Evolved By Nature believes that leather has the potential to be one of the most sustainable materials used by the fashion industry. It is long lasting, and potentially biodegradable and compostable. But, to help leather reach its full potential, we need to reduce its reliance on fossil fuel derived petrochemistry, the company says.
In this free webinar, Dr Altman will explain how biotechnology companies can help here. Biotechnology has always been preoccupied with health as a starting place and, with the proper focus, biotech scientists can help develop sustainable chemicals that can create truly sustainable and circular leather that will advance the health of people and the planet.
About Dr Gregory Altman
After co-founding Evolved By Nature, Dr Gregory Altman’s extensive research into silk biocompatibility on skin quickly lead to product innovations for leather, and then for textiles. He will expound on this expert perspective to enlighten webinar attendees on the benefits of bringing together these two industries.
Following Dr Altman’s presentation there will be a live Q&A, led by ILM Content Director Martin Ricker, where registered attendees can ask questions about how biotechnology can support the leather manufacturing process to create more sustainable products.
