PhycoLabs harnesses the potential of seaweed in textile production
In the eco-conscious innovation category, seaweed has been an exceptionally popular material to work with and the seaweed fabric developed by PhycoLabs is a great example of how “technology, innovation, and respect for the environment” can be harnessed to change manufacturing practices.
PhycoLabs is working within the regenerative fashion sphere to harness nature in curbing waste and pollution. The impressive thing about seaweed is that the plant species needs only sunlight and CO2 to grow, meaning ” it can avoid the environmental footprint of growing crops like cotton on land, which require pesticides and large amounts of fresh water.”
PhycoLabs has developed the PhycoFiber as a natural textile solution for more sustainable fashion manufacturing practices.
