GALY
GALY engineers cotton in labs, rather than farming, through multiplication of cells directly into the cotton fibre (removing steps of traditional cotton plantation). As a result they can grow cotton without the use of pesticides or fertilisers, using considerably less water.

Why Fashion for Good is working with Galy?
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. Galy offers an innovative approach to conventional cotton production through the multiplication of cells directly into the cotton fibre, removing steps of traditional cotton farming and reducing the environmental impact of production.
