Spiber Inc. recently announced partnerships with Kering, EILEEN FISHER, INC. , Johnstons of Elgin, and DyStar at the Biofabricate Paris Summit for its biosphere circulation project. This initiative aims to establish a system for creating fully circular textile products by using fermentation technology to turn biobased and biodegradable textile waste into new materials. Participating brands will support Spiber by providing samples for lab-scale testing and exploring the impact of textile chemicals on material conversion into fermentation nutrients. Results from these tests will be compiled into a database for designing circular products. We look forward to building further partnerships with others in the industry to shape a more sustainable future.

YUIMA NAKAZATO presented its A/W 24-25 Couture Collection “UNVEIL”, featuring Spiber's Brewed Protein™ materials in its garments.

Shirts were made of fabrics woven from Brewed Protein™ fibers and organic cotton, while the decorations were made of silk and cotton lace produced in Caudry.

Garments featuring Brewed Protein™ fibers were presented during doublet's Spring Summer 2025 collection at Paris, France. For this collection named "IDOL", Japanese designer Masayuki Ino has focused on the culture of "Oshi", the idea of rooting for an idol, celebrity or character, and introduced Spiber and our Brewed Protein™ material platform as one of his "oshi". "I was deeply moved by Spiber's vision that creating something from nothing could contribute to making the world a better place. I wanted to use their material to spread this wonderful idea to as many people as possible.” - Masayuki Ino About doublet: Established in 2012, doublet’s concept centers around turning familiar objects into "everyday wear with a sense of strangeness” and offers a range of items from ready to wear clothing to accessories.

📢CHECK OUT OUR LATEST INNOVATION, at Pitti Imagine Filati, 25 June - 27 June. OTENYA is an innovative, sustainable, soft & luxurious yarn crafted from the collaboration between Ferney Spinning Mills (Mauritius) and #Spiber Inc. (Japan). Natural protein fibers are normally obtained from animals’ hair, so Brewed Protein™ fibers offer a sustainable alternative to a wide range of conventional animal-based (cashmere, wool), plant-based, and synthetic fibers. The future production of Brewed Protein™ fibers is expected to use less water, emits less greenhouse gasses, CO2 and need less land than is usually required for cashmere fiber farming.* Brewed Protein materials are RENEWABLE, TRACEABLE, AND BIODEGRADABLE with the potential benefit of significantly reducing comparative environmental and animal welfare impacts. #cieltextile #PittiFilati #knitwear #knitinspiration #yarnsaddict #wool #mauritius #madagascar #sustainability
