Artificial meat is already a big topic in the economy for quite some time. But what if we would say that artificial fur could become the next big thing in the fashion industry? Our second episode features keynotes from Constantine Singer, the Textile Technology Manager of Oceansafe, and Maria Zakurnaeva, the cofounder of Furoid. These two innovative textiles could change the future of fashion, with positive impact alternatives to polyester and fur. Constantine Singer presents a completely biodegradable polyester alternative and an interesting circular organic fiber. Furoid, our second topic, takes on an equally harmful material as polyester: fur. Furoid is doing something never seen before: fur that is grown in a lab, using genetic engineering to produce ‘real’ protein-based fibers, sans animal. Maria Zakurnaeva founded Furoid out of a joint passion for chemistry, fashion, and animal rights.

Our first episode features the 202030 – The Berlin Fashion Summit’s opening speech from Prof. Dr. Michael Braungardt, who is known as the ‘godfather of Cradle to Cradle.’ Prof. Dr. Braungardt is originally a chemist, and turned his focus to the textile industry when he invented the Cradle to Cradle concept, in which all materials are designed to be kept in a continuous loop, through either a biological cycle or technical cycle. In his keynote address, Prof. Dr. Braungardt delivers his wry – yet ultimately optimistic – take on the current state of human impact and the fashion industry.
Our hosts, Max and Magdalena, provide commentary and context for this excerpt from the first day of 202030 – The Berlin Fashion Summit, bringing their own expertise to the conversation. The introduction to Prof. Dr. Michael Braungart is given by Tsellot Melesse, the host of Edition #4.

The podcast hosts, Max and Magdalena, kick off the series and paint a picture of what to expect as we travel back to the content from Edition #4 of 202030 – The Berlin Fashion Summit. How do we define sustainability, circularity, regenerativity, and positive impact? What defines a sustainable product?
The roster of speakers presents regenerativity in fashion as a holistic puzzle, which includes the environment, technology, culture, data usage, business models, and the horizons in the metaverse. Young innovators and seasoned experts alike give their input on how fashion can make a positive impact on people and the planet alike. The United Nations defines 2020 to 2030 as the Decade of Action, the time in which we all must meet critical environmental and climate change goals to ensure a healthy and viable future, and 202030 – The Berlin Fashion Summit creates an assembly to discuss our next steps forward. Tune in to this podcast every two weeks, so that even if you missed the summit, you can learn from this bold community of change-makers.
