Help build the next generation of circular materials
At The Positive Felt, we're transforming discarded textiles into high performance materials used across built setting, acoustics, automotive, garment manufacturing, packaging and more.
Our materials have already been used in projects such as the Sheraton Confluence Conference Centre in Chennai, insulation solutions for schools in Drass, and by manufacturers supplying leading fashion and carmaking brands such as Zudio or Maruti Suzuki. Every new application replaces virgin materials and proves that circular materials can compete on quality, performance and design.
Alongside commercial growth, we continuously invest in material innovation and R&D;, developing new products and unlocking new uses for textile waste.
The Good Felt was built by Enviu, a global non-profit venture builder that creates businesses tackling the world's biggest environmental challenges. Instead of simply supporting startups, Enviu builds companies that reshape industries and create entirely new markets. Today, Enviu ventures have generated €29.7 million in revenue, created 2,489 jobs, directly impacted 276,400 lives, and helped reduce more than 10.7 million kg of textile waste.
We've proven the concept. Now we're scaling, and we're looking for someone who wants to help build what comes next.
