Planet regenerating fibres
Ponda is a biomaterials company developing novel textiles from truly regenerative fibres. We connect the regeneration of some of our most precious ecosystems to the production of responsible materials for the textile industry. We believe in empowering fashion brands to weave regeneration into the clothes we wear.
Lightweight, warm, and naturally water repellent. BioPuff® is cruelty-free and traceable all the way from plant-to-puffer.
BioPuff® is an insulation designed to keep you warm whilst regenerating some of our most precious ecosystems. This next-generation insulation, which reduces reliance on feather and synthetic fillers, is created by extracting fibres from plants that aid in wetland regeneration.
Ponda's biomaterials will lead to a net-reduction in carbon emissions, create sanctuaries for biodiverse ecosystems, build climate resilience, and protect farmers livelihoods.
By replacing your current jacket filling with BioPuff® you could...
Regenerate 10 mt2 of land.
And abate 40kg of CO2
Make wetlands
wet again.
What is Paludiculture?
Paludiculture ("marsh-farming") is the practice of farming on wetlands, such as rewetted peatlands, bogs and fens. Peatlands are naturally some of the oldest and most healing environments on our planet. They're estimated to hold over 40% of all soil carbon, twice as much as all forests in the world combined.
Regenerating wetlands with Typha Latifolia: A sustainable solution that sequesters carbon, supports biodiversity, and sustains farmers' livelihoods.
Ponda partners with farmers and conservation groups to regenerate carbon-emitting wetlands by cultivating typha latifolia, a plant well suited for rebuilding damaged wetland environments. Typha is an ideal, low-maintenance crop which is grown using a process called paludiculture. Some of the many benefits of typha are that it can grow quickly (sequestering lots of carbon), create habitats (uplifting biodiversity) whilst also providing a high-quality fibre for textile production. This new form of regenerative design enables us to begin having the impact we need whilst ensuring continuity of farmers’ livelihoods.
