Exclusively for Museum Week 2021, the Fashion for Good Museum gives you a free sneak peek of the new GROW exhibition that explores the fascinating world of biomaterials in fashion. Every day at 1 p.m. (CEST) an experienced guide is ready to give you a virtual tour through the museum.
WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT?
Fruit skin fabric, mushroom ‘leather’, spider-silk, dye made by bacteria and algae, the Fashion for Good Museum in Amsterdam explores the biomaterials and cutting-edge innovations that are shaping the sustainable future of fashion. What exactly are biomaterials? How sustainable are they and what makes them different from traditional fibres like cotton and hemp? And does bio always mean better and sustainable? All this and more will be answered in this exciting tour!
During the tour there will be a quiz and afterwards there will be enough time to ask any questions!

Today, Fashion for Good launches the Sorting for Circularity USA Project, a new initiative focused on the North-American textile-to-textile recycling market that will provide the most representative snapshot of textile waste composition generated in the United States. This effort is crucial to understanding and evaluating the business case for textile-to-textile recycling, ensuring that used textiles move to their best and highest end use. The results of this 18-month project will inform decisions to unlock necessary investments and actions to scale collection, sorting and recycling innovations.
