There’s Bactoink, and then this innovative biomaterial fabric that was created using bacteria by London-startup Modern Synthesis. This microbial textiles are cultivated inside bioreactors using sugar from plant waste and bacteria. The goal is to eventually replace both leather and synthetic fabric made from fossil fuels.
Co-founder Jen Keane previously was a material designer at Adidas and helped create sneakers made from recycled ocean waste. This helped her create this new biomaterial, which reportedly has fibers with a tensile strength that is greater than steel and are stronger than Kevlar. What are those lines you see? It’s a scaffold that helps the microorganisms grow sourced from natural materials. When these microbes consume sugar, they begin weaving the new fabric around the scaffold, thus resulting in a hybrid material of the scaffolding as well as nanocellulose.

What we’re trying to build is a new bioeconomy that’s built around more efficient systems that convert waste—in our case, waste sugars from agricultural production or other sources—into high-quality materials that can then be circled back. Biology is the ultimate circular economy.” Later, the materials can be recycled, or, depending on how they’re made, composted,” said Jen Keane, Modern Synthesis Co-Founder.
