Fashion for Good’s Newest Project with BESTSELLER, Inditex, and Reformation Prototypes Kintra Fibers’ Biobased Polyester
Orchestrated by Fashion for Good, the project allows brands to prototype Kintra Fibers’ materials in a year-long collaborative engagement.
Why Fashion for Good is working with Kintra?
Polyester (PET) is the most used material in the global textile fibre market with projected growth in the future. The environmental impacts associated with petroleum based materials like PET call for a clear need of alternatives that reduce industry’s reliance on conventional based materials. Kintra provides a biobased alternative to virgin polyester yarns and fabrics, with the additional promise of biodegradability.
