Every material we wear impacts the earth’s resources in one way of another, including biodiversity, water, energy, waste, chemicals, social justice and animal welfare.
Inspiring day @thesustainableangle learning about materials that minimise the impact of their journey on the 7 environmental factors listed above.
Including leather alternatives from fish skin (by product of what we eat), to skin like translucent material from industrial waste, material from@mycelium mushroom, to cotton that is 100% water resistant and breaks down in earth if ever disposed.
Every material shown has considered the impact on its circular life, so heartening to see such wonderful developments, now we all need to start creating with, wearing and sharing stories of the materials journey,
