EcoSimple

What EcoSimple does

EcoSimple is a privately held Brazilian manufacturer of sustainable textiles, founded in 2010 by Claudio Rocha and Marisa Ferragutt and headquartered in São Paulo, with an integrated production facility in Americana, São Paulo state, and showrooms in São Paulo and Belo Horizonte. The company self-describes as the largest sustainable textile industry in Brazil and operates two product segments — Moda (fashion) and Casa (home) — producing fabrics from recycled cotton, recycled PET bottles, organic cotton (including naturally colored Green Cotton from Paraíba), EcoJuta, EcoVero viscose, and EcoJeans (upcycled denim scraps), manufactured using Dobby and Jacquard weaving techniques. Each meter of fabric removes approximately 500g of textile waste and 8 PET bottles, and the Green Cotton line saves up to 87.5% of water versus conventional dyed cotton.

The business sells through a hybrid model: B2B wholesale to fashion brands, interior designers, decorators, architects, and retailers; D2C via showrooms, an e-commerce storefront (ecosimpleloja.com.br), and WhatsApp Business lines; and an authorized reseller network (revenda) covering all 27 Brazilian states. Pricing is quote-based rather than publicly listed. EcoSimple's portfolio includes eight named designer collaborations (Alinhavo, Humana, Tanger, Terra Adentro, Div&rsidade, Portofino, Prêt à Porter, Santorini) developed with Brazilian creatives such as Juliana Pippi, Luly Vianna, Paulo Azevedo, Karina Vargas, Renata Gaia, and Victor Leite. The company holds B Corp, PETA-Approved Vegan, Organic Product, and Sou de Algodão certifications, which function as procurement credentials for sustainability-conscious buyers. EcoSimple is founder-owned with no disclosed institutional funding, employs 33 people, and currently operates primarily within Brazil with limited documented international distribution.

Direct peers

• Cedro Têxtil: One of Brazil's largest textile manufacturers producing woven and knitted fabrics for apparel and home applications. Comparable to EcoSimple as a domestic Brazilian mill serving similar fashion and home furnishing customers at greater scale.
• Lenzing: Austrian specialty fiber manufacturer producing sustainable man-made cellulose fibers, including the EcoVero viscose brand that EcoSimple explicitly uses. Lenzing is the closest direct comparable in sustainable fiber/textile inputs serving fashion and home customers with similar environmental credentials.
• Unifi (Repreve): US-based fiber manufacturer specializing in recycled and synthetic yarns, including the Repreve brand made from recycled PET bottles. Directly comparable to EcoSimple's rPET-to-fabric technology and its focus on transforming plastic waste into textile inputs.
• Santaconstancia: Major Brazilian textile manufacturer producing fabrics for fashion and home markets. Directly comparable to EcoSimple as a domestic competitor in the Brazilian broadwoven fabric market with overlapping customer segments (fashion brands, home décor, retailers).
• Renewcell: Sweden-based company producing Circulose recycled dissolving pulp from old cotton textiles for use in viscose and other man-made cellulosic fibers. Directly comparable to EcoSimple's recycled-cotton feedstock preparation and circular textile materials business.
• Recover Brands (Recover Textile Systems): Spain-based global leader in recycled cotton fiber production from post-industrial and post-consumer textile waste. Directly comparable to EcoSimple's recycled cotton and textile-waste-to-fabric value proposition, serving apparel and home textile brands with certified sustainable inputs.

Emerging players

• Texaid: Swiss-based textile recycling and sorting operator processing used clothing and textile waste into reusable feedstock streams. Comparable to EcoSimple on the textile-recycling side of the value chain (textile-to-textile feedstock preparation) though operating earlier in the supply chain.
• Bureo: Chile/US-based company producing recycled materials from fishing nets and other ocean plastics for use in textiles, surfboards, and consumer products. Comparable to EcoSimple's upcycling narrative (similar to EcoJeans), though focused on a different waste stream.

Broad incumbents

• Birla Cellulose (Aditya Birla Group): Indian global leader in man-made cellulosic fiber production (viscose, modal, lyocell) with sustainability programs serving apparel and home textile markets. Comparable to EcoSimple's EcoVero viscose offering as a large-scale upstream sustainable fiber supplier.
• Teijin: Japanese diversified materials and textile conglomerate with significant sustainable fiber operations, including recycled polyester and aramid fibers. Overlaps with EcoSimple in sustainable fiber/textile production but at much greater scale and as part of a broader industrial portfolio.
