No petrochemical or plastic, as well as completely animal free. Hi, I'm Jen Keen. I'm the co-founder and CEO of Modern Cythesis, and we're a linen based biotech company bringing new materials to life by bringing life, that is, biology, and our understanding of the living world around us to materials. And this is our recent collaboration with fashion brand, Ghani, where we reimagined their iconic boo bag in our materials that we created with bacteria. And every aspect of the outside this bag you see, including the handle and this body fabric is made of different versions of our material technology, which is super exciting and the versatility that we can now offer in materials that are completely natural with no petrochemical or plastic as well as completely animal free.
