Mango Materials

Mango Materials uses waste methane to produce PHA pellets which can be then either melt spun or injection moulded to make fibres or packaging respectively. PHA can be used as a replacement for conventional polyester, thus is a replacement for synthetic fibres and packaging which is compostable. 

Why Fashion for Good is working with Mango Materials?

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. Mango Material’s innovation both utilises waste and creates a less negatively impactful alternative to virgin polyester.
