Pharrell Williams + His Latest Foremost Project, Bionic Yarn

If you’re an admirer of Pharrell Williams, then you should be up to date with his latest foremost project, Bionic Yarn. This is Pharrell’s most recent collaboration with Moncler using recycled goods to construct a high-tech sports aesthetic and attire. Naturally these two were drawn to the innovative project driven by technology and style. After evaluating what they could possibly do with this product, the step to get involved in the green business was utterly genuine. With Pharrell’s unmistakable fan base and his success with his two other clothing lines – Billionaire Boys Club and Ice Cream sold in limited quantities, his energy put forth into this product will not be forsaken.The process for making this yarn as stated on their web blog is done so by chopping a used plastic bottle into “flakes”, from there the flakes are melted and the melted material is turned into two-inch fibers. These fibers are spun together with high tenacity polyester to create a “core yarn” – the corn yarn is then helixed with other fibers (ie: nylon, lycra, cotton) thus concluding the brilliant product, Bionic Yarn.

Bionic Yarn made from plastic bottles

Pharrell and Moncler do not own Bionic Yarn. It is a product that is developed, patented, and owned by Return Textiles LLC. Pharrell however is the brand ambassador and investor/partner. This revolutionary fabric made with recycled plastic bottles was founded by two New York natives, Tim Coombs and Tyson Toussant.
