A team of scientists is working to reduce CO2 emissions by harnessing the gas as a raw material to produce sustainable, degradable polymers or plastics as a potential alternative to traditional petroleum-based plastic.
Researchers from Donghua University have developed a new layered interactive and luminous textile that can remotely control electronic products wirelessly by generating unique signals.
Well, you now have a leather alternative that dyes itself! Researchers at the Imperial College London have created the sustainable, self-dyeing leather alternative by modifying the genes of a bacteria species that produces a strong, flexible and malleable material.
Researchers at Singapore's Nanyang Technological University have successfully fabricated hair-thin, defect-free fibres spanning 100 metres, which can be woven into fabrics, turning them into smart wearable electronics.
Researchers from the MIT Self-Assembly Lab have developed a 4D knit dress that promises to be more sustainable than traditional fashion to both the consumer and the producer.
A team of researcher's at Lund University in Sweden have devised a technique whereby viscose can be created from used cotton textiles. This new process can save a lot of forest resources, and is also rather inexpensive.
Researchers at the Bangladesh University of Textiles, Dhaka, have found an alternative and sustainable source of cellulase enzymes from sugarcane bagasse waste to use in textile biopolishing applications.
Researchers at the RMIT University in Australia have used nanodiamonds to create smart textiles that can cool people down faster through a method called electrospinning.
A Hong Kong researcher shows how textile waste can be reused as thermal insulation for sustainable buildings as an effective green technology that synergistically combines two crucial components in achieving carbon neutrality: textile waste recycling and building energy saving.
