Circular A2Z: The Mills Fabrica, and Modern Synthesis

The future of fashion and textiles isn’t just about trends—it’s about materials, innovation, and circularity. In today’s Circular A-Z series, we spotlight two pioneers revolutionizing the way fabrics are made: The Mills Fabrica and Modern Synthesis.

Modern Synthesis 🧫 – 𝘎𝘳𝘰𝘸𝘯, 𝘕𝘰𝘵 𝘞𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘯

Imagine a world where fabrics aren’t woven but grown! 🧵🌿 UK-based 🇬🇧 Modern Synthesis is pioneering microbial textile production, using bacteria to grow plant-based fabrics that could replace leather and synthetics.

➖ Bio-based materials: Uses bacterial nanocellulose instead of resource-intensive textiles.

➖ Low-impact production: No need for fossil fuels or toxic chemicals.

➖ Designed for circularity: Compostable and biodegradable, reducing fashion’s footprint.



Fashion is one of the most wasteful industries—but companies like The Mills Fabrica and Modern Synthesis show that with innovation and circular thinking, we can reshape its future.
