AlgiKnit Creating Clothes from Kelp

 

AlgiKnit is creating eco-conscious, renewable yarns for the circular economy. They’re developing these durable, yet rapidly degradable, yarns from kelp, one of the most regenerative organisms on the planet. Their material is built for everyone, according to the company — a functional and accessible resource without environmental harm. “We’re envisioning a future where the textile industry operates in a closed-loop product lifecycle, utilizing materials with a significantly lower footprint than conventional textiles.”
