KEEL LABS - KELSUN
Overview:
”Kelsun is a seaweed-based yarn with a significantly lower environmental footprint than conventional fibers. Created using an abundant biopolymer found in kelp, Kelsun harnesses the renewable power of our ocean's resources”.
Ingredient information:
Keel Labs pairs kelp's biopolymers with green chemistry to create proprietary, drop-in solutions for existing yarn and textile production infrastructure. Their process is grounded in the use and creation of clean, non-toxic inputs and outputs.
Sustainability credentials:
Kelp is one of the most regenerative organisms on our planet and absorbs carbon dioxide in the ocean, similar to trees on land. Growing kelp is beneficial for us and for the planet, resulting in cleaner, improved marine habitats and ecosystems and less carbon in our air and water.
Application and use:
”Kelsun can be used wherever yarns and textiles have an application. This includes the fashion industry, with applications in garments and accessories, but also to other industries such as home furnishings, interiors, and automotive”.
