Pupae Studio builds the infrastructure that helps apparel brands transform — from guessing at a garment's footprint to knowing it, in seconds. ThreadPrint is our first product.
Fashion is under more pressure to change than at any point in its history — regulatory, financial, and cultural, all at once. Pupae Studio exists to build the tools that make that change possible, not just demanded.
We build products the way a pupa builds a butterfly: quietly, structurally, from the inside — real engineering underneath, not a sustainability claim bolted on top. ThreadPrint is the first product to emerge from the studio. It won't be the last.
Farm-to-cradle carbon and cost modeling for every garment, with a genuine linear-programming optimizer underneath — not a scorecard, not a rule of thumb.
Six lifecycle stages — farm, mill, cut & sew, distribution, use, end of life — scored in seconds, TRACI 2.1 and ISO 14040/14044/14067 aligned.
A real linear program solves the fiber blend under your constraints, plus exact search across every other stage — for lowest carbon, or lowest cost.
Portfolio dashboards and an audit-ready trail, structured for CSRD and the EU Digital Product Passport.
fibers in the factor library, each tagged by data-quality tier
grid regions, freight modes, and 4 end-of-life routes modeled
ISO standards the methodology is built to align with
60/40 cotton-poly tee · heavy wet-processing in India · air freight · hot wash & tumble dry · landfill.
Solved for cost instead: net −$0.03 landed cost with jute + Bangladesh production. Carbon-optimal and cost-optimal recipes don't always agree — which is exactly why brands need to see both. Try it yourself →
The EU's Digital Product Passport is expected to require SKU-level environmental data for textiles by 2028–2029, and CSRD reporting is already phasing in. ThreadPrint's output is structured for that from day one — not retrofitted later.
ThreadPrint's calculation structure follows these ISO standards' principles — the four-phase LCA framework, product carbon footprint quantification, and the data discipline behind formal environmental declarations and substantiated claims.
It's not a claim of formal ISO certification, which applies to audited organizations, not software — and we say that plainly, in the product itself, not just here.
ThreadPrint's engine, optimizer, and cost model are built and running end to end — not a prototype, not a deck. What's ahead is converting pipeline into paying pilots, not building the core technology.
A 90-day pilot, not a year-long rollout.
Whether you're evaluating ThreadPrint for your brand, or Pupae Studio for your fund — we'd like to hear from you.
