Lululemon is launching a t-shirt made from plant-based nylon, part of the activewear company's commitment to making its business completely sustainable by 2030.
The company on Tuesday announced the renewably sourced products for men and women, made in partnership with sustainable materials firm Genomatica. Together, the companies used biotechnology and fermentation to convert plant-based ingredients into the building blocks that make up nylon.
Nylon is typically produced using petroleum from coal, natural gas or crude oil, fossil fuels known to worsen global warming. Lululemon's new shirts will instead be produced with biological-based microorganisms.
