Could fashion help solve the climate crisis, rather than exacerbate it? HeiQ AeoniQ is a revolutionary new fibre produced from cellulosic biopolymers found in algae, bacteria or food waste, which capture carbon as they grow.
Designed to replace polyester and nylon, and with support from Hugo Boss and Lycra, this plastic-free, tree-free fibre is one to watch. The bad news? It won’t reach commercial scale until the end of 2024.
