Modaes reports that Royal Group of Abu Dhabi took a majority stake in January 2025. Its accounts for 2024 show net revenue of $17.5M, down 17%, and an average of 78 staff, and they rely on the parent's financial support.

PANGAIA reports 1,460 tCO2e for 2025: Scope 1 of 0.0 t, market-based Scope 2 of 3.8 t and Scope 3 of 1,456.2 t, with no external assurance in the pages read. The total fell from 3,706 t in 2024. Its 2025 report ties that to a streamlined collection and using existing material reserves, and its accounts tie the earlier fall to stored stock and a narrower range. That is a smaller business, not shown to be cleaner materials. It says 96% of its 2024 collection used organic, recycled, regenerative or bio-based materials, yet rates 0.74% of 2025 materials as 'Champion'. Its SBTi route has no quantified near-term Scope 3 target. Raw fibre origin is unmapped, and no water volumes are published.
