Designerrsquos choice Bio-based textileinnovation
Due to growing need to reduce the textile industryrsquos environmental impact and its dependence on petroleum-based bres and fabrics designers are increasingly searching for textiles made from renewable raw materials Ofparticular interest is the eld of bio-based textiles which can include natural materials such as cotton wool andsilk as well as the growing sector of biosynthetic bres and fabrics The advantage of biosynthetic textiles overmore traditional bio-based materials is that they can be engineered to provide performance features as well asenvironmental advantages such as recyclability or biodegradability
Although many of these new textile innovations are still at development level the sportswear and fashion industryis embracing the use of bio-based textiles and designers are beginning to challenge themselves to create wholly bio-based products One recent example is Swedish outdoor clothing brand Tierrarsquos Deterra Jacket which waslaunched in 2017 as the rst 100 bio-based technical outdoor jacket The jacket is made from outer fabric wovenfrom EVO by Fulgar yarn which consists of polyamide made from castor bean oil and also utilises Lavalan woolpadding corozo nut buttons and Tencel thread
Engineered from bio-waste materials
Looking at new bio-based textile developments in the sportswear and fashion sector there is a compelling trend forconverting waste and by-products from the food industry into desirable fabrics as this approach eliminates theneed to cultivate crops for raw materials while dealing with the burden of existing bio-waste

One of the rst commercially available textiles was Singtexrsquos S-Cafe which contains 25 of coffee oil extractedfrom used coffee grounds The company offers a range of S-Cafe based products including the AIRMEMmembranewhich provides better odour control than conventional membranes as well as being wind-proof water-resistantand breathable This membrane is certi ed as 26 bio-based by the US Department of Agriculture (USDA)
Another example is German outdoor brand VAUDErsquos use of QMILK felt which is made of 20 cows milk and 80wool This material is currently used in the straps and back and hip belt padding of their backpacks as well as theirGreen Shape Core Collection footwear QMILK bre consists of a polymer derived from the milk protein caseinwhich is produced from raw milk that cannot be marketed or used for food and would otherwise be discarded
Fruit waste is another suitable raw material and the recent Future Fabric Expo in London featured fashion textilesderived from orange apple and grape skins as well as pineapple leaves Orange Fiber which is made from by-products from the citrus juice industry was selected as one of the winners of the 2016 HampM Global Change Awardand has recently enjoyed commercial success by collaborating with fashion house Salvatore Ferragamo OrangeFiber fabrics are manufactured from silk-like cellulose and are blended with silk cotton and elastane to providetwill poplin and jersey qualities
Vegea biomaterial another HampM Global Change Award winner in 2017 was conceived as an alternative to animaland synthetic leather and is made in Italy from grape skins stalks and seeds which are by-products from wineproduction The Milan based company are also currently developing a yarn in order to provide more opportunitiesto use up the vast amounts of grape skins and seeds as well as vineyard pruning waste Another vegan leatheralternative is Frumatrsquos Pellemela which is derived from bres cellulose and sugars found in apple peel waste fromthe fruit juice and compote industry
Pinatex is produced from pineapple leaves sourced from farming cooperatives in the Philippines and the biomassleft over after the bre has been extracted is used as a natural fertiliser or further processed to produce biogasThis leather-like material has been used commercially in the fashion furnishing and automotive industries and wasPETA certi ed in 2015
A more unusual waste stream is cow manure as explored by Dutch designer and entrepreneur Jalila Essaiumldithrough her start-up Mestic Essaiumldi also an HampM Global Change Award winner in 2017 developed a technology todeconstruct manure and convert the cellulose into biomaterials including bioplastic biopaper and biotextiles Inaddition to creating a fully biodegradable textile this process helps to reduce the production of harmful methanegas and can prevent the contamination of soil and water caused by intensive farming Another similar innovation isthe production of biopolymer from waste biogas by US based start-up Mango Materials The team is currently busytesting their product with apparel and textile companies in order to provide clothing that reduces ocean plasticpollution as this biological version of polyester could be broken down naturally as well as being biodegradable atend-of-life
Lab-grown textiles
Another trend is the development of lab-grown textiles based on bacteria mycelium and proteins Australianbiotech company Nanollose manufactures their Plant-Freecellulose by utilising non-hazardous and non-infectiousbacteria found in organic and agricultural waste products This process has a quick 18-22 day grow cycle andinitially produced a nonwoven material but the company are also pursuing the development of bre spinning andfabric manufacturing in order to open up design opportunities across sectors including sportswear casual anddesigner fashion and medical products According to the company commercial products are expected to beavailable within the next six to eight months
US based biotech company Modern Meadow has recently launched its bioleather materials brand Zoa Thesebioleathers are derived from lab-grown collagen a protein normally found in animal skin and can be engineered toprovide unique structures characteristics and aesthetic and performance properties As demonstrated with theirZoaprototype presented at the Museum of Modern Art Zoacan be combined with any other natural or man-madematerial as it can be produced in liquid form and conform to any shape
Textile innovation around mycelium the vegetative part of fungi which consists of a mass of branched laments isalso enjoying much attention and we can already see interesting new leather alternatives coming through in thefashion sector MycoWorks is a team of creative engineers designers and scientists who draw inspiration from over20 years of research into designing and engineering mycelium materials Their leather is produced in a carbon-negative and closed-loop process with the ability to grow textures and other features directly into the material
Another growing area for textile innovation is around biosynthetic silk and US based biotech company BoltThreads have been studying silk proteins found in nature to inspire the development of lab-engineered syntheticspider silk A silk protein substance is produced by fermenting yeast sugar and water and is spun into protein-based yarn that can be knitted or woven into textiles and garments The ability to engineer the material to providestretch strength softness comfort and water-resistance has made it an obvious choice for luxury fashion labelStella McCartney who is closely collaborating with Bolt Threads to push the boundaries in innovation for cutting-edge sustainable and cruelty-free fashion textiles
