Week 1 HW: Principles and Practices
FINAL PROJECT - EXAMINING WOOL TO CREATE A BIOENGINEERED KERATIN FABRIC TO MIMIC ATTRIBUTES OF POLYESTER. GOVERNANCE POLICY GOALS ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION - through reduction in use of polyester based fibres for industries. ENHANCE BIOMATERIAL AWARENESS - through workshops and encouragement of use of biomaterials over traditional fabrics. TRANSPARENCY FOR CONSUMERS AND RESPONSIBLE BIOSECURITY PROTOCOLS - traceability fo bioloigcal inputs along with standardised definitions which are accessible to the consumers to make it appealing. END OF LIFE - ensuring that biofabrics don’t lead to further contamination of recycling streams. GOVERNANCE ACTIONS -PURPOSE - currently the gap between sythetic and natural fibres is wide and the ground reality is that at its core they both have their negatives. synthetic polyester based fibres relasye microplastics at every step of its production, while on the other hand natural fibres such as wool require large amounts of water and also constribute to global warming via methane release due to unsustaibale farming practices. the purpose remains to find a bridge between the two to combat consumption and production.
