US-based biological recycling company Protein Evolution, Inc.<\/a> (PEI) is teaming up with British fashion label Stella McCartney<\/a><\/span> for a research and development project. <\/strong><\/p>\n

The collaboration hopes to find\u00a0ways to turn unused polyester and nylon into \u2018good-as-new\u2019 products. It also aims to showcase the potential of PEI's enzyme-based technology to recycle synthetic fabrics and plastic trash in a low-emission, environmentally friendly method. The recycled fabric will be used to generate plastic bottles, textiles, and other renewable plastic items.<\/p>\n

In 2023, Protein Evolution will recycle leftover synthetic fabric from Stella McCartney's designs to create fibres. The brand's suppliers will then investigate ways to repurpose these fresh fibres into new clothing and accessories.<\/p>\n

Scott Stankey, Co-Founder and Chief Technology Officer at PEI, commented: \u201cOur proprietary biological recycling process has the power to enable circularity efforts across the textile industry. By partnering with Stella McCartney, we are able to test our platform in a real-world setting and collectively learn how to seamlessly integrate PEI\u2019s technology into existing manufacturing processes.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis collaboration will ultimately demonstrate for the first time how complex fabric types, such as nylon and polyester blends, can be fully re-used to make new plastic material in a low-energy, cost-effective way.\u201d<\/p>\n

Stella McCartney<\/a> has championed sustainable materials since her brand's conception and was an early investor in Protein Evolution and its technology. This year, she debuted the world's first luxury bag made from mycelium, the root-like structure of mushrooms.<\/p>\n

McCartney added: \u201cThe dreadful amount of fast fashion manufactured that ends up in landfills is absolutely astonishing, both in terms of the natural resources consumed and the sheer amount squandered. Circular and regenerative solutions provide an upbeat view of the future of fashion, and we must take action now to safeguard our world for future generations.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
