Nyligen beviljades projektet ”ALLGAE – Textilfibrer från 100 % algråvara” som finansieras av Formas, a Swedish Research Council for Sustainable Development. Projektet syftar till att utveckla algbaserade textilfibrer från sidoströmmar av tång, samtidigt som ett nytt algpigment integreras direkt under fiberspinningen. Målet är skapa ett hållbart och cirkulärt alternativ till traditionella fossil- och biobaserade fibrer, och eliminera behovet av skadliga färgämnen. ALLGAE är ett samarbete mellan Manatee Biomaterials, MOUNID, Houdini Sportswear, RISE Research Institutes of Sweden och Chalmers Industriteknik (koordinator) och löper från december 2024 till november 2026.

Our future depends on innovation. But true progress requires the collaboration of us all — because only together can we create impactful and sustainable solutions for generations to come. 🇸🇪 Last week, we hosted the Gothenburg Sustainability Expo, bringing together visionaries and change-makers who are driving the change for a sustainable future. 💡 Key Highlights: - Karin Svensson (Volvo Group), Vanessa Butani (Volvo Cars), and Magnus Rosén (SKF Group) inspired us with their visions of sustainable corporate practices. - Markus Hökfelt (SEB) and Ulf G. Erlandsson (Anthropocene Fixed Income Institute) emphasized the crucial role of sustainable finance in scaling innovative solutions. - Thomas Buch Andersson (Responsibly) showcased AI's potential in enhancing supply chain sustainability. - Dennis Nobelius (Syre) illustrated how textile recycling partnerships can drive decarbonization. - Aldara Naveira Suarez (SKF Group) introduced SKF RecondOil, highlighting collaboration for closed-loop solutions. 🙌🏻 Thank you to our speakers, partners, startups, and attendees! 🚀 Let’s keep the momentum going and turn bold ideas into impactful solutions. Here’s to new collaborations ahead! 🌱 --- Startups showcasing: Syre; Emsense AB; Embedl; Arbon Earth AB; Uniquesec AB; Logivity; NOBON; IFLAI AB; MOUNID; Flexibility; decarbAI by ProptechCore; Responsibly; BonCalor Special thanks to Gothenburg Tech Week for the contribution and World of Volvo for the incredible venue.

Big thanks to Biocolour conference 2024 and professor Riikka Räisänen for the opportunity to present our work on natural textile dyes made from microalgae and forest resources in Helsinki the first week of June. It was a pleasure to share our work and insights together with Linda Magdalena Jonsson, Alder Olmai and to meet like-minded, such as Julie Beeler from Mushroom Color Atlas. Gathering to discuss the crucial role of Biocolours in creating a healthier future for the textile industry is so important. / MOUNID & Alder Olmai 💚 #biocoloursconference2024 #biocolours #naturaldye #sustainablevaluechainforcolour #colourproduction

Our oceans need our help now more than ever, but with the help of algae, we're turning the tide on ocean crises and restoring our waters. 🌱 💧♻️ The LOCALITY project aims to create sustainable, circular value chains from algae. By bringing together industrial players, we're sparking innovation and crafting amazing algae-based products for both local and global markets. 🌍 Plus, we're safeguarding Europe's aquatic ecosystems every step of the way. 🐟 From nutritious foods to eco-friendly textiles, LOCALITY is paving the way for socially responsible and sustainable solutions. We're using algae from side streams and the Baltic and North Seas to create these incredible products. 🌿 #LocalityAlgae #Algae #Agriculture #Aquaculture #Food #Textile #Sustainability #CircularEconomy

Time to put fast fashion out of fashion. 🛑     Here are some eye-opening facts ↓    👖 The fashion industry has the fourth highest impact on the environment and climate change, after food, housing, and transport.   🚰 Textile consumption is one of the top three pressures on water and land use.   👕5 million tonnes of textiles are discarded every year in the EU. That's 11.3 kg per person!   ♻️ Only 1 % of the material used around the world for clothing is recycled into new clothing.     Feel the urgency? We need to move towards a more sustainable and circular textiles sector. It's part of our Circular Economy Action Plan that covers the whole economy.    Our strategy for Sustainable and Circular Textiles will ensure that by 2030, all textile products placed on the EU market are long-lived and recyclable and produced with respect to social rights and the environment.   Read more about the EU Strategy for Sustainable and Circular Textiles: https://lnkd.in/e-EGA25X   #EUGreenDeal #CircularEconomy #ReFashionNow
