Company mission
To use technology to solve environmental problems in the fashion/apparel & nature industry.
57% employee growth in 12 months
Our take
Sustainable fashion and innovative materials is a growing industry and Pangaia is bringing in a new stance by combining material science with fashion textiles. Pangaia is an early-stage sustainable start-up that develops bio-engineered materials.
Its products, from seaweed T-shirts to puffer coats filled with flowers have been a proven hit with Hollywood celebs. Pangaia hope to bring in revenue streams through DTC product sales, B2B textile sales, materials licensing and brand partnerships.
The company's recent launch of Pangaia Health, a new lifestyle branch, will offer plant-based food produced as a carbon neutral product. Through lateral moves like these, the company is well positioned to grow into a comprehensive and sustainable lifestyle brand.

Diversity, Equity & Inclusion at Pangaia
- Our DE&I efforts are led by a cross-department, independent body that brings training, awareness and support to the organisation. We meet monthly and will continue to do so for as long as it’s needed. In March our training focused on ‘Women in Science’, and ‘How to be a better Trans Ally’
- We also work with an external diversity and inclusion firm The Other Box on an anti-racism and ally-ship training course which the company experienced in 2020.
- Our Impact approach focuses on organizations and causes that care for the planet and its inhabitants. We know that true environmentalism is intersectional, and we are committed to leading by example to ensure that the narrative and perception of the industry we are a part of is truly representative of our Mother Earth
- We have also taken the Juneteenth Pledge, an initiative launched by Pharrell Williams, Kenya Barris and Global Citizens among others. We are joining the movement to make Juneteenth a recognized paid holiday for our team, as well as encouraging our employees to learn, reflect and work on continuous self-development and respect for all people and cultures
