petra's Vision
Petra firmly believes that every action we take today can be made more environmentally friendly. This conviction drives her to innovate, leading her to replace traditional materials with her own biomaterials derived from algae. This groundbreaking development is not only a testament to her commitment but also a significant aspect of her doctoral studies in the field of Ecotechnologies.
Consistently, Petra strives to enhance her materials, ensuring they possess improved properties without sacrificing aesthetics. She firmly believes that new sustainable solutions should not only preserve but also enable us to express ourselves just as effectively as traditional materials.
biomaterial
Due to the ecological and health risks associated with traditional clothing materials, Vivre has developed its own biomaterial. This innovative material is made from algae, consisting of 100% natural, non-toxic ingredients. While it possesses plastic-like properties, it remains breathable. Additionally, it is easily recyclable and biodegradable.
At Vivre, we believe that materials can serve multiple functions, offering benefits to both our physical and mental health.
