AMSilk: New Collab Aims to Develop High-Performance Biobased Vegan Fibres

AMSilk, the biotech-based vegan silk material innovator, has announced a collaboration with BRAIN Biotech, a leader in developing and manufacturing biobased solutions and products, to develop high-performance vegan fibres for textiles and other applications. According to AMSilk, its partnership with BRAIN Biotech will leverage its expertise to optimise specific properties of structural proteins necessary for developing a new type of resistant fibres. The two German bio-economy frontrunners said they are teaming up to revolutionize the performance materials market with new bio-fabricated sustainable materials that can replace petroleum-based textile fibres, a primary source for microplastics and non-biodegradable fashion garments. “Bio-fabricated products hold enormous potential as sustainable material solutions for the future.”  A sustainable future through biobased solutions Recently relocated to Campus Neuried in Munich, AMSilk is …
