SYRE

“Syre marks the start of the great textile shift. We envision a world where every textile fiber sees a new day. By implementing true textile-to-textile recycling at hyperscale, we want to drive the transition from a linear to a circular value chain by putting textile waste to use, over and over again,” says Dennis Nobelius, CEO of Syre.

Virgin polyester, made from crude oil in refineries, and bottle-to-fiber recycled polyester (rPET), are both linear meaning the majority of all end-of-life products currently end up in landfills or being incinerated. The textile industry is now at a tipping point as the European Union and other actors are introducing legislation that will regulate waste and accelerate demand for circular materials.

“Having been creating and scaling companies that enable the green transition for an entire industry, I am extremely excited to be part of founding Syre. As a plug and play solution into the existing textile value chain, Syre will be key in enabling delivery on ambitious sustainability targets for all polyester intense industries such as apparel, automotive, and home interior”.

Syre will provide textile-to-textile circular polyester (cPET), with quality on par with oil-based virgin polyester and with a superior sustainability performance, reducing CO2e emissions by up to 85%.

DENIM DEADSTOCK DEPOT AND ME

These last few months I have been completely immersed in the denim industry, denim treatment, indigo, not indigo, selvedge - not savage nor salvage, raw - Japanese, American, Pakistani, Italian..you name it. So much to love and learn and completely utterly totally obsess over. Denim like never before and like its always been there. From childhood dungarees to the 90s flared jeans to the skinny and the low rise or the high rise ...Its a close-knit selective tribe, and I am IN IT . To the 'BLUE INFINITY' and beyond!

BRITISH FASHION COUNCIL’S INSTITUTE OF POSITIVE FASHION

The BFC has a critical role in accelerating a transition to a circular fashion economy in the UK and advancing climate-related innovation. Acting as the main convenor across actors in the ecosystem, the BFC is already working closely with industry and government, and are in a unique position to bring together wider stakeholders who comprise this landscape in the UK and beyond. Circularity has a key role to play in addressing the challenges of climate change, resource depletion and the societal inequality. The BFC is actively integrating a social lens into the traditional circular economy discussion through key CFE Phase 2 Projects, starting with City-Level Circular Fashion Ecosystems. Applying the Doughnut Economics model7 at city level through the circular thinking approach of CFE framework enables the IPF to consider ecological ceilings and social foundations, through local action to influence global systems.

Mushroom®

Mushroom® Packaging isn’t manufactured, but grown, containing only two ingredients: hemp hurd and mycelium. Hemp hurd is a byproduct of the fiber hemp industry. This is upcycle it into food and structure for mycelium, which branches throughout and in between every crease and gap, binding it together into a solid composite material that is light, strong, fire, and water-resistant.

Re-Lastane

Elastane and polyester make clothes stretch, feel smooth against our skin, and has become the superstar of modern sportswear. Unfortunately, it’s not just durable at the gym. It’s resilient at the recycling plant as well. Re:lastane is changing the game. Re:lastane doesn’t just give us the possibility to recycle more of our clothes. Its process is water-free and effectively reduces the industry’s need to produce virgin elastane, which both emits carbon and has high toxicity.

Traceable, plant-based dyes

Stony Creek Colors partners with local farms to grow indigo as a regenerative rotational crop that improves profitability and ecosystem health for farmers. Our vertically integrated model then allows us to implement safe and transparent extraction processes at our US-based factories. Lastly we collaborate with values-driven textile mills and brands to reach industrial scale and bring naturally-dyed products to consumers globally.

The Oneness of life and its environment (and why it matters to the apparel industry)

依正不二］ ( eshō-funi): Also, non-duality of life and its environment. The principle that life and its environment, though two seemingly distinct phenomena, are essentially non-dual; they are two integral phases of a single reality. In the Japanese term eshō-funi, eshō is a compound of shōhō, meaning life or a living being, and ehō, its environment. Funi, meaning “not two,” indicates oneness or non-duality. It is short for nini-funi, which means “two (in phenomena) but not two (in essence).” Hō of shōhō and ehō means reward or effect. It indicates that “life” constitutes a subjective self that experiences the effects of its past actions, and “its environment” is an objective realm in which individuals’ karmic rewards find expression. Each living being has its own unique environment. The effects of karma appear in oneself and in one’s objective environment, because self and environment are two integral aspects of an individual.
