Hi, my name is Isabella and I am a fashion student at the Arts University Bournemouth. The innovation that caught my eye recently was a company called AlgiKnit.
They basically create thread from seaweed, specifically kelp, and it's a biopolymer mixture into kelp which you can 3D print or you can create some knitted material with that is biodegradable thread basically and organisms can break down anywhere.
It could also be naturally dyed and I think it's so awesome because the fashion industry is one of the biggest polluters and we're finally pushing towards other sustainable options. Another one that I've seen that it could be naturally broken down is they're creating leathers from pectin which is part of an app which I thought was quite cool.
