Get ready to have your mind blown by a Japanese innovation that's about to revolutionize your wardrobe! Dive into the world of Brewed Protein, the futuristic fabric made by microbes, and guess what? It's infinitely recyclable. Imagine saying goodbye to the millions of tonnes of textile waste piling up every year. Intrigued? You should be!
Meet the mastermind behind this game-changer, a visionary company called Spiber from Tsuruoka, Japan. They've crafted a textile from micro-organisms feasting on plant sugars, and soon, even your discarded clothes might join the diet. It's not just sustainable; this fiber boasts cashmere-like luxury while being fully recyclable. Spiber's bringing the vision of a complete circular fashion economy to life, tackling the staggering 7 million tonnes of clothing waste in the EU alone.
But they aren't at it alone! Italian wool royalty, Zegna Baruffa Lane Borgosesia, is spinning magic by blending Brewed Protein with merino wool. Meanwhile, over at The Kering Group, home to Gucci, Bottega Veneta, and Saint Laurent, this innovative fabric is turning heads. They're testing its potential at the Material Innovation Lab in Milan, so keep your eyes peeled for what's next!
You won't believe who's joining the Brewed Protein bandwagon! Burberry's at it, Pangaia is in on the game, Woolrich and Ron Herman can't resist, and even The North Face and Goldwin want a piece of this eco-gold. Doublet and Yuima Nakazato are flaunting Brewed Protein threads worldwide.
This isn't just a trend; it's a movement supported by the BioCircular Materials Alliance. The future of clothing is regenerative, and it's coming fast. So buckle up and get ready for the clothing revolution!
