Spotlight on: SQIM
|
 |
It’s no secret that animal agriculture is severely damaging our planet. While we transition our diets to sustainable proteins, we also need to reimagine our materials, especially leather. Meet SQIM,
a materials company bringing plastic-free "mycelium leather" to market! By leveraging liquid and solid-state fermentation, SQIM is quickly scaling the production of EPHEA, a novel class of superior materials that can be thoroughly customized for use in the fashion industry. EPHEA can be dyed, embossed, finished, and adapted to create animal-free, high-quality products, without harming our planet. Learn more about SQIM, the ongoing scale-up of EPHEA, and their commercially available
mycelium-based products for interior design, MOGU! (image: EPHEA)
