GREEN ISLAND – Mycelium innovator Ecovative, which last year established an industry cooperative with Bestseller and PVH Corp, has welcomed materials science company Pangaia and footwear firm Vivobarefoot into the fold.
Launched with support from sustainability initiative Fashion for Good (FFG), the cooperative sets out to co-develop custom mycelium materials for applications within the fashion sector.
The mushroom-based leather alternative is growing in prominence within the sector as company’s turn from animal-derived materials.
