A fashion tech company based in San Francisco and Hong Kong, Unspun is partnering with global sports brand Decathlon. The company has developed a revolutionary 3D machine, ‘Vega’ to reduce textile waste and transform apparel production.
Unspun’s collaboration with Decathlon focuses on reducing textile waste, by utilising Vega™ technology. The initiative helps Unspunpioneer local, low-waste, on-demand production in Europe, offering sustainable solutions to mainstream consumers.
The partnership will kick off with the production of golf pants, using Vega’s seamless tubular design to improve garment construction. Walden Lam, CEO and Co-founder, Unspun believes the collaboration will help bring sustainable apparel to a larger market.
Walden Lam, Kevin Martin, and Beth Esponnette, Co-founders, Unspun share a commitment to sustainability, aiming to reduce global carbon emissions by 1 per cent. Martin emphasisedon the importance of cutting waste and inefficiency, stating, optimising production and reducing excess, presents the company with a massive opportunity for both financial gain and environmental impact.
The EU’s new recycling mandates further support Unspun's vision, requiring separate textile waste collection to keep clothing out of landfills. As more brands look to reduce waste, innovations like Unspun’s Vega™ are becoming increasingly attractive. Unspun’s partnership with Decathlon marks a key step toward a future of sustainable, efficient, and profitable textile production.
