Sorona® and WGSN Announce Key Bio-Based Material Trends for 2027
Covation Biomaterials' Sorona® polymer and trend forecasting firm WGSN have outlined key bio-based material trends expected to shape the fashion industry in 2027.
Sorona®, a partially bio-based polymer from Covation Biomaterials, has partnered with trend forecasting company WGSN to identify the most significant bio-based material trends for 2027. The joint report anticipates these materials will substantially influence the future of fashion, impacting both athleisure and luxury ready-to-wear segments.
The analysis highlights a growing consumer and industry demand for sustainable alternatives, pushing the adoption of materials derived from renewable resources. Sorona, made partly from plant-based ingredients, offers manufacturers desirable properties such as flexibility, softness, and durability, while contributing to a reduced environmental footprint compared to traditional petroleum-based polymers.
This trend signifies a broader shift within the fashion industry away from sole reliance on fossil fuels. Bio-based materials are increasingly moving from niche applications to becoming integral components across the apparel spectrum, aligning with global sustainability goals.
Covation Biomaterials continues its commitment to advancing bio-based solutions, aiming to provide the industry with materials that meet both performance and environmental criteria. The collaboration with WGSN serves to guide manufacturers and designers toward more responsible material choices.
