Tandem Repeat creates squid proteins using AI

Tandem Repeat, shaped in 2017, by members, Dr. Gozde Senel Ayaz, Dr. Benjamin Allen, and Dr. Melik Demirel are shaping current acts of the fabric industry by offering unparalleled technology, durability and sustainability. Squitex innovation is ready to change the design business with a feasible, non-polluting replacement for petroleum and animal-based fibers.

A Ocean Wise Study (2019) assessed that the normal family in the U.S. 2 and Canada discharges 533 million microfibers – or 135 grams – of microfibers to wastewater treatment facilities every year. This study also estimated that the U.S. and Canada together release over 878 tons of microfibers into the environment through treated wastewater.

The founders of Tandem Repeat turned to squid proteins and began developing them as an alternative to plastics that end up in our oceans. This amazing technology is a game changer in the textile world.

The company has also received a $150K prize from the microplastic challenge the previous year, which enabled them to further develop their product innovation.
