- NEFFA — NEFFA The fashion industry is one of the most polluting in the world: the sector is responsible for 8 to 10% of global CO2 emissions and accounts for ~20% of industrial water contamination. Conventional materials such as cotton require an immense amount of resources, semi-finished products travel all over the globe for various steps in theproduction process, and overproduction is anchored in the fundaments of the business model of fashion brands.Through the NEFFA production method, design is done directly in 3D, offering an innovative way to rethink fashion design. A digital design interface offers options to apply all kinds of parametric textures in the blink of an eye. The final design is turned into an affordable and recyclable 3D mold with a variety of digital technologies. This is possible because the manufacturing method does not require any high heat or pressure so the molds can be like blisters. In the meantime, the biomass is grown in large fermentation tanks. NEFFA currently works with mycelium – creating a material called MycoTEX – but their system can also work with other biomaterials that can be grown through liquid fermentation, such as algae or even collagen.
