SaltyCo - Freshwater Free Fabrics
Our world is changing and so should our practices. Freshwater, a commodity that seems so abundant in our daily life is only at 3% of the total water found in the globe. Being sustainable is not only about recycling, but also finding alternatives to what seems unheard off.
A simple solution…drink seawater. Well we wouldn’t recommend this for you or your precious house plant but SaltyCo seems to have found a way to do so.
Using salt-tolerant plants that thrives in seawater, SaltyCo achieved to create sustainable fabrics that could overthrow products like cotton which consume 20,000 litres of freshwater to produce just a kilogram of the material. Targeting mostly the fashion industry, this technique could be further developed within the use of textile in architectural construction and interiors.
