About Newlight Technologies
Newlight Technologies is a biotechnology company producing an advanced material derived from PHA, branded AirCarbon™. They utilise captured greenhouse gas emissions (Carbon and methane emissions) as feedstock into a proprietary fermentation process to produce PHB polymers branded AirCarbon™.
Why Fashion for Good is working with Newlight Technologies?
A significant portion of a material’s environmental footprint is determined by how its unprocessed inputs are cultivated, extracted and processed into yarns, making it a crucial area for innovation. By harnessing greenhouse gas emissions as a feedstock, Newlight Technologies are improving the environment, while also creating biopolymers for a range of alternative materials.
