Our History
Rubisco’s history is grounded in natural fibres and generations of practical knowledge in wool, land management, and material refinement. These foundations shaped a clear understanding of how biology and design can intersect to form stronger, more dependable material systems.
As industries began searching for alternatives to synthetic inputs, Rubisco broadened its focus from wool into plant-based fibres, including hemp and emerging bio-based materials. This transition brought together agricultural insight and technical development, allowing fibres to be prepared and stabilised with greater precision.
Today, Rubisco advances natural materials for textiles, composites, and built-environment applications, designing fibres that perform reliably while supporting lower-carbon production pathways.
Philosophy
Guided by the logic of natural materials, we work with partners who share a commitment to better methods of making. Our focus is on building systems that strengthen material integrity, support long-term value creation, and improve how future generations live and build.
Vision
We aim to build scalable fibre systems that replace synthetic inputs with solutions shaped by biological intelligence and engineered for long-term performance. By enabling like-minded partners to adopt these materials at scale, we help shape a more conscious way of living for future generations.
