*Excerpt from Goldwin website Brewed Protein(TM)️Material Spiber’s Brewed Protein(TM)️ material is produced through a microbial fermentation process using plant-based biomass as raw material and can be used in a variety of applications. Brewed Protein(TM)️ fiber, which is made by spinning a Brewed Protein(TM)️ polymer, is a filament yarn with the luster and delicacy of silk, as well as high-quality cashmere with a smooth texture and wool with excellent bulk. It can also be processed into spun yarn. As the scale of production of this fiber expands, it will be used in textile applications for the apparel industry, which is Spiber’s initial focus field.For example, it will be compared with cashmere fiber, which is high-quality animal hair but has been pointed out to have various environmental risks. In addition, the Brewed Protein(TM) material itself is biodegradable, so depending on the design of the final product, it can significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions and reduce land and water usage. It is expected to contribute to solving the problem of microplastic emissions from products, and is expected to be a next-generation material that can provide solutions in place of conventional animal-derived, plant-derived, and synthetic materials. Background of joint development between Spiber and Goldwin Most sports apparel uses synthetic molecular materials (such as polyester and nylon) made from petroleum, and the impact on the natural environment due to the release of microplastics from the final product is an issue. As a countermeasure to environmental issues and in light of concerns over the depletion of oil, it is a major responsibility of those of us living in modern society to switch to sustainable resources. In order to tackle these global environmental issues, we have been
collaborating with Spiber to research “structural protein materials” since 2015, and in the fall of 2015 we launched an outdoor jacket using structural protein materials that imitate natural spider silk. announced the prototype. Over the next four years, we continued to improve the material, and in 2019, Spiber released T-shirts and outdoor jackets using Brewed Protein(TM) fiber, a newly developed structural protein material in response to issues and product quality requirements. Released by “The North Face” only in Japan. Since then, we have also released a variety of apparel products such as knits and fleece. Spiber Co., Ltd. (Director and Representative Executive Officer: Kazuhide Sekiyama, Head Office: 234-1 Minakami, Kakuganji, Tsuruoka City, Yamagata Prefecture) A bioventure based in Tsuruoka City, Yamagata Prefecture, founded in September 2007 that develops structural protein “Brewed Protein (TM) materials.” Currently, we have begun producing Brewed Protein(TM) polymer at Spiber’s first mass production plant in Rayong Province, Thailand, and plan to gradually expand production volume. We are also preparing to launch mass production facilities in Iowa, USA. Spiber website:
