Well, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.algiknit.com\/\">AlgiKnit<\/a> seems to think so. The biomaterials company has been developing biomaterials that can play a vital role in the future of sustainable manufacturing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By addressing the ecological damage caused by the fashion industry, AlgiKnit is making an impact by operating in a closed-loop product lifecycle that will bring sustainable bio-based textile alternatives to the footwear and apparel industries.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The biomaterials startup focuses on transforming the apparel ecosystem with rapidly renewable bio-based textiles. AlgiKnit has found a way of utilising materials with a significantly lower environmental footprint than conventional textiles. One of these materials is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.designindaba.com\/articles\/creative-work\/kelp-catwalk\">Kelp<\/a>. Considered to be one of the fastest-growing organisms on earth \u2013 up to 10 times faster than bamboo. &#8220;Kelp is grown in aquatic farms around the world in coastal communities, often by fishermen and women, providing income during the fishing off-season,&#8221; states their site.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the benefits of Kelp, according to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/fashionunited.com\/news\/business\/sustainable-textile-innovations-bio-yarn-made-from-kelp-fibres\/2018032620363\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fashion United<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is that it improves the environment by absorbing nutrients from agricultural and sewer run-off that can alter coastal settings.
