Why Fashion for Good is working with Spintex?
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. By creating an alternative to conventional natural or synthetic silk Spintex is creating a less negatively impactful solution.
