With Microfiber Innovation Challenge We’re awarding $650,000 to winning innovations addressing microfiber pollution.
We’re 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.
Conservation X Labs is searching for innovations in the following categories:

2.
Develop improved textile manufacturing processes (e.g. weaving, treatments)
to decrease microfiber shedding.
Given the recent demand for materials to repel and/or kill viruses like Covid-19, materials with demonstrated antiviral properties are of significant interest.
