Swedish clothing company H&M Move has teamed up with carbon capture firm LanzaTech to produce clothing that is made partially from emissions that have been captured and infused with the company’s own DryMove technology, a patented material that wicks moisture away from the skin to keep Movers dry and comfortable while they move.
The three-piece women’s collection from H&M Move consists of a jumpsuit, a shirt, and a pair of tights partially constructed from LanzaTech CarbonSmart polyester with a DryMove finish. According to a press release from H&M Move, the sophisticated, all-black clothing is inspired by the modern luxury trend and has contrasting seams and clever cut-outs.
LanzaTech uses three easy procedures to collect carbon emissions from steel mills, confine them in bioreactors, and transform them into the same building blocks used to make regular polyester. This ground-breaking approach lowers the consumption of virgin fossil fuels needed to produce new products while reducing pollution.
We are excited to offer our consumers a capsule collection of CarbonSmart polyester, a revolutionary material made from recycled carbon emissions, in partnership with LanzaTech. By working together, H&M Move can investigate cutting-edge materials and contribute to the future development of more environmentally friendly sportswear, according to Simon Brown, general manager of H&M Move.
“Today’s textile industry advances center on sustainability for a better society. According to Jennifer Holmgren, CEO of LanzaTech, “We are thrilled to join with H&M Move on this drop, highlighting ways to rethink how we manufacture and experience our apparel.
