Every year, 92+ million tonnes of textile go to waste globally. By 2030, that number could reach 134 million. The apparel industry alone generates up to 10% of global CO2e emissions and ~20% of the planet's wastewater. ~80% of apparel’s carbon footprint can be traced back to fabric and production.

SXD turns the 92 million tons of fabric material wasted each year into an opportunity: we transform waste from the past into valuable new products and eliminate future waste through automated zero waste product design scaled through AI. Our patent-published AI platform eliminates waste created in the design process. This approach results in up to 80% reduction in CO2 emissions and up to 10x the savings achieved by any other technology today.

In the past year, SXD has sharpened our focus on global brands and manufacturers in apparel and automotive. By reducing the material used in the production of millions of products, we can make enormous impact quickly at scale. Unlike many innovations in sustainable fashion, brands and manufacturers using our technology do not have to wait years for new materials or new processes to commercialize: 20+ partners are implementing our solution today. Together we avoid emissions, water use, electricity consumption, and increasing the waste that ends up in landfills. Our intervention is simple but systemic. By eliminating waste at the source, we prevent a host of pernicious, interlocking social problems that stymie governments and institutions worldwide, from groundwater pollution to global warming to microplastics that affect human and animal health.
