About Event
In the last few years, rapid advances in science and technology have driven a new materials revolution, supported by some of fashion’s biggest brands and a plethora of start-ups developing materials from novel feedstocks such as algae, fungi and food waste.
The Sustainable Alternative and Bio-Based Alternative Materials Innovation Summit will bring together key decision-makers from bio-material innovators and alternative material providers, together with fashion & apparel brands, leading suppliers and manufacturers, to explore key challenges and opportunities in the successful commercialization of sustainable and bio-based materials at scale.
Next March join fellow experts from MII, Everlane, Reformation, Modern Meadow, Spiber, and many more, to discuss how pioneering alternative and biotech enabled innovations are changing the sustainable materials landscape and adoption. Addressing topics from scaling up from R&D into pilot production and beyond, discover how these new materials are pushing boundaries on both sustainability and functionality, whilst transforming value chains
