IT SUMS UP

At SUMS our mission is to unlock adoption of sustainable materials at scale. We're starting with the fashion industry because we know materials often account for 60-70% of a product footprint, and we believe you shouldn't have to sacrifice self expression for the sake of the planet when it's possible to have both.
