29acacia extracts fibre from felled trees; a genuine waste by-product of the food industry to develop textile made from up to 100% agricultural banana waste. The results of 29acacia’s first pilot launched on the runway at London Fashion Week and were covered by VOGUE.
61% of the fashion industry’s shortfall in meeting global CO2 reduction targets comes from ‘upstream operations’ – predominantly materials and their production. ‘Sustainable’ textiles available on the market do not improve impact enough to meet reduction targets.
29acacia noted this unmet need and is developing the first scalable cotton and viscose replacements made from up to 100% agricultural banana waste, to deliver a low-cost plug-and-play product for the ready-to-wear fashion market.
