In a groundbreaking collaboration, Adidas and Stella McCartney have unveiled two innovative sustainable apparel prototypes that are revolutionizing the fashion industry. These cutting-edge garments not only push the boundaries of eco-friendly fashion but also pave the way for a more sustainable future.
The first of the two prototypes, the Infinite Hoodie, is a game-changer in the world of sustainable fashion. Made from 100% recyclable material using NuCyclTM technology, this hoodie is created from garment waste, transforming old cotton into new, high-quality fabric. With 60% NuCyclTM and 40% organic cotton diverted from landfills, the Infinite Hoodie represents a significant step towards a circular fashion economy where products can be continuously recycled and repurposed.
The second prototype, the Biofabric Tennis Dress, is a true testament to the power of collaboration and innovation. Developed with MicrosilkTM and cellulose blended yarn, this dress is the first of its kind to showcase the use of bioengineered sustainable materials and fibers. The combination of cellulose blended yarn and MicrosilkTM, a protein-based material made from renewable ingredients, ensures that the dress can fully biodegrade at the end of its life cycle.
These sustainable apparel prototypes reflect Adidas’s and Stella McCartney’s unwavering commitment to sustainability. By partnering with industry leaders such as Evrnu and Bolt Threads, adidas aims to create products that are fully recyclable or biodegradable, eliminating the concept of waste altogether.
Stella McCartney has also emphasized the urgent need for the fashion industry to address its environmental impact and seek innovative solutions to combat toxic waste pollution. The unveiling of these groundbreaking prototypes marks a significant milestone in the journey towards a more sustainable and eco-conscious fashion industry.
