Where Better Materials Build a Better Future
The Renegade Way
Our mission is simple yet demanding: Build a better future by putting people and sustainability first. Our vision? Redefine plastics by proving that a sustainable and profitable circular economy isn’t just possible, it works in the real world, at scale.
We grow together, lead with a passion to do the right thing, challenge the status quo, and stay anchored in reality, even when the work is hard.
Day to day, that looks like open ears, honest communication, assuming positive intent, and protecting time for life outside of work; because lasting change starts with how we treat each other.

Built with Early Adopters
and Everyday Problem-Solvers
We don’t build solutions in a vacuum; we co-create them with partners leading in circularity. In our Colorado innovation lab, we experiment to tweak formulations and unlock applications that replace PVC, PFAS-coated textiles, and other legacy materials. Early adopters are proving that lighter, mono-material fabrics cut waste, improve worker safety, open new markets, and - with new recovery pathways and recycling partnerships - make circular textiles possible.
Rethinking “The Way It’s Always Been Done”
Tony came into this work after years of making tents from PVC fabrics and watching offcuts head straight to the landfill. As a longtime manufacturer and entrepreneur, he knew the industry answer, “That’s how we’ve always done it!”, was no longer good enough. Today, as CEO + Co-Founder, Tony draws on experience growing American Tent and serving on the Advanced Textiles Association board of directors to help partners transition away from toxic, unsustainable materials without sacrificing performance or profitability. Tony and Curran balance each other; different strengths, shared values, and a common commitment to doing right by customers, employees, and the communities where our materials are made and used.
From Farm Fields to Circular Fabrics
Curran saw the problem up close: Acre-wide piles of discarded irrigation plastics and farm inputs that were saving water but creating mountains of waste. That experience pushed him to ask bigger questions about how products are designed, used, and recovered, and to look for a way to build a truly circular system. Today, as President + Co-Founder, he brings together his background in agriculture, international development, and corporate strategy to help customers adopt new materials that actually work in their operations. Curran is the one who loves getting into the field, on the factory floor, or on stage, translating complex sustainability goals into practical solutions we can build together.
