The Furry Project, the first of its type in Asia, is a network that incorporates technology into their business model to crowdsource raw materials from donors, such as pet owners, groomers and breeders, and collaborate with sustainable textile production houses to offer a zero-waste, 100% biodegradable and commercially feasible choices for the textile industry and promote real circular fashion.
The project is currently supported by HKSTP and CityU HK Tech 300 and is seeking for additional support for R&D and to scale up the business. In addition to textiles, The Furry Project is exploring other potential uses of natural fibre.
