Polymer Science Company Developing Next-Gen Materials | www.oceansafe.co

Info

OceanSafe AG is a Swiss polymer science company dedicated to developing next-gen textile materials. Founded in 2019 by Manuel Schweizer in Bern, Switzerland, the award-winning company is driven by a vision of a future where resource depletion is eliminated, and all materials are engineered for true circularity—leaving no waste behind. OceanSafe operates a technology licensing business. Their high-performance materials are utilized by the world’s leading brands. OceanSafe Materials Using OceanSafe materials in textiles addresses environmental and health-related issues commonly associated with conventional materials. These issues include persistent microplastics polluting the environment, excessive use of limited resources, toxicity, water pollution, and textile waste. The textile industry’s impact on the environment is massive, and it’s time for a change. naNea by OceanSafe naNea is a novel co-polyester designed for both biodegradability and recyclability. The material is made from bio-based, recycled, or virgin feedstocks. Its polymer structure enables rapid biodegradability in the open environment, without the use of additives or enzyme technology. It’s most important characteristics are: • Biodegradable in marine environment (according to ASTM D6691-17) • Recyclable alongside conventional polyester • Fully circular (no waste) • Cradle to Cradle Certified® Gold • Not ecotoxic • No toxicants and other hazardous substances • Highly industrially scalable • Compatible with existing equipment (drop-in technology) • Safe for the consumer Stay tuned for exciting new developments and updates - follow us to be the first to know what's coming next!

    🌞 We hope many of you are enjoying a relaxing summer holiday. If you don't have any naNea® clothing in your suitcase yet, we have one small request: 😉 Please help reduce unnecessary microplastic pollution caused by textile abrasion – and even by washing your clothes. With naNea®, that problem is already solved. 😊 Enjoy the summer, nature and the ocean. Meanwhile, we'll keep working to make the next generation of textiles protect our environment instead of polluting it. Have a wonderful holiday! 🌊💙

    Microplastic is everywhere. We find it in our oceans, our food chain, and even in our bodies. One major contributor is the textile industry, where synthetic fibers are released through washing, wearing, and abrasion. At OceanSafe, we believe the solution is not only collecting waste — it is designing smarter materials from the beginning. This is why we developed naNea. The magic is the combination: ✓ Microfibers designed to biodegrade instead of becoming persistent microplastics ✓ Cradle to Cradle Certified® Gold — developed with material health at its core ✓ No antimony-based catalysts ✓ Outstanding performance and exceptional comfort ✓ Lower processing energy ✓ Designed for the biological cycle and easy depolymerization back to its building blocks Because the future of textiles is not only about what we create. It is about what we leave behind. naNea by OceanSafe. High performance. Safe for the biological cycle. #OceanSafe #CradletoCradle #naNea #StopMicroplastics #NextGenMaterials #CircularMaterials

    Happy with Happypunt 👍

    Today was one of those days that shows how long visions sometimes take — until suddenly everything comes together. 🌈 Happypunt from Spain, a company that has been developing fashion for some of the world’s most recognized brands for many years, has supported naNea since the very early days. Back when much of it was still just a vision, Chicho Ódena was one of the first people to truly believe in naNea. Years ago, he purchased the very first container of naNea yarn and encouraged large-scale productions in Asia to become Cradle to Cradle Certified. At a time when many people were still questioning whether something like this was even possible. Today, we had the pleasure of welcoming Chicho Ódena and Pau Bruguera to OceanSafe in Bern. And now things are getting really exciting: naNea has now reached commercially viable pricing, while Happypunt has built an impressive production platform in Tunisia. Together, we are now ready to take the next step — moving from pilot projects into real industrial volumes. This is exactly what we have been working towards for all these years. A big thank you to Knut Rütters, Chicho, and Pau for this inspiring and successful day. The next chapter starts now. 🚀 #happypunt #naNea #Cradletocradle #stoppmicroplastic #BiodegradablePolyester #HighperformanceMaterials #Antimonyfree

    Circular solutions for corporate wear are already a reality. Last week, we had the pleasure of welcoming a special group to our lab in Bern: Kilian Baeriswil from the Federal Office for the Environment brought together around 50 procurement experts as part of PROCURE.ch — with one clear goal: to see real, tangible solutions. And that is exactly what we demonstrated. 🔹 From theory to real-world applications • Andi Stier from armasuisse presented the civil service T-shirt project • Remo Röntgen from Fabric C showcased inherently flame-retardant curtain fabrics, upholstery materials, and hospital textiles made from naNea® 🔹 Rethinking materials Manuel Schweizer presented OceanSafe’s philosophy and technology: Materials should not be “improved” through additives or recycled content — they must be designed right from the start. Because: 👉 What becomes waste or ends up toxic was never sustainable — it had a quality problem. 🔹 Live in the lab A key highlight: We demonstrated live how naNea® not only delivers outstanding performance, from moisture management to inherent flame retardancy, but can also be easily depolymerized back into its original building blocks. 🔹 The future, in your hands Impetus Group Portugal presented finished garments made from naNea® and naNea®/TENCEL™, making innovation tangible and ready to experience. With naNea® yarns from Rütex GmbH, RadiciGroup and Gatronova, it is already possible today to combine responsibility and performance — with products that also deliver exceptional handfeel. Design without compromise — for customers and the environment. #OceanSafe #naNea #CircularMaterials #CorporateWear #Procurement #Innovation #Textiles #Sustainability
