What I want to biomanufacture and why I want to make bacterial cellulose that can be used as a leather-like material for fashion products, especially handbags and accessories.&#10;Traditional leather has a big environmental cost, and many synthetic alternatives are made from plastic. Bacterial cellulose is grown by bacteria, can be produced from plant-based sugars, and can be processed into a soft, strong, and flexible material. I’m interested in this because it combines sustainability with real product potential in fashion and design.</description><generator>Hugo</generator><language>en</language><atom:link href="https://pages.htgaa.org/2026b/bushra-faryad/week-01-hw-project-ideas/index.xml" rel="self" type="application/rss+xml"/></channel></rss>
