I’d like to believe that on average, consumers are becoming more environmentally conscious as we are already witnessing higher demand for cleaner and more eco-conscious brands and ethical values from the, generally, wasteful fashion and textile industry.

Recycled fashion is a possible solution, however, I believe it is crucial to also revolutionize how we make and produce garments so that these garments not just reduce or limit their harmful impact but also completely disintegrate once disposed of and can absorb carbon dioxide from the air.

Algiknit is definitely a promising initiative that I would like to see become more popular even among hobbyists and knitters since fiber arts have gained more attention in the past year or so. As usually, these biotech and advanced material trials only get to be explored by the high end industry.
