A British biotech company, Modern Synthesis, has presented an amazing experiment by combining fashion and science. This company has developed fibers that are made with the help of living bacteria and are eight times stronger than steel.
The special thing about these fibers is that they are produced naturally, and neither toxic chemicals are used in their production, nor is there a huge waste of water. In this way, these new generation of clothes can be environmentally friendly, durable and attractive.
These bacteria are kept in a specific and safe environment where they create extremely thin but extremely strong fibers through a biological process. These fibers are not only light in weight and flexible, but also surprisingly long-lasting. Their use leaves a very small footprint on the earth compared to traditional clothing.
This breakthrough innovation holds transformative potential for addressing critical environmental challenges across multiple domains. For example, clothes made from these fibers are biodegradable, meaning that if they are thrown into the ground, they will decompose without any harm. In contrast, traditional clothing remains on the ground for decades, causing environmental damage.
Water conservation is another important advantage of this technology. It takes thousands of liters of water to produce ordinary clothes, especially denim and cotton. But the fibers made from bacteria require almost no water, which could be a viable solution to the water crisis.
These clothes are also notable in terms of sustainability. Their longevity and strength not only save consumers from repeated purchases, but could also help the fashion industry move away from the destructive model of ‘fast fashion’.
Experts say that although this technology is still in the experimental stage, it could become a common fashion trend in the next few years. Many international companies are investing in this direction to bring eco-friendly fashion to a commercial level.
