The manufacture of clothing, and material consumed in the process, is a vast industrial ecosystem ripe of decarbonization from many angles. Three startups leading the way: Unspun, which localizes production and eliminates waste with customized, onsite clothing production, is coming to Walmart soon. Smartex uses computer vision to catch defects in textile weaving early, reducing waste and costs associated with imperfections. Gozen makes a biomaterial from micro-organisms that is stronger than animal leather but has the same natural drape - so much so the fashion house Balenciaga recently showcased Gozen’s Lunaform material.
