A 2012 KEDGE graduate, Pierre-Olivier Adam is the co-founder of Pulpe. The start-up is currently incubated at KEDGE's Business Nursery, where it benefits from personalized support.

Pulpe is a start-up incubated at the Business Nursery on KEDGE's Bordeaux campus, whose ambition is to revolutionize the textile industry! It's a bold project, but one that's crucial to reducing our impact on the environment, as the textile industry is the second most polluting industry in the world.

To achieve this, the start-up doesn't use cotton, the cultivation of which is extremely polluting, but uses alternative solutions that are much more ecological. Pulpe pillowcases and bed linen are made from eucalyptus, a sustainable, biodegradable material 100% processed in Europe!

Growing eucalyptus has less impact on the planet:

• The plant grows without pesticides, insecticides or fertilizers;
• The wood chosen by Pulpe comes from certified, sustainably managed forests;
• The fabric biodegrades completely at the end of its life.

• Dual curriculum: Master PGE Kedge and Law
