ISKO partners with MoRe Research


                   Denim manufacturer Isko, headquartered in Bursa, Turkey, has partnered
                   with Swedish research and development company MoRe Research, a

                   part of RISE Research Institutes of Sweden, to investigate and develop
                   new, sustainable technologies made from cellulosic-based materials
                   derived from waste textiles.


                   Isko will draw on MoRe’s expertise and resources to find ways of
                   repurposing clean and toxic-free cellulose powders that are created from
                   decomposed cotton, as well as recycled polyester, and reintegrate them
                   back into fabric production.

                   The long-term aim is that by using all of the outputs from the recycling of
                   textiles back into textiles, the prospect of a closed-loop system for Isko’s
                   25,000+ range of products will become more feasible.





                   Bolt Threads’ Mushroom “UnLeather” Mylo Awarded Prestigious





                   Vegan Certification


                   Eurofins | Chem-MAP announces that Bolt Threads‘ innovative plant-

                   based material Mylo Unleather has been verified as a vegan material
                   following the successful completion of the Eurofins Vegan Verification
                   Programme, which involves the analysis of all inputs for the presence of
                   animal DNA. Mylo is one of the first vegan new materials to receive this

                   verification.
                   Mylo looks and feels like animal leather and as such is currently used by
                   world-leading brands such as adidas, Stella McCartney, lululemon and
                   Kering. Created from mycelium – the underground root structure of fungi

                   – the material is certified bio-based and is developed using a highly
                   efficient process that is deliberately designed to have a low
                   environmental impact. For example, the mycelium used to make Mylo is
                   grown in less than two weeks using vertical farming techniques in a

                   facility that runs on 100% renewable energy.
