Will fungi and algae feature on future runways
MYCL, an Indonesian company, produces alternatives to leather and plastic using fungi and algae, aiming to provide sustainable materials for the fashion and automotive sectors. Their technology is characterized by its ability to be produced on-site, reducing supply chain length. They have collaborated with companies like Hyundai and Lexus to use mycelium in car seats. Recently, the company added a bio-based material derived from seaweed and is working with brands such as Adidas. However, they primarily target niche markets, emphasizing the need for a reliable material ecosystem to move away from traditional and animal-based materials.
