About this Episode
More clothing brands are replacing synthetic textiles with plant-based and recycled materials. Innovations include fabrics made from agricultural waste such as Abacá fibres from banana plants, used in products like bags and outerwear. The shift reflects growing pressure to reduce pollution linked to fossil-fuel-based textiles. Other alternatives include seaweed fibres, hemp, cork and recycled fabrics, showing a broader move toward biodegradable and renewable materials.
