Congratulations to The Mills Fabrica on their 2023 Impact Report! 👏 Last year, through their partnership with the H&M Foundation, Phycolabs had the amazing opportunity to visit Hong Kong, a global hub for fashion innovation, research, and manufacturing. During our visit, we connected with key players in the Asian market, including investors, incubators, accelerators, and leading brands. These interactions provided valuable insights into current manufacturing processes and the potential for future material innovations. The report highlights key achievements, innovative initiatives across Hong Kong and London, and how a collaborative community fosters visionary ideas in the techstyle and agrifood tech sectors. We invite you to explore the full report below and learn more! 🔎 Let's continue working together towards a more sustainable future! 💪 Download the full report here 👉 https://bit.ly/3XzmbB0. #Innovation #Sustainability #GlobalChangeAward #HongKong #Seaweed

At #COP29, countries will face intense pressure to fulfill the ambitious climate commitments made last year. The fashion industry, a major polluter, will be under heightened scrutiny to accelerate its decarbonization efforts. 👀 While progress has been made in reducing reliance on fossil fuels, more rapid action is expected. A key focus will be on cutting carbon emissions through renewable energy investments and setting strict timelines. Additionally, there will likely be a push for sustainable materials that can revolutionize the industry. The fashion industry needs to adopt tangible, scalable solutions to minimize its environmental impact, with clear, aligned targets. We are committed to staying informed about the latest regulations and developments in this rapidly changing landscape. By navigating these changes, we can ensure our practices align with the newest standards and expectations. Together, we can lead the way to a sustainable future! 🧡 #SustainableFashion #ClimateAction #Decarbonization #Seaweed #Ocean

Big news from Climate Central, Inc.! 👏 They’ve introduced the Climate Shift Index: Ocean (Ocean CSI), a pioneering tool that monitors daily shifts in sea surface temperatures and connects them to human-induced climate change. This tool reveals that climate change has made this summer’s Hurricane Beryl 400 times more likely. 🌊 Building on Climate Central’s efforts to track global weather changes, Ocean CSI provides crucial insights into our ocean’s health - a key component of our climate system. As sea temperatures rise, our oceans struggle to balance climate, support biodiversity, and mitigate storms. It's crucial we leverage this new data to drive action and safeguard our planet! The Phycolabs team is committed to supporting innovations like this that help us better understand and respond to climate change. Together, we can make a difference! 💪 Check out the full article here: https://lnkd.in/duu5DiDz. #oceandecade #seaweed #innovation #climatecentral #climatechange

Our seaweed-based fibers are more than just a material innovation - they're a force for good! We're committed to benefiting both people and the planet. 🌏 Made entirely from seaweed, our fiber is a microplastic-free alternative to traditional textiles. It's traceable, scalable, and delivers exceptional performance, making it the sustainable choice for the future of fashion. Seaweed's incredible potential enables us to: 🔸 Reducing pollution and creating a cleaner planet 🔸 Restoring marine ecosystems and supporting biodiversity 🔸 Absorbing greenhouse gases and combating climate change What's even better? Seaweed is a efficient resource that grows rapidly without harming the environment. It's a win-win for our planet and future generations! #phycolabs #seaweed #environment #FromOceanToOutfit #OceanDecade

In an interview with WIRED en español, Thamires shared the inspiring journey behind founding Phycolabs. Driven by a passion for sustainability and cutting-edge technology, she demonstrated how seaweed has the potential to replace polluting materials, while still being economically viable and scalable. 🌊 At Phycolabs, we are developing innovations that not only reshape the future but revolutionize the fashion and materials industry. With seaweed, we create high-performance, eco-friendly alternatives that reduce environmental impact, reduce petrochemical dependence, and provide businesses and consumers with a sustainable future.

On International Women's Equality Day, let's celebrate together the incredible achievements of women worldwide and reaffirm our commitment to gender equality. 🎉 Founded by a woman, we understand the importance of investing in women. Investing in women means investing in families, communities, and the future. It's a powerful force that drives progress and innovation. Today, we honor scientists like Sonia Guimarães and Ada Lovelace, as well as Cida and Talita Ayres from Rancho Ayres, who are making significant contributions to our future through their work with seaweed and their leadership within the community in Paraty, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. At Phycolabs, we are proud to call these inspiring women our friends. Together, we can create a more equitable world. Be the change! 💪 #womensequalityday #GenderEquality #WomenInScience #EmpowerHer

We’re thrilled to share that Phycolabs has been featured in the recent edition of Revista Costura Perfeita! What makes this such a cause for celebration? Journalist Silvia Boriello brought an insightful piece on the #BlueEconomy and how it relates to the fashion industry. 👏 For #Phycolabs, the Blue Economy is key to our mission of using aquatic resources sustainably. It aligns with our vision to drive innovation and contribute to a greener future for fashion, where eco-friendly materials and responsible production are the standard. 🌊 This recognition highlights our role in merging marine-based solutions with the future of fashion.

Time to detox your wardrobe! 🚫 Your closet might be a bigger polluter than you realize. Tiny plastic particles are breaking off from your synthetic clothes and making their way into our bodies and the environment. Every year, these clothes could lead us to ingest thousands of microplastics. According to Our World in Data and Knowable Magazine, plastic pollution has become a global crisis. Since the invention of the first synthetic plastic, Bakelite, in 1907, plastic production has skyrocketed. Since the 1950s, plastic production has increased 230-fold - from just 2 million tonnes in 1950 to 460 million tonnes in 2019. In fact, production has doubled in just the last 20 years. Shockingly, 40% of all plastic is made for single-use packaging, and much of it ends up polluting our oceans. Marine scientist Imogen Napper’s research shows that washing synthetic fibers like polyester releases microplastics into the environment, significantly contributing to ocean pollution. In fact, synthetic fibers are responsible for up to 35% of all microplastic pollution in the ocean. 🌊 It’s time to make conscious choices. Raising awareness about this issue and encouraging others to join the movement towards a cleaner planet is essential.
