Novozymes
High tech fabrics that are kinder to the environment
Novozymes is out to start a sustainable chemical reaction. Their new ‘elemental’ fabrics replace some of the harsh chemicals used in traditional materials with enzymes, a natural protein molecule.
The result is a sleek, superior fabric that’s softer, harder wearing and more drapable. Kind to the environment, its production uses less water and energy, which means reduced CO2 emissions and health-damaging particles. It’s also more efficient, getting more fabric from the same amount of cotton.
The appliance of science to fashion might sound a little out there but, if you ask Novozymes, thinking sustainability into fabrics isn’t something special – it’s elemental.
