Kering, EILEEN FISHER INC. and more partner with Spiber for a global circularity solution
On January 11, 2024, Spiber Inc. announced and welcomed new partnerships with Kering, EILEEN FISHER Inc., Johnstons of Elgin, and DyStar at Biofabricate Paris Summit, a global network serving the needs of bio-innovators, consumer brands, and investors, for Spiber’s groundbreaking initiative, the biosphere circulation project, which presents a pioneering methodology for regenerating biobased and biodegradable textile and agricultural waste through the utilization of its proprietary fermentation technology.
The primary objective of this project is to propel society towards the creation of fully circular textile products that can be regenerated at an industrial scale into Spiber’s innovative Brewed Protein™ materials at the end of their lifecycle.
Understanding the pressing need to confront the sustainability challenges currently facing the apparel industry, Spiber advocates for a collaborative approach to expedite research and development, hastening the implementation of this cutting-edge system.
In support of this vision, Kering, EILEEN FISHER Inc., Johnstons of Elgin, and DyStar have now elected to join the project following Goldwin and Pangaia, who began participating in June 2023. These collaborations aim to catalyze the transition from a linear “take-make-use-dispose” model to a circular “take-make-use-reuse” model.
