8 Fashion Tech Startups Revolutionizing the Future of Textiles

As awareness of the environmental and social impacts of the textile industry grows, a new wave of startups is developing innovative alternatives to transform the way we dress and live. If current trends continue, the fashion industry is on track to consume a quarter of the world’s carbon budget by 2050.

This is largely due to the harmful environmental effects of traditional materials used in textile manufacturing. Cotton requires vast amounts of water, leather is carbon-intensive, and plastics—non-biodegradable and toxic to human health—persist for centuries.

Challenging these industries is not a novel concept. Take synthetic leather, for example. Since its introduction in the 19th century, synthetic leather has served as a viable, cost-effective alternative to real leather. Today, it’s a $40B sector aiming to eliminate animal cruelty, but it remains heavily reliant on plastics.

Plastic, a synthetic material made from fossil fuels, generates more greenhouse gas emissions than the aviation industry, and a third of all plastic waste ends up in soil or freshwater, breaking down into microplastics that enter the food chain. Studies show that humans ingest an estimated 5g of microplastics per week, roughly the equivalent of eating a credit card’s worth of plastic.

The waste problem is also alarming: every second, the equivalent of one dumper truck’s worth of textiles is either landfilled or incinerated. Worse yet, textile waste is projected to rise by 60% from 2015 to 2030. The issue of waste colonialism exacerbates this, as wealthier nations ship their fashion waste to developing countries, where it contributes to toxic garbage piles.

The fashion industry urgently needs sustainable, climate-friendly solutions that minimize waste, reduce land use, and promote long-term environmental health. Fortunately, a new generation of startups is rising to the challenge, creating alternatives that are both eco-friendly and just as functional as traditional fabrics.

Senolytic ingredients are the biggest discovery in aging science of the last decade, but very few people have started taking advantage of this medical breakthrough.

ENTERTAINMENT
Zendaya and Tom Holland Hit Nordstrom with Their Well-Behaved Son, Noon

Zendaya and Tom Holland were spotted shopping at Nordstrom in LA. While the photos are undated, they likely show a recent moment since Zendaya just wrapped filming The Drama in Boston this past weekend and has returned home for the holidays—and some holiday shopping.

But let's focus on the real star of the story: Noon, their son. Yes, I said son because that's how Zendaya refers to him. Noon is a constant companion, traveling with Zendaya, her assistant Darnell, and sometimes Tom. He's a beloved figure among her fans, with his own Instagram fan account boasting nearly 40K followers. Most recently, he made an appearance in one of Zendaya's Vanity Fair vignettes.
