After her masters, she continued her studies at Fabricademy, textile and technology academy postgraduate (FabLab Barcelona) where she learnt how to use new technologies, biology and digital fabrication (3D design, rapid prototyping, electronics) for sustainable textile design. During her final postgraduate project, she did her thesis on the biodegradation and recycling of textile waste by mycelium, using very low means and low energy to grow.
The Purhyphae Project: textile recycling using mycelium<\/strong><\/em>
This project investigates ways to produce flexible mycelium materials through the biodegradation of various combinations of denim textile waste, synthetic textile waste, food waste and spent coffee grounds. The mycelium used was from the Pleurotus ostreatus (oyster) fungi. The results show that P. ostreatus (oyster) mycelium grows on all the combinations of food waste (vegetable peels and coffee grounds) with textile waste (synthetic textile and denim textile), and even grows on denim textile waste only.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Petra Garajov\u00e1 is a Slovak designer exploring the boundaries of material science, digital manufacturing and innovation currently. Her final project defines a new value of wool waste and reshapes the position of the designer in material innovation. Thanks to this opportunity she is now part of Shemakes.eu European project as an Ambassador between Fab Lab Barcelona and TextileLab Iceland working on the Lab to Lab project – Rethinking Wool.
States of Matter \u2013 Wool fibers and non-traditional methods<\/strong><\/em>
The project investigates chemical properties of wool waste. It defines a new value of wool using current technologies and design. The material research is focused on extraction of keratin and the usage of sustainable chemicals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
As an experienced innovation manager and communicator Chanawan (Kao) Danpan is originally from Bangkok\/Thailand. Her passion is bridging the gap between traditional business and the circular economy through cross-sectional collaboration.
Flower Matter – Enable a circularity into the cut-flower industry through regenerative bio-based materials<\/strong><\/em>
Flaux is an innovative textile material produced from flower waste resulting from a research project called \u2018Flower Matter\u2019 which is ongoing research of ways to sustainably valorize flower waste. The research of Flaux resulted in 2 higher academic research projects under 2 EU institutions (Germany and Finland) from design and management perspectives. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
