The Flotilla Foundation, The Arthur Vining Davis Foundations, and Conservation X Labs are powering the Microfiber Innovation Challenge.

Conservation X Labs is calling on everyone. We need scientists, engineers, marketers, biologists, makers, artists, and everyone else who cares about our planet’s future to use their unique skills to help us solve the microfiber challenge. They are awarding $650,000 to transformative innovations addressing plastic microfiber pollution in the following categories:

1. Replace textiles that are sources of plastic microfibers with alternatives designed for non-toxic biodegradation in natural environments.

2. Prevent - Develop improved textile manufacturing processes (e.g. weaving, treatments) to decrease microfiber shedding.
