The news: Activewear brand LSKD has signed a 10-year partnership deal with circular materials innovator Samsara Eco.
The context: Under the partnership, LSKD will transition key product lines from nylon 6 to Samsara Eco’s recycled nylon 6,6 from 2028. The shift marks LSKD’s first use of regenerated fibres sourced from end-of-life textile.
Samsara Eco said it uses AI-designed enzymes to break down textiles into their original molecular components, which are then repolymerised into virgin-identical materials with a lower carbon footprint. The company said the process allows materials to be recycled continuously without compromising quality.
The announcement follows Samsara Eco’s 10-year partnership deal with Lululemon last year to supply recycled nylon and polyester across around 20% of its product range.
Samsara recently opened a new plant in regional Australia and said its first dedicated circular nylon 6,6 plant in Asia is expected to be operational from 2028.
What they said: "We’re at a tipping point for circular fashion. This 10-year partnership with LSKD shows that circular materials have shifted from early-stage innovation to mainstream reality — and brands are in this for the long haul,” Samsara Eco CEO Paul Riley said.
“The technology is here, ready for adoption and with zero constraints on product design or performance. And that’s how we speed up the transition — by making circularity the easy choice,” he added.
