About this deal

Animal agriculture accounts for approximately 18% of global greenhouse gas emissions and is driving the destruction of vital ecosystems. Over the course of the last 5,000 iterations or so, they have transformed mycelium into Mylo™️ – a verified vegan, certified bio-based alternative to animal leather that is soft, supple and with significantly lower environmental impacts. Essential to ending the use of animal products in fashion is innovating realistic, durable and desirable alternatives to leather, fur and skins – and we need your help to drive private investment and incentivisation to encourage a more collaborative commitment to positive change. Since we started using ECONYLⓇ in 2017, we have prevented over 10 tonnes of nylon from going to landfill.

Plant-based fibres are biodegradable, vegan and can be grown in a way that protects biodiversity instead of exploiting nature. ECONYLⓇ uses industrial waste, post-consumer textiles destined for landfill and ocean plastics to create virgin-quality regenerated nylon that feels luxuriously silky and durable. At the end of its life, it can be recycled, remade and remoulded again. In 2020, ECONYLⓇ collaborated with fishermen and divers to collect 75,000 kg of fishing nets from the ocean bed.

of the world ’s remaining forests are degraded to some extent as a result of direct human actions . What does regenerative cotton mean? Like organic cotton, it uses less water than industrial methods and no harmful chemicals or pesticides that may poison local communities and species. Regenerative cotton goes a few steps further by restoring critical habitats, benefiting biodiversity and improving soil health. When most of us imagine mushrooms, we picture the bulbous caps that sprout up in gardens or forests. However, under that is mycelium – the naturally abundant and infinitely renewable root system of fungi. It is the internet of the natural world; a complex and connected network of lattices, weaving across and holding together the Earth’s surface. There is expected to be 4 billion tonnes of manure created by animal agriculture by 2030, largely from cows also raised for leather. This leeches into local waterways and pollutes the air with methane and other noxious greenhouse gases, creating massive environmental and health challenges. Ultimately, it is not only about saving animals’ lives but our own. The future of fashion –and our planet– is cruelty-free.

Leather tanning is often outsourced to developing countries, where people must work in poor conditions and are exposed to harmful and carcinogenic tanning chemicals. 90% of tannery workers in Bangladesh die before the age of 50. Bolt Threads calls this process to unleather: “The radical act of choosing products made sustainably with infinitely renewable mycelium over animal and synthetic-based materials.” These world experts have been recognised with global sustainability certifications and have helped to build a process designed for human health and safety and the lowest environmental impact. This finishing gives Mylo™️ the same luxury look and feel of animal leather, without the noxious chemicals of conventional tanning techniques that harm local communities and ecosystems. We use this versatile material for everything from ready-to-wear to the linings of sneakers. Since we started using ECONYLⓇ in 2017, we have prevented over 10 tonnes of nylon from going to landfill – reducing our global warming impact by 90% compared to using virgin fibres.

The Predator Freak unisex football boot is innovated with vegan DEMONSKIN rubber spikes instead of kangaroo leather. Fashion has a waste solution. Regenerated fibres mean we can actively be a part of a circular economy. Instead of producing limitless waste, we can create endless possibilities. ECONYLⓇ reduces the global warming impact of nylon by up to 90% compared with virgin petroleum-based materials. They say you are never more than three feet away from a spider. The same can likely be said of cotton. Half of all textiles are made out of it, from outerwear to underwear. We collaborated with adidas to produce the first-ever 100% recyclable hoodie made from garment waste using Evrnu’s NuCycl™.

Every year, 150 million trees are cut down to create clothing – often from ancient and endangered forests. Already, 82% of forests have been degraded by human activities, which alters how they nourish themselves and access water. It also reduces the amount of carbon trees can store, putting it into our atmosphere and driving climate change. If achieved globally, regenerative systems can drawdown more than 100% of current annual CO2 emissions. Evrnu’s NuCycl™ fibres are made to be remade, created through a process that liquifies cotton textiles. These are then blended with wood pulp and regenerated into breathable cellulose fibres that can be transformed into virgin-quality jersey, denim or twill that is effortlessly comfortable and ultra-soft to the touch. In addition to creating clothing and accessories from cruelty-free alternatives to leather and fur in our collections, we have also partnered with industry giants like adidas on the world’s first vegan Stan Smiths and football boots – the Predator Freak, co-designed by legendary football player Paul Pogba. Proof that collaboration within the fashion industry can create beautiful products that consumers want, and our planet needs.BBC Earth and Teemill have joined forces to disrupt the fashion industry and propose a solution to one of the greatest environmental problems caused by fast fashion – landfill. We exclusively use 100% animal-free glues or solvent-less designs to be truly cruelty-free, down to the smallest details. Healthier soils are able to drawdown and store more carbon. In fact, if this movement goes global, regenerative systems can drawdown more than 100% of current annual CO2 emissions.
