Summary

Hyphyn, a new materials brand, has launched what it claims is the world's first biodegradable performance vinyl fabric. The material is impregnated with plastic-eating enzymes that enable it to break down over 90% within two years in landfill conditions without leaving behind microplastics or toxic chemicals. Made by US vinyl manufacturer Nassimi, the Hyphyn material decomposes almost twice as much as traditional vinyl under ideal conditions, representing a significant advancement in sustainable materials technology.
