24/7 Market News: Kraig Labs Offers Safer, Natural Alternative to Health Risks from Nylon and Polyester Clothing
DENVER, Sept. 26, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- , a pioneer in digital media dedicated to the swift distribution of financial market news and information, reports that Kraig Biocraft Laboratories’ (OTCQB: KBLB), the undisputed global leader in the development and commercialization of spider silk, spider silk will be set to play a crucial role in the emerging public health concerns linked to everyday wear of nylon and polyester apparel, both of which are petroleum-based plastics known to release toxic microplastic particles into human environments and probably directly into human bodies.
Microplastics from Clothing: A Growing Public Health Concern
Recent studies show that plastic-based clothing sheds billions of microplastic fibers not just into the environment, but into the air and indoor spaces where people breathe them in. These tiny fibers are now being detected in:
- Human lungs and bloodstreams
- Placenta and breast milk samples
- Indoor dust, including in children’s bedrooms and classrooms
People wear nylon and polyester daily, unaware that their clothing could be releasing invisible plastic particles directly onto their skin or into the air they breathe. Spider silk offers a safer, biodegradable alternative made from natural proteins, not “fossil fuels.”
Spider Silk Apparel: Plastic-Free, Skin-Friendly Innovation
Kraig’s spider silk, bioengineered from silkworms, avoids the toxic load and shedding behavior of plastic-based fibers. Key advantages include:
- No microplastic shedding — naturally non-toxic and protein-based
- Breathable and skin-compatible — ideal for next-to-skin garments, including athletic wear
- Safe material lifecycle — avoids petroleum-based sourcing and harmful chemical finishes
- Biocompatible— could become futuristic sutures and address other healthcare issues
As part of its commercialization strategy, Kraig Labs is preparing to deliver spider silk textile samples to two previously announced apparel brands. The company believes spider silk could play a transformative role in health-conscious and eco-conscious fashion markets, especially as regulatory and consumer attention turns to “silent pollution” from textiles.
