Why Fashion for Good is working with Biophilica?
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. Biobased leather alternatives provide a promising solution for the fashion industry, addressing the environmental concerns of conventional leather tanning, which often involves harmful chemicals, and the reliance on fossil fuels for synthetic leathers. By focusing on utilising green waste, Biophilica aims to create a truly circular, biobased leather alternative
