Episode Interview - Graham Stewart from Fiber52
Joining Gail on this episode is Graham Stewart, who is an international textile and apparel production fibre specialist.
For the past two years, Graham has developed and patented a more sustainable process to bleach and dye cotton called Fibre 52.
Fibre52 is an environmentally kind and cost-conscious process for dyeing cotton. It is a simple, inexpensive replacement for traditional and outdated cotton preparation methods. It uses natural products instead of heavy chemicals, working at lower temperatures, with less energy, less water, and a shorter processing time. This makes Fibre52 a wonderfully cost-effective, eco-conscious and sustainable bleach and dye process.
All this means that consumers will soon be offered a more natural and ecologically sound choice of fabric. With Fibre52, the natural cotton is stronger, recyclable and biodegradable, making it a natural replacement for plastic.
