Bezos Earth Fund Commits $34 Million to Sustainable Textile Research

Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez have committed $34 million through the Bezos Earth Fund to accelerate sustainable textile development, funding research at Columbia University, UC Berkeley, Clemson University, and Cotton Foundation-linked organizations. The initiative targets alternatives to petroleum-based polyester and viscose, exploring bacteria, agricultural waste, and bio-based fibres. While the fashion industry accounts for significant global emissions, scaling sustainable textiles remains challenging due to production costs and slow brand adoption. The fund expects innovations to reach the market within 3-5 years.
