarn™ produces textile-grade cellulose fibre not from trees or oil, but from captured industrial carbon dioxide. The result is a premium, Lyocell-grade material comparable to TENCEL, but carbon-negative rather than carbon-intensive.
For South Asian textile exporters, whose largest customer is Europe, the carbon intensity of their materials is shifting from a reputational concern to a direct cost of doing business. A domestically produced, compliance-ready premium fibre changes that equation.
Why Now
The EU's Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism entered its definitive period in January 2026, placing a real, rising cost on carbon-intensive imports, and that pressure travels back through supply chains to the mills and brands that source from exporters. Finished apparel isn't tariffed directly at the border today, but the direction of travel is unmistakable. The EU's Digital Product Passport will bring granular, comparable carbon data to textiles, with compliance realistically landing around 2028, making every product's footprint visible to buyers and regulators alike. Exporters who move to carbon-negative fibre now won't be scrambling when that arrives.
Three stages turn industrial CO₂ into a textile-grade yarn your supply chain already knows how to use.
CO₂ concentrated at the source
Turned directly into cellulose
Spun into continuous, spoolable fibre

Net carbon locked away per kg of yarn produced
No wood pulp, unlike conventional viscose and modal
Decouples fibre production from agriculture entirely
Closed-loop spinning recycles its own solvent
*Per kilogram of material, full lifecycle. CarbonYarn figure is a conservative net balance; modelling indicates -1.65 to -1.77 kg CO₂e/kg.
Unlike offsets that merely avoid emissions, the carbon in CarbonYarn is physically built into the fibre, sequestered for the functional life of the textile, typically 10 to 30 years.
CarbonYarn's process contributes directly to six of the UN's 17 Sustainable Development Goals.

Total Climate Benefit

CO₂ Removed

That's the same as...
Figures are illustrative and pre-commercial. "Emissions avoided" is the lifecycle footprint of the conventional material you select, which CarbonYarn replaces. "CO₂ removed" is the CO₂ that CarbonYarn locks away, more than 1.5 kg CO₂e per kg of fibre (a conservative figure; detailed modelling indicates -1.65 to -1.77 kg CO₂e/kg). Equivalences use US EPA factors: 0.25 kg CO₂ per km driven by an average passenger vehicle, 8 g per smartphone charge, and 2.35 kg per litre of petrol burned. They express the scale of the benefit, not a direct offset, and are shown as "<1" rather than rounded up whenever the benefit does not yet reach a whole unit.
Born from a simple conviction, that the carbon we treat as waste is the most valuable raw material we have
"For as long as I can remember, I've been preoccupied with one question: how do we keep industry growing without letting it cost us the planet? The more I looked, the more it became clear that CO₂ sits at the centre of it all, it is the problem, but it can also be the answer. CarbonYarn™ is my attempt to prove that the carbon we emit can be turned into the fibre we wear."
M. Matee
Founder, CarbonYarn
A DRG Group of Companies venture
The idea grew out of years of thinking about environmental change and where its real drivers lie. Industrial CO₂ kept coming back as the common thread, vast, unwanted, and treated purely as a liability. The opportunity was hiding in plain sight: if that carbon could be captured and rebuilt into something useful, the equation would flip entirely.
CarbonYarn is built and led as a solo founding venture, lean by design, focused on doing the hard technical and commercial work properly rather than chasing scale prematurely. The goal is to turn captured industrial carbon into premium, carbon-negative cellulose fibre that textile exporters can actually use.
CarbonYarn is the first venture under the DRG Group of Companies, a long-term industrial vision to build carbon-negative manufacturing infrastructure from the ground up. This is not a quick exit; it is the start of an industrial buildout measured in decades, not quarters.
