体裁:说明文
When Chui-Lian Lee and Valentina Gomez
started on their academic journeys as textile
developing and marketing majors at the Fash-
ion Institute of Technology,they were eager to
learn more about the clothing industry.Some of
the things they ended up learning shocked them.
They found out that roughly 11 million tons of
textile waste end up in landfill each year,and the
chemicals and gases that emerge during decompo-
sition pollute the earth.
Every single class that they joined,they'd go
through the impacts and it'd be like,"Okay,cot-
ton has this large of a water footprint and people
are turning to organic cotton,but that's not real-
ly a solution because of these reasons."Or "Peo-
ple are looking at recycled polyester(涤纶)but
that's not great because it still releases micro-
plastics."As every solution they learned about
came with drawbacks,they both wound up feel-
ing really frustrated.
It wasn't until the two joined a class on the
application of biotechnology to the manufacturing
of clothing that they realized there could be a
more environmentally friendly option for the
fashion industry.Lee and Gomez learned that
they could use specially engineered proteins to
create a fiber that avoids plastics and degrades
(分解)naturally,and then the idea for Werewool
was born."By changing how we are creating the
fibers that make up our clothing,we can change
the entire life cycle of our clothing and their end-
of-life impacts on the environment,avoiding pol-
lution from plastics,"Lee explains.
The early-stage biotech company focusing on
developing biodegradable fibers for the textile in-
dustry initially started as a research project that
involved many sleepless nights in the lab.After
winning the H&M Global Change Award in
2020,the project launched into a company.Over
four years and 4.5 million dollars in funding lat-
er,Werewool now has 12 employees and has be-
gun working with brands to develop clothing out
of their protein-based fibers,with the hope of
launching products in 2025.By 2030,125,000
tons of fiber is expected to enter the market,
which is about 390 million shirts.
