Based on my findings, I would like to suggest a simplification of the fabric manufacturing process. It is not necessary to process the natural fibers into threads and weave the threads into the actual fabric.

​

Pouring the bioplastic on the fibers create a sturdy material.

​

Since the bioplastic can be made water-resistant, it is possible to use the resulting fabric for various products such as raincoats and tents.

​

I am also reflecting on our preconceptions regarding ownership of durable, long-lasting products: We no longer need products that last a lifetime, ones that can even be passed down to future generations. Instead, this temporal framework is more concerned with sustainable development.

​

My idea is based on the notion of Blue Economy – having served its purpose, the organic product can be buried in the soil and provide nutrition for the growth of new organisms.

​

Normally, it takes about 7 years for the bioplastic to degrade, but its properties can be modified so as to speed up the degradability.
