Wearable Mushroom Fashion

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

MycoTEX is a 100% Biodegradable Material Made from Mycelium

— March 31, 2018 — Eco
There is an incredible amount of waste generated by the fast fashion industry, but MycoTEX has the potential to provide a solution from an unlikely source—mycelium, or mushroom roots.

MycoTEX is a completely biodegradable material made from natural fiber that can simply be returned to the earth at the end of its useful life. At Dutch Sustainable Fashion Week, the first runway-ready prototype was unveiled, offering a glimpse into a more earth-friendly future within the realm of fashion.

MycoTEX was recently recognized by the non-profit H&M Foundation's Global Change Award for its 'Funghi Fashion.' As such, MycoTEX has been granted €150K and the chance to participate in a global accelerator program with the H&M Foundation, KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Fjord and Accenture.
Trend Themes
1. Biodegradable Fashion - The use of biodegradable materials in fashion opens up opportunities for sustainable fashion production and reduces the industry's environmental impact.
2. Mycelium-based Materials - Efforts to produce sustainable materials from natural sources, such as mycelium, can lead to new and innovative material options for industries beyond fashion.
3. Circular Economy - More emphasis and investment in fashion production processes that follow circular economy principles can reduce waste and move towards a more sustainable fashion industry.
Industry Implications
1. Fashion - Sustainable fashion production using biodegradable materials such as mycelium-based ones can lead to more earth-friendly and responsible fashion production processes.
2. Textile - Efforts to produce sustainable materials from natural sources can lead to innovative and eco-friendly options for textile production beyond fashion.
3. Environmental - Investing in materials and production processes that have less environmental impact can have far-reaching effects across multiple industries beyond fashion.
