Ep. 123: Pangaia introduces bio-based fabric
The Textile Innovation Podcast speaks with Chelsea Franklin, head of advanced concepts at PANGAIA.
PANGAIA is a lifestyle brand bringing scientific material innovations to the market. Using nature as inspiration the UK-based brand creates bio-engineered materials.
In this episode, head of advanced concepts Chelsea Franklin speaks to me about the brand’s use of Fulgar’s EVO 100% bio-based fabric, which is obtained from castor oil. Franklin touches upon how it contributes toward Pangaia’s sustainability initiatives.
Suitable for textile applications, EVO by Fulgar is also ultra-light, super stretch and extremely breathable, dries quickly and does not require ironing; it also has thermal properties and natural odour control characteristics. Franklin explains why this is ideal for Pangaia and how it can be scaled up.
She also touches upon Pangaia’s near shoring efforts and traceable supply chains. To learn more please visit pangaia.com.
