The sustainable clothing of the future has arrived. And it looks, feels, and costs exactly like what you're used to.
The apparel industry creates billions of resource-intensive garments each year, almost all of which ends up in our environment forever. People want to make sustainable choices, but it is difficult to find affordable eco-friendly apparel options.
The only path forward is a new material that does not compromise.
Sci-Lume Labs is changing that with Bylon®, an affordable circular material that does not compromise. Made from renewable agricultural waste—not oil—Bylon closes the fashion sustainability loop by making earth-digestible and 100% recyclable clothing accessible to everyone. With Bylon, you can be confident you're reducing your environmental impact without compromising on quality, budget, or style.
