The fashion industry is the second biggest polluter! Algiknit are changing that by looking to the sea! Their yarn is derived from Kelp, one of the most renewable organisms on earth!
AlgiKnit is a biomaterials company integrating science and design into textile production. Addressing the overabundance of everlasting plastics, AlgiKnit is creating durable yet rapidly degradable yarns. We envision the next generation of sustainable, wearable and ethical materials, produced within a closed-loop life cycle.
Algiknit are part of RebelBio’s Cohort V. Based in Imperial College’s White City Incubator, London.
