Pangaia and NFW introduce new plant-based and plastic-free material
Materials science company Pangaia and Natural Fiber Welding (NFW) has unveiled the world’s first commercially available apparel made from Mirum, a new, plant-based, and plastic-free material designed to be a solution for footwear, fashion, automotive, accessories, and upholstery.
The latest innovation released through Pangaia Lab is an air gilet, which combines Pangaia’s organic cotton, signature fleece lining, and its Flwrdwn filling made using a combination of wildflowers, a biopolymer and cellulose aerogel, with an exterior made from newly reformulated and thinner leather-like version of Mirum.
NFW’s Mirum has been designed to be both 100 percent recyclable and 100 percent circular in nature and because it does not contain any petrochemicals or plastics, Mirum can return its nutrients to the earth safely at the end of its life when the sole material is disposed of in the correct waste stream.
