Recycled and Upcycled Polymers With Purpose

Discarded fishing nets and nylon waste can be depolymerized, purified, and reborn as new yarns. A surfer-turned-designer stitched swimwear that sparked beach cleanups. If your city hosted a cleanup, would you join? Tell us and we’ll help coordinate meetups.

Recycled and Upcycled Polymers With Purpose

Blended fabrics have long been a recycling headache. New processes separate cotton from polyester, turning yesterday’s tees into tomorrow’s threads. We tested a sample scarf that felt familiar yet new. Want our lab notes and photos? Subscribe for the full breakdown.

Smart, Adaptive, and Self-Healing Fabrics

Thermoregulation With Phase-Change Materials

Microcapsules embedded in fibers absorb and release heat, smoothing temperature swings during commutes and workouts. One marathon tester said the shirt felt calm in sun and shade alike. Have a climate challenge to solve? Share it, and we’ll feature user stories.

Self-Healing Polymers for Everyday Wear

Certain polymers can re-bond when gently heated or pressed, mending scuffs and micro-tears. A commuter backpack survived a subway scrape with barely a trace afterward. Curious about durability tests? Subscribe for quarterly reports with real-world trials.

Shape-Memory Knits That Move With You

Shape-memory yarns relax during movement and recover structure at rest, keeping silhouettes crisp. A blazer prototype held its sharp lines after a long flight. Tell us where you’d take it first—boardroom, gallery opening, or weekend brunch?

Nature-Derived Dyes and Cleaner Finishes

Algae-based and microbial dyes produce vivid hues while minimizing traditional dyehouse burdens. A capsule collection tinted with spirulina greens sold out in days. Would you try pigment-grown tees? Drop your favorite shade and we’ll share palette guides.

Nature-Derived Dyes and Cleaner Finishes

Supercritical CO₂ dyeing carries color deep into fibers and recycles nearly all the CO₂ in a closed loop. A factory trial cut rinsing steps dramatically. Want to visit a facility virtually? Subscribe for our upcoming behind-the-scenes tour.

Nature-Derived Dyes and Cleaner Finishes

Enzymatic treatments can soften, stonewash, or de-fuzz fabrics with precision and fewer harsh inputs. A denim run achieved that vintage hand without pumice mess. How do you feel about bio-powered jeans? Share your take for a chance to be featured.

Zero-Waste 3D Knitted Garments

Whole-garment knitting forms pieces in one pass, eliminating many cut scraps. A studio produced a sweater series tailored to body scans, delivered in days. Would you scan at home for a perfect fit? Tell us and we’ll share a setup guide.

Printed Uppers, Performance, and Repair

Printed lattice uppers balance support and airflow while simplifying component counts. A runner replaced a worn lattice segment instead of buying new shoes. Interested in modular maintenance? Subscribe to our repair playbook launching next month.

Microfactories for Local Production

Compact lines pair knitting, printing, and finishing to make small batches close to customers. A neighborhood pop-up produced custom beanies on demand. Should we host a pop-up in your city? Comment with your location and tag a friend.

Digital Product Passports and Fiber IDs

Scannable tags can reveal origin stories, care tips, and end-of-life options for each material. A jacket’s passport guided its owner to a verified take-back bin. Would a passport influence your purchase? Share your decision-making checklist.
