Tyton BioSciences helps industries meet consumer expectations for sustainability without compromises in quality, price, or convenience. It recycles discarded clothing to produce the basis of petroleum- and plant-based fabrics. Tyton’s virgin-equivalent, market-grade dissolving pulp, and petroleum monomers can be sold at the same cost as virgin materials to manufacturers who make fibers. Whether cotton, poly-cotton, polyester, nylon, or other fibers, it aims to cost-effectively recycle these materials using water as a solvent. It was founded in 2011 and is headquartered in Danville, Virginia.
