Lab-Grown Cotton Enters The Market
Suzuran says it plans to use thousands of tons a year of Galy’s “Literally Cotton” fibers as part of a 10-year, $50 million partnership.

I’m so happy we’re transitioning away from using synthetic processes to create so many inferior synthetic compounds, and transitioning towards using synthetic processes to create tried and tested compounds we’ve been using and loving for millennia.
Synthetic isn't inherently bad just because some synthetic things are bad. Until we get more information on this thing, your snark is entirely baseless
I don't think meant that as snark at all tbh. They're saying they like that we're using synthetic processes to make biodegradable, useful, and known-safe materials in a more efficient way, as compared to making the usual synthetic cotton-alternative materials that have a lot of downsides by comparison (lack of biodegradability, poor breathability, microplastic pollution, etc). I think you two actually agree probably? Lots of synthetic things are bad or flawed, and it's nice to see this synthetic thing that is probably good.
Ah fair, apologies if I misread the tone
Common Beehaw W for good natured communications
Synthetic fibres are cool stuff, no doubt, but they also contribute to our whole microplastics problem, which isn't that cool, to be honest.
Oh I totally agree about that, we need to move away from the ubiquitous use of plastics that don't biodegrade in relatively short order
