Lululemon Invests in Nylon Recycling Startup Amid ‘Forever Chemicals’ Probe
April 15, 2026
Lululemon invested in a $12 million funding round for Epoch Biodesign, a startup using enzymes to recycle nylon 6,6 from end-of-life materials into virgin-quality nylon, supporting the company’s circularity goals for activewear.
This move aligns with prior partnerships like Samsara Eco and ZymoChem for sustainable nylon, as outlined in Lululemon’s Impact Report.
The investment coincides with a Texas Attorney General probe into potential PFAS “forever chemicals” in Lululemon products; the company states it phased out PFAS in 2023 and is cooperating. Athletech News
