Fashion and ecology: clothes that capture CO2 and purify the air

The innovation of the day is new ecological clothing.

You have found us jackets and trenches that clean the air in a natural way.

They have just been presented at fashion week.

These are clothes capable of capturing CO2 and particles around you, then transforming them into oxygen.

They function like any other plant, since their tissue has been mixed with algae and living microorganisms.

In addition, we did not choose just any, but the most effective to eliminate CO2.

Which can really allow "fashionistas-hiptser-ecolos" to reduce their carbon footprint, while remaining stylish.

But if the algae are alive, how do you wash clothes?

It will be better to take them to the gardener than to the dyer.

Because in order for the garment to remain active, it must be taken care of like a houseplant.

That is to say, water it regularly (a sprayer is enough), and store it in a bright and well-ventilated place.

Fortunately, we can still wash it.

But obviously by hand, with a neutral detergent.

And what is the lifespan of these clothes?

It will depend on how they were made.

At EgonLab's stylists, for example, we mixed materials.

In principle, their clothes can last "for years" if taken care of.

On the other hand, with the Biogarmentry technique, the clothes only last a month.

Afterwards, they will have to be composted.

We would like to make an alternative to "fast fashion", the collections which are linked and which make the clothes disposable.

So there is a chance that it will develop.

You just have to see the success of all the brands that advocate sustainable fashion.

After recycled and recyclable clothes, why not those that clean the air around you?
