✨✨ An all female panel talking about investment and materials development - sign me up! Last month, Forager - Ecovative’s fashion division - joined other leaders in the next gen fashion materials community at the annual London event for The Sustainable Angle #FutureFabricsExpo. I had the pleasure of taking the stage and sharing Ecovative - the mycelium technology company’s investment story and how joint partnerships from fashion and footwear brand brands, VC’s and organizations like The Sustainable Angle, The Mills Fabrica, Fashion for Good contribute to the accelerated development and market adoption of better for the planet fashion materials. Thank you to Amy Tsang, Roni GamZon, Amanda Parkes and Kinara Shah for the great conversation.

🌟 Reflecting on Future Fabrics Expo 2024! 🌟 It’s been just over a month since we gathered in London for #FutureFabricsExpo 2024, and we're still feeling energised - and grateful to all the many exhibitors, speakers, partners and visitors! 🌍✨ With over 10,000 sustainably produced materials showcased, we witnessed our sourcing platform in action - abuzz with energy: collaborations in the making, exchanges of ideas and innovations driving the #MaterialsRevolution. The Seminar Series provided deep insights from global thought leaders, inspiring us all to push the boundaries of what textiles and materials that advance sustainability can be. A sincere thank you again to our exhibitors, visitors, speakers, and partners for making the expo such a success. 🙏💚 Stay tuned for the release of our seminar series coming up soon on YouTube, and mark your calendars for our New York City edition on 19-20 November! 📅🗽

Thank you Cyrill Gutsch and everyone campaigning to #freepaulwatson. We The Sustainable Angle fully support Paul Watson, anti-whaling activist and hero for the oceans. He should be celebrated for protecting the oceans not hand cuffed! It is senseless what the Danish government did this week, especially when we know that #whales - which Paul has campaigned to protect for decades - help capture carbon through their fertilization of phytoplankton: a single whale can sequester over 33 tons of CO2 in carbon in their body (Ralph Chami who co-authored a paper on #naturebasedsolutions and economy while working for 22 years at IMF) and stores it when the body sinks to the seabed!
#FreePaulWatson 🌊✨🌊 Captain Paul Watson has been arrested by danish authorities for protecting whales, sharks, oceans. Paul is a dear friend and endless inspiration. Paul’s courage to stand up for life in the ocean, to stand up for the protection of our future, of all our future —- is nothing else than an act of courage and compassion — an act of love for the wild. At Parley for the Oceans we believe in collaboration, creativity and eco innovation. There is a way out of this mess. A beautiful and successful one. Please direct message me if you want to help! For the Oceans

A few weeks ago, I had the opportunity to attend the Future Fabrics Expo, an incredible event where I learned from and connected with leading experts in the sustainable fashion industry. Since 2014, over $3 billion has been invested in next-gen material companies, with 53% being plant-based. To scale these new fibres and fabrics, collaborative work and standardisation are essential. Sustainabelle Advisory Services has identified three key priorities for achieving this goal: ✅ Information creation: Focuses on alignment and standardisation through open-source resources and the formation of industry associations. ✅ R&D: Aims to leverage supplier knowledge and improve technological processes, thereby accelerating development timelines and achieving better results. ✅ Funding: It is centred on catalytic opportunities, including lobbying for government funding and collaborative R&D financing. These collective actions will not only provide clarity and facilitate action but also result in more effective policies and greater public investment, accelerating the adoption of these innovative materials in the fashion industry. If you're interested in learning more, I'd love to share some of my favourite next-gen companies Neofibers, GALY, Bananatex®, Ponda Bio, TômTex Co. 👇🏽🤩 #sustainability #sustainablefashion #nextgenfibres #nextgenfabrics #nextgen #futurefabrics

The Future Fabrics Expo returns to NYC in 2024 for a two-day Edition on 19-20 November at Metropolitan Pavilion (125 W 18th St, Manhattan, New York)! 🏙️✨ We’re excited to share a short roundup video of the 2024 London Future Fabrics Expo.
