Why Fashion for Good is working with Materra?
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. Conventional cotton production has a significantly negative impact on the environment and Materra’s innovations considerably reduce the resources needed to create cotton and the environmental strain caused by production.
