De-Risk and Accelerate the Next Generation of Sustainable Materials
While we help you discover and validate materials, YoutanGen is not a marketplace. We are an AI-driven predictive intelligence platform. Our purpose is to help you simulate cost, performance, and environmental impact before you source. We de-risk your decisions so that when you do procure materials, you do so with full confidence in their commercial, technical, and sustainable viability.
Carbon accounting tools are reactive; they measure the impact of decisions you've already made. YoutanGen is proactive and predictive. Our platform allows you to forecast and compare different material scenarios before you commit, enabling you to design for lower emissions and costs from the very beginning, not just measure them at the end.
Our platform is built to support a wide range of next-generation and circular materials. We are initially focused on high-impact textiles like recycled cotton and polyester, as well as innovative bio-based alternatives such as alginate, Hypholite, and mycelium. Our database continuously expands, with standardised metrics for attributes like tensile strength, biodegradability, and hand feel.
Our Predictive Engine is built on a "flywheel" model. It starts with trusted public datasets (e.g., EcoInvent, Textile Exchange) and proprietary mechanistic models. With every pilot run by brands and manufacturers on our platform, the engine is enriched with validated, real-world data. This creates a self-improving loop, making our forecasts on cost, yield, and performance more accurate for the entire ecosystem over time.
The Scale Hub is designed to eliminate costly trial-and-error. It allows you to use a "Process Twin Lite" to simulate how a new sustainable material will perform with your specific equipment. You can model process feasibility, predict yields, and forecast energy consumption. This empowers you to de-risk pilot runs and provide "quote-with-confidence" reports to brand partners, positioning you as a preferred supplier for innovation.
We bridge the critical gap between lab-scale innovation and commercial adoption. The Innovator Studio allows material scientists to benchmark their products and receive an automated "Readiness Score." Our platform then provides the tools—like forward cost curves and performance simulations—that demonstrate commercial viability to secure brand partnerships and funding, accelerating the path to market.
Absolutely. While our initial focus is on apparel to tackle its 10% share of global emissions, our AI framework is designed for expansion. The core challenges of material validation, cost forecasting, and supply chain collaboration are universal. We are actively planning expansion modules for the automotive, packaging, and composites industries.
Compliance is built into our platform. The YoutanGen Decision Hub can auto-generate reports aligned with regulations like the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and the upcoming Digital Product Passport (DPP). By using our platform, you create a verifiable, data-backed record of your material choices and their impact, ensuring you're ready for future compliance demands.
We combine robust data sourcing with blockchain-verified traceability. Our platform serves as a single source of truth, creating a transparent chain of custody from raw material to finished product. This verified data combats greenwashing and builds trust between brands, manufacturers, and consumers.
Getting started is simple. YoutanGen is a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platform with subscription plans tailored for brands, manufacturers, and innovators. The first step is to schedule a demo with our team. We'll walk you through the module most relevant to you and show you how you can start making smarter, data-driven sustainability decisions today.
