This technology is a biodegradable fabric-like substance composed of bio-based materials, primarily clay-rich raw soil, which can be used for apparel and alternative craft and industrial applications.
The textile industry utilizes engineered petrochemicals to produce synthetic fibers, which can deplete oil resources and negatively impact the environment. Although biopolymers and bio-composites are eco-friendly material sources, they can often be inefficient or costly to produce. Furthermore, there is a lack of technology development and standardization to enhance the production of natural earthen materials with environmental and health benefits. The development of biodegradable substances composed of natural materials can help reduce environmental impacts such as carbon emissions as well as have certain health benefits.
This technology is a biodegradable fabric-like substance composed of bio-based and earthen materials. The technology is largely comprised of clay-rich raw soil, which is highly available and has a zero-carbon footprint. Furthermore, the technology does not require bioplastic additives while also generating a flexible and light fabric with physiological benefits. The technology can be used for craft and industrial applications as well as apparel as an eco-friendly material alternative in the textile industry.
