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.
