DEW
Living textile made of algae
Dew is the world's first living, photosynthetic microfiber, made of 100% organic, biodegradable materials that incorporate microalgae. Designed for applications like sportswear, it absorbs CO2 and water vapor from the skin and environment, producing oxygen. At the end of its life cycle, Dew can be fully reused as a natural fertilizer, supporting circular agriculture and preventing waste.
