We’re developing durable yet rapidly degradable yarns from kelp, one of the most regenerative organisms on the planet. Our material is built for everyone: a functional and accessible resource without environmental harm. We’re envisioning a future where the textile industry operates in a closed-loop product lifecycle, utilizing materials with a significantly lower footprint than conventional textiles. For too long, textile production has troubled us. The fashion industry produces 10% of the world's carbon emissions, more than all international flights and maritime shipping combined as of 2019, prior to the pandemic. At this pace, the industry’s greenhouse gas emissions will surge more than 50% by 2030. So, we set out on a mission to see if we could change that. AlgiKnit is a biomaterials company built by designers and backed by science to create new methods of textile production.
