Chalupas Group

We're fostering a world where waste is never wasted

At the heart of our team is a small, passionate, and dynamic team driven by a shared vision: to turn the untapped potential of agricultural waste into sustainable fiber solutions that can transform the textile industry.

Where people see waste, we see a unique opportunity to rethink how materials are made and used. With expertise spanning across materials science, chemical engineering, business strategy and sustainability, we are reshaping the future of fashion together – one fiber at a time.
