On International Women's Equality Day, let's celebrate together the incredible achievements of women worldwide and reaffirm our commitment to gender equality. 🎉 Founded by a woman, we understand the importance of investing in women. Investing in women means investing in families, communities, and the future. It's a powerful force that drives progress and innovation. Today, we honor scientists like Sonia Guimarães and Ada Lovelace, as well as Cida and Talita Ayres from Rancho Ayres, who are making significant contributions to our future through their work with seaweed and their leadership within the community in Paraty, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. At Phycolabs, we are proud to call these inspiring women our friends. Together, we can create a more equitable world. Be the change! 💪 #womensequalityday #GenderEquality #WomenInScience #EmpowerHer

Creating regenerative fashion with seaweed threads, where biotech innovation meets sustainability.
Sobre nós
We believe fashion can be a force for good. Based in Brazil, we leverage the power of seaweed to create innovative and eco-friendly threads. By exclusively using sustainable seaweed in our fibers, we're redefining fashion as a regenerative force rather than a polluting one. We focus on fast-growing seaweed species to develop high-quality biofibers that are gentle on the planet. Our commitment extends beyond the material itself. We're driving industry transformation through innovative processes and research, consistently prioritizing ethical practices and transparency across our supply chain. Together, let’s create a future where style and conscience harmonize seamlessly. Join us in creating a regenerative fashion revolution. #FromOceanToOutfit

Time to detox your wardrobe! 🚫 Your closet might be a bigger polluter than you realize. Tiny plastic particles are breaking off from your synthetic clothes and making their way into our bodies and the environment. Every year, these clothes could lead us to ingest thousands of microplastics. According to Our World in Data and Knowable Magazine, plastic pollution has become a global crisis. Since the invention of the first synthetic plastic, Bakelite, in 1907, plastic production has skyrocketed. Since the 1950s, plastic production has increased 230-fold - from just 2 million tonnes in 1950 to 460 million tonnes in 2019. In fact, production has doubled in just the last 20 years. Shockingly, 40% of all plastic is made for single-use packaging, and much of it ends up polluting our oceans. Marine scientist Imogen Napper’s research shows that washing synthetic fibers like polyester releases microplastics into the environment, significantly contributing to ocean pollution. In fact, synthetic fibers are responsible for up to 35% of all microplastic pollution in the ocean. 🌊 It’s time to make conscious choices. Raising awareness about this issue and encouraging others to join the movement towards a cleaner planet is essential.

Last weekend, we participated in the y-Human Conference at Y-Hack (part of Mil workshops) in São Paulo. The theme, "The Science Behind Materials: The Future of Next-Generation Fabrics for a Regenerative World," resonates deeply with our goal for a more sustainable textile industry. ✨ Aiming to develop innovative, sustainable, and regenerative open-source solutions for the textile supply chain, y-Hack: Fashion, People, & Planet brought together students and professionals from the fields of fashion, web3 technology, and blockchain. Having such a diverse group of minds was very inspiring! We connected with inspiring people like Ailton Pereira from AIPER, Marina Belintani from Mabe Bio and Junior Costa, moderated by Joy Pires Franco. A huge thanks to Paula kweyeun kim and Pedro Andrade for organizing such a valuable event! 👏 #YHackFashionPeoplePlanet #TecidosDoFuturo #Phycolabs #fashion
