SYDNEY, Feb. 22, 2022 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --
Australian brand Piping Hot Australia and the University of Technology Sydney
(UTS) announced today their research partnership to develop a sustainable fibre
made from seaweed. Piping Hot has commissioned this innovative biomaterial
research as a vital investment in its mission for clean oceans.
Commencing in February 2022, UTS climate scientists will be building a
prototype fibre developed in response to Piping Hot's ambition to protect
oceans for future generations. The biobased solution will sequester carbon from
the ocean and reduce the environmental impact of synthetic fibres.
This Australian innovation could transform the global polyester industry.

Peter Ralph and the UTS Climate Change Cluster. As part of Piping Hot's mission
to defend the oceans, our purpose-led investment into marine biotechnology and

project. The UTS Climate Change Cluster and Piping Hot are equally committed
to a more sustainable future for our planet, and the development of sustainably
