Cranfield University researchers are working to develop a greener way to manufacture textiles
Cranfield University researchers are working with partners at the University of York to develop a greener way to manufacture textiles for clothing using biomass derived from crop waste.
The new process uses low environmental impact solvents to dissolve cellulose produced by bacteria from crop and household waste, such as food scraps and kitchen roll.
This creates a viscous honey-like solution which can then be spun into fibres to make eco-textiles that could be used for sustainable fashion.
