GLYON

Founded in 2024 and based in Copenhagen, Denmark, GLYON is developing a CO₂-powered, textile-to-textile chemical recycling technology. The company's process breaks down polyester textiles into their core building blocks while leaving other fibers, such as cotton, intact. These recovered materials can then be used as virgin-quality raw materials for new fibers, reducing reliance on fossil fuels, lowering water consumption, and decreasing CO₂ emissions.

The founders include CEO Eugenio Gandolfo, COO Margarita Poderyte, and Shriaya Rutershoff, who handles Funding and PR. The team also includes CSO Jiwoong Lee. GLYON is in its pre-seed funding stage and has participated in an accelerator/incubator program with Spin-outs Denmark as of January 2024.

GLYON's business model is B2B, targeting fiber producers, fashion brands, and textile recyclers who require circular raw material solutions. The technology aims to address the significant environmental problem of textile waste, where over 92 million tonnes are discarded annually, by providing an alternative to landfill and incineration.
