Textile production is inherently unsustainable, due to its environmentally-damaging intensieve production processes. The industry pumps 2bn metric tons of carbon into the atmosphere every year \[The-Revelator-2020\]. The UK will not achieve its Net Zero targets without reducing the impact of textile manufacturing. Natural fibres like goose-down are commonly used for their insulation qualities. However, while the rapid growth of vegan behaviours is prompting brands to use alternatives, the commercially available option, polyester, is the single largest contributor to microplastic production. Today's textiles are not fit for the future: sustainable, biodegradable and ethical alternatives must be scaled into industry to prevent catastrophic environmental damage. SaltyCo's biomaterial filler (BioPuff Wadding / "BPW") is a planet-positive alternative that regenerates damaged peatlands. Peatlands are enormous carbon sinks, delivering secondary benefits. Our first product, BioPuff, is a plant-based, organic loose fill alternative to goose-down or synthetic fillers. Over 90% of brands who tested BioPuff expressed a preference for organic fibrefill in the form of wadding; a padded, non-woven fabric that can be cut into various lengths. This feedback has informed the development of BioPuff Wadding (BPW), which uses exceptionally efficient and environmentally sustainable production processes to deliver natural, high-performance material properties. The material is lightweight, 3x more insulating than wool and completely water-repellent. Delivered by SaltyCo, this project will include industrial trials of BPW with textile brands. We will integrate BPW with brand technologies to test its manufacturability and scalability in line with demand.

纺织品生产本质上是不可持续的，这是由于其环境破坏的增强生产过程。该行业每年将大量的碳泵送到大气中\ [Reverator-2020 \]。英国不会在不减少纺织品制造的影响的情况下实现其净零目标。像鹅一样的天然纤维通常用于其绝缘品质。但是，虽然素食行为的快速增长正在促使品牌使用替代品，但市售的选项Polyester是微塑料生产的最大贡献者。当今的纺织品不适合未来：可持续，可生物降解和道德的替代方案必须缩放到行业中，以防止灾难性的环境破坏。 Saltyco的生物材料填充物（Biopuff Wadding /“ BPW”）是行星阳性的替代方案，可再生受损的泥炭地。泥炭地是巨大的碳水槽，可带来次要收益。我们的第一个产品Biopuff是一种基于植物的有机松散填充替代品，用于鹅或合成填充剂。测试Biopuff的品牌中，超过90％的品牌以涉水形式表达了有机纤维填充的偏爱；可以切成各个长度的填充，无编织的织物。该反馈已告知Biopuff Wadding（BPW）的发展，该涉水使用异常高效且具有环境可持续的生产过程来提供自然，高性能的材料。该材料轻巧，比羊毛更绝缘，完全耐水。该项目由Saltyco交付，包括BPW和纺织品牌的工业试验。我们将将BPW与品牌技术集成在一起，以测试其生产性和可伸缩性根据需求。
