*ANNOUNCEMENT* We’re excited to share our latest video showcasing ZERØTEC’s innovative CAD/CAM technology—designed to decarbonise the fashion supply chain and reduce material waste by up to 15%. Our approach could help suppliers cut up to 180,000 KGS of carbon annually while reducing costs. The future of fashion is not just about new materials—it’s about responsible and efficient design. The fashion industry is at a tipping point. Every year, 60 billion square meters of fabric are wasted in manufacture, enough to blanket Austria! The production of textiles not only leads to massive waste but also contributes significantly to water pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. This is a global challenge, and the time for sustainable solutions is now. At ZERØTEC, we’re passionate about leading the change towards circular design and sustainable production. This is more than a software solution; it’s a movement to revolutionise how the industry thinks about waste and environmental impact. Join us in reshaping the future of fashion with cutting-edge technology, sustainable practices, and a commitment to reducing our footprint on the planet. Follow for more updates!

Did you know textiles account for nearly 8% of all municipal waste? ATLAS researchers have developed a DIY process that might someday change the way we think about fabric. Co-developed across three ATLAS labs (Utility Research Lab, Unstable Design Lab & Living Matter Lab), the biofibers spinning machine creates textile fibers made of materials like sustainably-sourced gelatin that can be woven and worn without ever ending up in a landfill. “With this kind of prototyping machine, anyone can make fibers. You don’t need the big machines that are only in university chemistry departments,” explains Eldy Lazaro, lead researcher and ATLAS PhD student. Someday, dissolvable clothes made from such materials could redefine the term “fast fashion.”  Read more: https://lnkd.in/gFBjEzYc Utility Research Lab director: Michael Rivera Unstable Design Lab director: Laura Devendorf Living Matter Lab director: Mirela Alistar #biofibers #textiledesign #smarttextiles

We are excited to announce that our project in collaboration with Cassie Quinn  of CQ Studio. 🙌 has been selected as one the projects of the EU’s WORTH Partnership Project of the 3rd call. WORTH Partnership Project is funded by European Commission, EASME, under the Programme for the Competitiveness of Small and Medium-sized Enterprises aiming to encourage entrepreneurship, give access to financial funding, provide market exposure and create better framework conditions for competitiveness. Our aim is to develop an end-to-end process for manufacturing regenerative bio-skin, exploring the use of hemp fibers and agricultural waste streams to produce bio-skin sheets free of harmful chemicals, toxic dyes, plastics, and large amounts of water. 👩🔬 This collaboration is fundamental in demonstrating how next-generation materials can unite with traditional craftsmanship, ensuring that heritage techniques are not lost with the implementation of new technologies. We aim for this project to set a precedent for regenerative design in the textile industry, with potential applications in fashion, interiors, home goods, and more. Our ultimate goal with WORTH Partnership Project is to create regenerative, plastic-free bio-skins, with a functional and scalable manufacturing model ready to launch to the market. Additionally, we will develop a collection of these bio-skins with various finishes, colors, and textures, always maintaining the technical and aesthetic functionalities typical of CANUSSA LAB. 💪 #WorthPartnershipProject #RegenerativeMaterials #SustainableFashion #CircularFashion

Neri Oxman Believes in Fashion Reincarnation ELLE Magazine's Véronique Hyland and Neri Oxman recently discussed healing the broken industries of product, architecture, and molecular design, with a focus on a product's circular cycle. OXMAN's OZERO technology seeks to combat one of fashion's greatest waste problems: A shoe can take up to 1,000 years to biodegrade. “In the past, my grandmother would pass a piece of clothing to me, and I would pass it to my daughter. Here, you’re passing a shoe back to the soil. The soil creates a tree, the tree creates a chair, the chair creates another shoe, the shoe creates another tree, et cetera.” - Neri Oxman, CEO.

Designing with Personality: How Recycled Materials Can Shape Product Perception Consumers are increasingly drawn to sustainable products, and the materials used can significantly impact how a product is perceived. Katharina Kohllöffel (1); martin luccarelli (1); and Claus-Christian Carbon (2) from 1: Reutlingen University and 2: University of Bamberg explore the concept of "product personality" for items made from recycled materials, focusing on ocean plastic (ICED 23 Proceedings). https://lnkd.in/gdEYKRgT Join the "Design is a Team Sport" movement at ICED25 Dallas. How can designers best leverage the unique properties of recycled materials to create desirable products? What are the biggest challenges in creating a product personality that effectively communicates sustainability?

🧫 Bioprinting bacterial cellulose to make garments? Alve Lagercrantz, a fashion designer and Fabricademy alumni, shows us it’s possible! 💡 Another exciting part of the process is that by growing bacterial cellulose in a lab, we don’t need the whole complex supply chain that fashion today is built on.  👉 Read our blogpost to discover a research project exploring a different way of building a decentralized supply chain: https://lnkd.in/e3MxDv2D Fabricademy, Textile and Technology Academy Institute for Advanced Architecture of Catalonia #Fabricademy #bioprinting #bacterialcellulose

VTT TECHNICAL RESEARCH CENTRE OF FINLAND, in collaboration with Aalto University and Finnish industrial partners, has developed a new technology for shaping cardboard in a unique continuous process to create reel-to-reel #origami-inspired structures for fibre-based packaging materials. The origami folds have the capacity to yield entirely new properties from cardboard. The structures’ light weight and durability provide an excellent and visually appealing alternative to protective packing materials like plastic and expanded polystyrene. The aesthetics of the material have also garnered interest from designers. #sustainablepackaging #recyclability #paperpackaging #sustainability #circulareconomy #recycledmaterials #resourceefficiency #foodpackaging #beveragepackaging
