Case Study

FROM LAB TO LIFE

RDD is a textile innovation company based in Portugal, rethinking how materials are imagined, made, and valued by bringing together science, design, and technology. Our work transforms research into tangible solutions that support a more responsible textile industry while respecting the planet and the people behind every process.

REDEFINING THE FUTURE OF TEXTILES

PURPOSE
‍
We aim to reshape the way textiles are made and perceived by designing materials that unite innovation, performance, and sustainability in every thread. Our role is to demonstrate that responsibility and creativity can coexist and together drive meaningful change.
VISION
‍
We envision a future where the textile industry is regenerative and circular by design, with innovation that can be measured and materials that can be traced. In this future, sustainability is no longer an aspiration but an everyday standard.
MISSION

From our research lab and facilities in Portugal, we develop bio-based, regenerative, and recycled materials, along with pioneering dyeing technologies that reduce environmental impact without compromising performance or aesthetics. Every RDD development is built for the real world, with a focus on transparency, scalability, and long-term relevance.
VALUE

Everything at RDD begins with curiosity, which leads to collaboration and a strong sense of responsibility toward our partners, communities, and the planet. Guided by precision and creativity, we turn research into materials that are both technically sound and expressive. Because at RDD, innovation isn’t just what we do.
It’s the way we think, feel, and create.

TECHNOLOGIES AND
MATERIALS

At RDD Textiles, every fabric begins with research and a clear purpose: to explore better ways of making and designing textiles.
From regenerative fibers to biotechnology-driven dyeing, our developments bring together science, creativity, and precision to expand what’s possible in responsible material innovation.
NEXT GENERATION FIBERS

We work with regenerative, recycled, and bio-based fibers chosen for their technical performance, durability, and origin transparency. Each one represents a step toward rethinking how textiles are sourced and produced.
SMART PROCESSES

We invest in advanced technologies that enhance performance and reduce environmental impact — ensuring that every stage of fabric creation is responsible, precise, and beautifully executed. We focus on making innovation work harder, cleaner, and smarter, without ever compromising on quality or design intent.

TECHNICAL CONSULTANCY

At RDD, collaboration is where innovation takes shape.

We work side by side with our partners — from independent labels to global brands — to develop, test, and scale new materials and processes that meet real-world performance and sustainability goals.

Our consultancy combines scientific research, textile engineering, and product design to support every step of material creation: from fiber and yarn development to fabric structure design, color and dyeing optimization, finishing innovation, and performance validation.

Whether creating a proof of concept, developing a capsule collection, or refining an existing fabric for production, our multidisciplinary team ensures that every idea moves seamlessly from concept to commercialization.

At RDD, we don’t just support development — we co-create the future of textiles.
