Covalent, a new direct-to-consumer fashion brand is offering a palliative response to the silent, yet sizable impact fashion has upon the environment annually with a thirty-five piece collection. After a decade of research, the company has announced the utilization of a proprietary technology called AirCarbon – a biotechnological process created as the “world’s first regenerative, carbon-negative” manufacturing system applied across the company’s entire line of modern luxury accessories. Covalent modelled AirCarbon after the natural energy process found occurring in the ocean where marine microorganisms use air and carbon extracted from greenhouse gas. Covalent uses the biomimetic technology to produce carbon-negative, regenerative materials with the appearance of leather and acetate, materials that can be melted into fibre, shapes and sheet products to create eyewear and fashion accessories where leather is traditionally used.
