Material Innovation Initiative — Plant-Based Fashion Alternatives (2022)

[Alternatives to Animal Products] Open Philanthropy recommended a grant of $600,000 over two years to the Material Innovation Initiative (MII) to support their work on plant-based alternatives to silk and fur. MII conducts scientific research on plant-based materials, and promotes them by supporting the plant-based material industry and by partnering with fashion companies. This follows our November 2020 support and falls within our focus area of farm animal welfare.
