Walmart recently announced it had partnered with Rubi Laboratories to create a pilot project that captures carbon emissions from Walmart facilities and converts them into fabrics that can be used to make clothing.

Rubi’s process will capture and convert emissions into cellulose (an insoluble substance that is a constituent of vegetable fibers), creating a carbon-negative product that can be used to make clothing and other items, according to The Joplin Globe. Rubi Laboratories said that rayon is a common type of material derived from cellulose.

The pilot project will analyze how Rubi’s technology can be integrated into Walmart’s supply chain, test Walmart’s current carbon capture processes and examine the performance of Rubi’s fibers on a prototype item that will be used to create garment samples.

“At Walmart, we’re helping make the sustainable choice the affordable choice as we continue our journey to becoming a regenerative company. And that means tackling complex problems and finding innovative solutions across our supply chain,” said Andrea Albright, EVP of Sourcing at Walmart, in a statement. “We see great potential beyond apparel as these pilots could have implications across so many products and industries: packaging, building materials, food and even the creation of new raw material. The possibilities are staggering, and we’re excited to see where this journey takes us as we work toward a more sustainable and equitable future.”
