Hinshaw / ヒンシャ•ジムリ/ 金木栎 (小金) CEO of BUCHA BIO tells and shows us how he made it. It is a brand new material we have never seen before. Zimri founded Bucha Bio Inc. in New York 3 years ago and now they are ready to scale up production of MIRAI™ their luxury #Biotextile with a lot of energy from a 22 years old. What makes him different and unique is that he doesn't accept compromise and he promised us to do not use Polyurethane (#plastic) in his material He also uses only #plant-based dyes from Spira Inc. that allows to follow the fashion trend of coloration without an impact in the environment.
