Piping Hot Australia and the University of Technology developing seaweed-based fiber

In Australia, Australian brand Piping Hot Australia and the University of Technology Sydney (UTS) announced their research partnership to develop a sustainable fiber made from seaweed. Piping Hot has commissioned this innovative biomaterial research as a vital investment in its mission for clean oceans.

Commencing in February 2022, UTS climate scientists began building a prototype fiber developed in response to Piping Hot’s ambition to protect oceans for future generations. The biobased solution will sequester carbon from the ocean and reduce the environmental impact of synthetic fibers.
