revoltech

Why use fossil-based, synthetic textiles when nature has already cracked the code? 🌿 At revoltech, we looked at the waste from hemp cultivation—a crop already working overtime as a carbon sink—and thought: why leave this incredible resource behind? Why not turn it into something that benefits both the planet and the industries we rely on daily? That’s how we developed LOVR™. Our 100% plant-based, biodegradable textile doesn't just feel good—it’s doing good for the earth. No plastic, no toxins. Just hemp residue transformed into a high-performance material. Sustainable? Check. Circular? Absolutely. Made with love for the future? You bet. #HempRevolution #LOVR #SustainableInnovation #MaterialScience #CircularEconomy #EcoFriendlyTextiles #BiodegradableMaterials #RevolutionizingTextiles #CleanMaterials #FutureOfFashion #PlantBasedInnovation #NoPlastics

🌿 Excited to speak at the Stiftung Entrepreneurship's #EntrepreneurshipSummit2024 this weekend! I'll be joining a panel titled "Rohstoffe von morgen – Plastik war gestern: Gründer berichten über ihre Erfindungen" alongside Dr. Petra Ryl, Annekathrin Grüneberg, and Katharina Kremer. 📅 Date: October 14, 2024 🕓 Time: 17:15 - 18:15 📍 Room: Hörsaal D I’ll be sharing insights on LOVR™, our plant-based material revolutionizing the textile industry, and discussing the future of sustainable innovation. Looking forward to seeing you there! Special thanks to Dr. Johanna Richter for making this happen 🤗 #EntrepreneurshipSummit #Sustainability #Innovation #LOVR #Revoltech

Ever wondered what happens when you completely reimagine how a company works? We did exactly that at revoltech. Imagine a workplace without managers, where every voice matters, and decisions are made together. 🤝✨ That’s the magic of holacracy—the self-managed model we’re actively adopting to replace traditional hierarchies. With roles spanning R&D, Business Development, Marketing, and Sustainability, our team is driven by purpose and flexibility. While Role Leads offer guidance, everyone has a hand in making things happen. Is this process ever fully complete? Not at all. Holacracy requires us to continuously adapt and stay agile to respond to changing situations and challenges. It’s a work in progress, just like us, as we grow and evolve as a dynamic startup. Is it always smooth sailing? Nope! But the payoff—breaking down silos, sparking bold ideas, and fostering real collaboration—makes it all worthwhile. 🌱 Have you ever worked in a self-managed system like holacracy? We’d love to hear your thoughts and tips in the comments below! 👇

What a ride! 🚀 🤯 We are still pinching ourselves—so many people have mentioned us and written incredible articles about our latest milestone! It’s hard to believe, but we’ve just announced two major collaborations: Volkswagen Group is partnering with revoltech to introduce our plant-based leather alternative, LOVR™, into vehicle interiors! At the same time, we are thrilled to work with ID Genève Watches to bring LOVR™ into the straps of their upcoming collection. A huge thanks to our partners, supporters, and everyone believing in our mission. We’re thrilled to push the boundaries of sustainable innovation together! 🙌 Let’s keep making waves together! 🌊

🌳💚 We place a high value on sustainability, which is why it is part of our 10-point plan. A key objective is to integrate sustainable, regrowing materials in our vehicles. 🤝 We already use hemp fibres in various interior components, and now, with the collaboration of Volkswagen and revoltech GmbH, an innovative hemp-based leather is being developed that could redefine car interiors. #Sustainability #Innovation #VolkswagenGroup #IndustrialHempLeather

What if the future of car interiors was entirely plant-based? 🌿 We’re beyond excited to announce that our journey with LOVR™ has taken a significant leap forward! We’ve officially partnered with Volkswagen to bring our 100% bio-based leather alternative, made from industrial hemp, into the automotive industry. 🚗 When can you expect to see this? Volkswagen plans to introduce this cutting-edge material in car interiors by 2028, setting a new standard for eco-friendly automotive design. 💬 Lucas Fuhrmann, one of our Co-Founders at revoltech, shared: “This partnership with Volkswagen is a testament to the power of innovation in achieving a sustainable future. We believe that by combining our expertise in bio-based materials with Volkswagen’s commitment to innovation, we can create a truly circular solution for the automotive industry.” We’re excited to see how this collaboration will shape the future of car interiors and promote a more sustainable, resource-efficient approach to vehicle development. 🔗 For more details, check out the full press release

We're incredibly honored to be part of this groundbreaking collaboration with Volkswagen! Together, we're taking a major step toward a more sustainable future for the automotive industry. Our 100% bio-based leather alternative made from industrial hemp is just the beginning of what’s possible when innovation meets commitment to the environment. We’re excited to see how this partnership will reshape car interiors and contribute to resource-saving technologies. Thank you, Volkswagen, for the shared vision and trust in our materials!

🌱 Yesterday was a remarkable day! As part of the Bioeconomy Deep Dive project, we hosted an engaging session at the RootCamp office with experts from across the entire industry hemp value chain. Our goal was to discuss the current state of the industry and explore future scenarios. 💚 A special thanks to Bundesministerium für Ernährung und Landwirtschaft (BMEL) and Rentenbank for commissioning and funding this important initiative. We also extend our gratitude to all the enthusiastic participants from corporates, startups, and research institutions: KWS Group, Fraunhofer WKI, University of Hohenheim, Hochschule Osnabrück, Rottal Hanf GmbH, revoltech, GOENOMICS GmbH, Nutzhanf-Netzwerk e.V. and many more. 🎯 We successfully achieved our main objective: fostering multilateral exchange along the industry hemp value chain. Together, we mapped key stakeholders, analyzed drivers, identified obstacles, and brainstormed potential solutions. The consensus was clear: transitioning from a fossil-based to a bio-based economy is essential, and promoting industrial hemp is a vital step in the right direction. 💙 Thank you to all the dedicated individuals who contributed to this insightful discussion: Freya Fehr, Leon Freitag, M. Eng. Henrik Pauly, Dr. Patrick Thorwarth, Ernst Kuersten, Franz-Peter Schollen, Herbert Schütte, Morgan-Lee Wagner, Matthias Schwarz, Robert Schwemmer, Michel Finke, Dr. Christian Schmidt, Martin Kollmar, Ludwig Wreesmann Lukas Hoyos and of course the amazing RootCamp Team for conceptualizing and organizing the workshop Dr. Philipp Rittershaus Annkathrin Wahbi Liza Ziva Gereon von Ilten Mario Verbeek Ilka Gomez Looking forward to continuing this important work together!
