Promoting Textile
Next Generation Materials
Material Scouts is an open source database for textile raw materials that are grown and harvested under regenerative agriculture practices, sequestering carbon and protecting ecosystems.
Material Scouts works towards transforming the textile business
to become a regenerative industry that benefits people and planet.
There is a need for distributing innovative resource generation activities that not only include
but reward commitment to responsible business conduct and delivery on the SDGs.
To be in line with the Paris Agreement, the textile industry must transform and generate regenerative business that profits people and the planet likewise. Material Scouts invests in Next Generation Materials to effectively facilitate fashion brands' decision for more sustainable alternatives which are supported through the promotion of end-users who want brands to shift to Next Gen Materials and phase out unsustainable textile fibers.
The Pollinator Principle
Founding ecosystems to disseminate
net zero and nature positive materials
The Pollinator Principle is a financial tool that shifts money to farms to implement biodiversity measures to grow and develop nature positive materials. It cuts out elongated supply chain activities and balances demand with better forecasting data to ease the material supply.

Transforming demand and supply democratically into markets for Next Generation Materials:
We unite the needs of Growers and Innovators of Next Gen Materials, Fashion Brands and Consumers

Manage a fully digital and transparent material supply chain that connects you to your partners and jump on the drivers seat for the transformation of your company.
As a Grower
As a grower of a textile fiber, your regenerative agriculture practice is at the core of our impact engagement. Committing to a practice accredited by IFOAM qualifies you to receive money from us to pre-finance your biodiversity measures. The pre-demand generated through the buy-in.group will guarantee that you trade your regenerative material successfully with a brand.
As a Consumer
