Vegan silk, also known as “peace silk” or “ahimsa silk”, is a type of silk that is made without harming or killing the silk moth during the silk production process. In traditional silk production, silk moths are killed by boiling or suffocation in order to obtain the silk fibers from their cocoons. However, with vegan silk, the cocoons are allowed to naturally open and the silk fibers are harvested without harming the moth.
Vegan silk is often made from other types of silk-producing insects, such as Eri or Tussah silk, or from plant-based materials like bamboo, soy, or even banana fibers. It provides an alternative to traditional silk production that is more ethical and sustainable, as it avoids the cruelty associated with traditional silk production while also reducing the environmental impact of silk production.
There are many different vegan silk materials on the market, including artificial materials like polyester that simulate the look and feel of classic silk as well as plant-based fibers like bamboo, soy, and eucalyptus. Some vegan silk textiles are also created using recycled components, which minimizes waste and encourages sustainability.
Customers who are concerned about animal welfare and the environmental effects of conventional silk manufacturing are the ones driving the market for vegan silk. Even while the vegan silk market is currently quite tiny, it is expanding as more.
The Global Vegan Silk Market accounted for $XX Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2023 to 2030.
The creator of biotech-based vegan silk, AMSilk, has announced a partnership with BRAIN Biotech, a pioneer in creating and producing biobased goods and solutions, to create high-performance vegan fibres for clothing and other uses.
According to AMSilk, its collaboration with BRAIN Biotech will make use of its expertise to maximise particular structural protein features required for the development of a new category of resistant fibres.
AMSilk’s spider silk coverings can lessen post-operative problems and also avoid inflammation. The business is particularly well renowned for their biodegradable, synthetic spider silk shoe collaboration with Adidas.
