Biomanufacturing offers a unique solution to a trying problem of trying to make fashion more sustainable. Using existing organisms such as bacteria and yeast, these organisms can be programmed to make clothing materials more efficiently and more ecologically-friendly in a controlled environment. Unfortunately, currently biomanufacturing is far from perfect, as it is having various troubles with labor, production output and energy consumption, but many scientists believe that there will soon be a day when many of these issues are overcome, and we will be able to manufacture many goods using Biology.
After reading this article, I feel hopeful for the future since these technologies don’t seem to out of reach for our current society. I just hope that this technology is not exploited and/or kept away from mass use, leaving our production methods the same.
I agree with your opinion about the articles hoping that the technologies do not seem to be out of reach for our society because it would be really bad if that happens Even with the environmental problems that we have today we can deal with more. What are the various problems with labor, producing and energy consumption and how can it help fashion be more sustainable
Thank you for your response. Right now, the fashion industry has almost no priority for preserving the environment, and the labor and energy consumption heavily reflects that. The best change, I think, would be to push for more recycled materials and push for more intake of clothing collection by the US to help actually recycle clothes.
