This is an important development, since the apparel industry is the second largest polluter of any industry.

Yeast genetically engineered with spider DNA produce silk proteins the company then turns into silk strands.

The silk can then be woven into material to be sewn into clothing. Their second product, Mylo, is a synthetic leather derived from mushroom mycelia.
