Bucha Bio: Bacterial Derived Textile with Zimri Hinshaw
Description
NO Polyurethane, No Textile, No Leather: BUCHA BIO
How to make a material from Bacterial Nanocellulose textile from Kombucha Tea?
Zimri T. Hinshaw / ヒンシャ•ジムリ/ 金木栎 (小金) CEO of BUCHA BIO tells and shows us how he made it.
It is a brand new material we have never seen before.
Zimri founded Bucha Bio Inc. in New York 3 years ago and now they are ready to scale up production of MIRAI™ their luxury #Biotextile with a lot of energy from a 22 years old.
What makes him different and unique is that he doesn't accept compromise and he promised us to do not use Polyurethane (#plastic) in his material
He also uses only #plant-based dyes from Spira Inc. that allows to follow the fashion trend of coloration without an impact in the environment.
Is it ready for production?
They're moving into a pilot production facility in December, but Zimri has raised $550K in funds to move forward with production, garnering interest from several major fashion brands worldwide.
Thank you for sharing your project and good luck Zimri
