Radically sustainable and ethical textiles, engineered from food waste.
About us
ALT TEX is reimagining the uninventive and envrionmentally disastrous materials used in the fashion industry for decades. As the demand for fashion continues to grow, textile production cannot continue to happen at the cost of the planet. At ALT TEX, we believe the solution lies getting creative with the materials we already have, rather than manufacturing new ones.

We were recently invited to visit state-of-the-art textile manufacturing factories in China alongside the H&M Foundation and HKRITA - The Hong Kong Research Institute of Textiles and Apparel Limited. This incredible learning opportunity gave us a look into where our plug-and-play food waste-based fiber could be manufactured in the near future. Thank you to the Global Change Award team for having us!
Last week, we had the pleasure of meeting the winners of H&M Foundation's Global Change Award (GCA) 2023! To provide winners with a comprehensive experience, we coordinated with Crystal International Group Limited and Esquel Group as well as its partners for guided factory visits in Guangdong, China, observing their progress in digitalization, automation and sustainable development. We also welcomed them to our research labs at #HKSTP, where we showcased our latest innovations and provided technical support through a workshop. Congratulations to the winners! We hope this meeting was valuable and look forward to seeing how their innovations reinvent the fashion and textile industry. #GlobalChangeAward #GCA2023 #PlanetPositive #CrystalInternational #EsquelGroup #HMF #HKRITA Algreen Ltd.
