YAMAGATA - Japanese biotechnology company Spiber has announced the first milestone in its partnership with Italian spinner Zegna Baruffa Lane Borgosesia, which has successfully blended merino wool with Spiber’s Brewed Protein fibres.
Spiber's Brewed Protein is made from plant-derived biomass, such as sugar cane and farm waste, using a proprietary fermentation process to produce polymers that can be transformed into a variety of forms, including textiles.
