Vollebak Black Algae Hoodie and Sweatpants
From the ink in our pens to the cases on our phones, the color black is everywhere. Although the shade never goes out of style, the way it's made is outdated. The dark hue comes from carbon black, a pigment from petroleum. So Vollebak went on the hunt for a new sustainable black that doesn't wreck the planet. The innovative company worked with a US biomaterials startup to create a hoodie and sweatpants using black algae grown in giant ponds. The microscopic organism is then printed onto hemp, a material sourced from the Himalayas in northern India, from a corporative of 500 farmers aiming to create a sustainable industry in sustainable fabrics. Water repellent, antibacterial, and UV resistant, the Hemp and Black Algae Hoodie and Sweatpants get more comfortable with every wear.
