AMSilk’s protein-based products bridge the gap between performance and sustainability. They outperform existing, fossil-based products not only through their optimal relationship between performance and positive environmental impact, but also through the adaptability of multiple benefits to a broad range of meaningful applications.
AMSilk started producing Biosteel® Fiber in 2015: the very first performance fiber which defined a totally new category, combining revolutionary science with true environmental integrity. Today AMSilk offers unbelievably broad fiber performance characteristics from Biosteel to Ultrafine. Our fiber is converted into fabric using standard textile manufacturing equipment, turning man-made proteins into fibers for commercial textiles – footwear and garments, bags and wristbands, home textiles and even composites in automobiles. Our brand partners enable us to access a broad consumer base across diverse industries and applications.
The fully recyclable AMSilk Fiber is made using biotechnology and is petroleum free. This process works well under aerobic and marine conditions, leaving no micro plastic residue. Like natural silk, AMSilk Fiber is premium quality – it enhances skin comfort with bacteriostatic and hygienic properties, and is thinner and more delicate than the products of Mulberry Silk. The production of AMSilk Fiber is animal cruelty free and certified vegan.

Together with market leaders such as MERCEDES, OMEGA, and AIRBUS as well as many other leading brands in the luxury, footwear and mobility sectors, we collaborated to construct several prototypes shown in the public domain and the first ever commercial products. AMSilk Fiber is the very first smart-performance fiber with true environmental integrity to be presented to the market.
Society stands at a tipping point and we will all be impacted. There is a strong need for change and increasing demand for sustainable products that provide an optimal relationship between performance and positive environmental impact.
At AMSilk we develop biofabricated materials based on silk proteins that bridge the apparent gap between performance aspects and unrivalled ecological assessment. Our materials provide the same unique functional properties of the natural product they are based on and yet are vegan, completely biodegradable and solely produced with renewable resources.
With our innovative range of smart-performance materials for a variety of industrial applications we can help make the shift away from fossil based carbon and plastic pollution. Our innovative, nature-based protein materials offer a real solution to the huge challenge of microplastic pollution.
