Mixed results from the Renewable Carbon Textile Project
Fashion for Good has published the key findings from its Renewable Carbon Textile Project, which it set up to test the technical feasibility of PHA polymer and composite resins to make mono and multifilament fibres.
With funding from Laudes Foundation and backing from brands Bestseller, Norrona, PVH and the fabrics division of WL Gore & Associates, it wanted to see whether renewable carbon sources (such as biomass and CCU-based polymers) could serve as an alternative to polyester.
