To mitigate the fashion industry’s environmental impact, Werewool is designing a revolutionary fiber development platform to create biodegradable fibers with tailored aesthetic and performance properties. Inspired by nature, and utilizing the tools of biotechnology, Werewool is developing a platform to design fibers at the DNA level for sustainable textiles with inherent properties such as color, moisture management, and stretch, that meet the demands of today’s consumers. Werewool is made with a circular lifecycle, returning nutrients to the ecosystem at the end of their useful life, and protecting biodiversity (Earth’s greatest resilience to climate change) from the effects of microplastic pollution. By creating fibers with inherent color, we are preventing the pollution associated with conventional textile dyes that cause dead zones in rivers, streams and other freshwater resources.
