This is OceanSafe
OceanSafe AG is a Swiss polymer science company dedicated to turning the principles of the circular economy into reality.
We develop next-gen textile materials designed to replace conventional options. Our proprietary polymers are engineered for complete biodegradability and recyclability, never contain toxic substances or heavy metals. With this, our technology directly addresses some of the textile industry’s most pressing environmental challenges.
History
OceanSafe was founded in 2019 by Manuel Schweizer, now the company’s CEO.
With over a decade of R&D on circular interior textiles and more than 30 years of experience in the textile industry, Manuel transformed his inventions and expertise into a market-ready solution. The parent company was established in Bern, Switzerland, followed shortly by a subsidiary in Krefeld, Germany.
From the very beginning, the mission has been clear: to make sustainable, circular textile products a reality across industries.
Implementing Circularity in the Textile Industry
At OceanSafe, we partner with global brands and retailers to design and deliver truly circular textile solutions. Guided by the Cradle to Cradle® design philosophy, we strive to embed circular thinking throughout the textile industry.
Our licensing model enables brands, manufacturers, and value-chain partners to access OceanSafe’s proprietary technology and materials. With the potential to replace mainstream materials such as polyester, our next-gen polymes are true game-changers.
To accelerate impact, we developed the OceanSafe Certified concept – a holistic product development framework that empowers designers and product developers to launch market-ready, certified circular products in record time.
