“…For example, Liu et al propose the application of Seaweed Fabric in the field of clothing for the elderly. This means that it will be possible to effectively alleviate the pollution problem in the textile and clothing industry [6]. Kazancoglu et al mention that recycling challenges in the apparel industry include the collection, sorting, and restoration of textiles [7].…”

Biodegradable fibers have the advantage of sustainable development from the source. Realizing the sustainable development of the whole life cycle of clothing is the future trend. Nowadays, with increasingly high requirements for an ecological environment, the development of biodegradable fiber will become the mainstream of fiber research and development. However, there are many barriers preventing the total degradation of biodegradable fabrics. This paper explores recycling barriers of biodegradable textiles in the clothing industry, discusses the recycling barriers from four aspects: technical, economic, environmental and social, and analyzes the development direction of biodegradable fabric recycling in the future and puts forward some suggestions, including developing advanced biodegradable fabric recycling technologies; creating economic models conducive to recycling; providing suitable degradation sites; strengthening institutional cooperation and improving consumer recycling behavior. This paper is conducive to promoting the development and application of biodegradable textile in clothing industry, and proposes further research for the widespread and high-quality use of biodegradable fabrics.

“…During the 21st century, the research of new materials for fashion is particularly active and has produced important results, thanks to increasing investments in research and development [1,80]. Among bio-fabricated textiles, seaweeds are gaining an increasingly prominent place, thanks in part to the development of textile technologies in the 1990s that analysed their properties and benefits for the body [2]. The paper analyses this phenomenon not only as an example of biotechnological innovation in the field of sustainability, but also as a producer of new imagery and activator of new dynamics in fashion design.…”

The essay addresses the reasons why fashion design is manifesting an increasing interest in the marine environment as a context where to identify new materials for fashion, focusing on the particular case of seaweed. Through a field research, which involved MA fashion students at Università Iuav di Venezia, it is possible to demonstrate how an object such as seaweed fabric is not only a response to the need for new sustainable materials for fashion, but it is also interpretable through the framework of new materialism in a posthuman perspective. These fabrics, perceived as vibrant, represent a stimulus to redefine fashion design and its relations with environment, territories, people, and bodies. In the experimentation with seaweed, nature becomes raw material for constructing aesthetic and cultural imagery in a multispecies landscape.

The global flows of cultivated seaweed were estimated for the year 2019 using a combination of literature review, assumptions, and simple conservation of mass calculations. Red seaweeds were found to be the largest contributors to the hydrocolloids industry, for both food and non‐food applications. Carrageenan‐containing species were found to be the largest contributors to both food (62%) and non‐food (55%) hydrocolloids and are the primary source for water gels, which make up 27% of non‐food hydrocolloids, followed by pet food (16%), toothpaste (6%), and others (6%). Carrageenan also accounts for almost all meat products, which make up 35% of the food hydrocolloid industry, and dairy products, which make up 26%. Agar‐containing seaweeds are used in confections (10% of food hydrocolloids), baking (9%), and other (2%) and make up 15% of non‐food hydrocolloids. Porphyra (nori) is cultivated for direct consumption and makes up 23% of direct food consumption. Cultivated brown seaweeds were found to comprise Laminaria/Saccharina for alginate production (30%), Laminaria/Saccharina for direct consumption (44%), and Undaria for direct consumption (16%). About half of the alginates produced make up 18% of food hydrocolloids, and the other half is used in non‐food hydrocolloids comprising technical grades (28% of non‐food) and animal feed (3%). The results are discussed in the context of emerging markets for seaweed and the potential for seaweeds as a substitute for staple foods, and the environmental impact of seaweed farming is explored through a review of life cycle assessment studies.
