Pangaia Adds 100% Biobased Plant and Fruit Fibres To Its Sustainable Materials Menu

Pangaia, the London-based sustainable fashion brand, has just added two new 100% bio-based alternatives to its material line-up. The new “PlntFiber” and “FrutFiber” fabrics are made from blends of plant and agricultural waste, and new products containing these fibres will feature QR-code “digital passports” so customers can see how sustainable their garments are.

Pangaia says that having released its initial collection using the fibres, it plans to make its proprietary blends available to other brand partners, in a bid to help the industry shift away from non-bio-based materials, such as non-organic cotton, which requires 10,000 litres of water to produce each kilogram, or synthetic nylon, made using high-emissions petrochemicals.
