Fashion for Good’s Post

From sourcing to production, the textile value chain is entering a new era of transformation — one grounded in collaborations and a shared vision.   A pioneer in regenerated fibers*, TENCEL™ is committed to developing novel technologies to expand lower impact production methods. One such example is ECOHUES™, an innovative waterless dyeing method that reduces resource usage. It was developed in collaboration with Exponent Envirotech and brought to life in a knitwear collection by Cobalt Fashion. As we continue to advance fiber technologies, stretch fabrics made of TENCEL™ fibers are further bridging the gap between performance and sustainability.    In this ever-evolving textile landscape, the key is to adapt and innovate. Swipe to learn more about some emerging trends!   *Behind our story: https://lnkd.in/gMPTi9xN #TENCEL

Slowly but surely, big names start to make moves towards greener industry practices, introducing not only innovations to help tackle manufacturing issues, such as waste and landfill pollutants but also by developing alternative materials to reduce the impact of what’s still to be produced! In the last months of 2023, Ganni A/S partnered with the London-based biotech company Modern Synthesis to develop a one-off edition of its iconic Bou Bag made from bacterial nanocellulose, a textile that, according to them, drapes much like cowhide a significant reduction in greenhouse gas emissions than real leather. 😳 Jen Keane, co-founder and CEO of Modern Synthesis said: "Brand-innovator partnerships are a critical step towards integrating novel technologies in the fashion supply chain." "Showpieces like the Ganni A/S Bou Bag made with our biotextile are pivotal in evaluating the workability of new materials, paving the way for their eventual integration into everyday fashion. This, in turn, attracts crucial investment in biomaterials, accelerating the transition from one-off showpieces to commercial collections."
