IF_synthetic fibres are inevitable
The word synthetic carries guilt. Before deciding, we want to understand what it is, what it does, and where it is genuinely useful.
Why we ask
Synthetics are not going away. We think the better question is how to use them with intention.
We also want to challenge the idea that natural always equals good, and synthetic always equals bad.
What we're looking into
- 01What synthetic fibres actually are and where they come from
- 02Where they outperform natural fibres — performance, longevity, function
- 03The microplastic and waste questions, plainly stated
- 04Recycling, biodegradability, and the innovations that might change the picture
