Lululemon x ZymoChem
Athletic apparel brand Lululemon has announced a multi-year partnership with California-based biotechnology firm ZymoChem to advance the use of sustainable bio-based nylon in its products.
The next phase of the collaboration will focus on scaling ZymoChem’s technology to support the commercial production of bio-based nylon, Lululemon stated.
Yogendra Dandapure, Vice President of Raw Materials Innovation at Lululemon, highlighted the significance of this partnership, emphasizing that ZymoChem’s innovative technology can create a bio-based nylon that maintains the look, feel, and quality expected from lululemon’s high-performance products. He added that by working with forward-thinking companies like ZymoChem, Lululemon is actively expanding pathways toward sustainable material alternatives across its product lineup.
