Tencel, also known as Lyocell, is a fiber made from sustainably sourced wood pulp, often from eucalyptus or bamboo trees. The production process is eco-friendly, using a closed-loop system that recycles water and solvents. Recycled polyester is made from post-consumer plastic bottles or other plastic waste, diverting them from landfills and reducing the demand for new petroleum-based polyester production. Organic cotton is grown without the use of synthetic pesticides and fertilizers, making it more environmentally friendly compared to conventional cotton. Hemp is a versatile plant that requires minimal water and no pesticides to grow. Hemp fabrics are durable, breathable, and biodegradable. Econyl is a regenerated nylon yarn made from discarded fishing nets, industrial plastic waste, and post-consumer nylon products. It helps reduce the environmental impact of nylon production and waste. Mycelium leather, also known as mushroom leather, is a biodegradable and sustainable alternative to animal leather. It is made from the root structure of fungi and can be used for various fashion applications. The field of sustainable fabrics is constantly evolving, and there may be even newer materials and innovations tomorrow.
