Cross-disciplinary Biosolutions Seminar Series: Biotextiles – green breakthrough, dead end or just the beginning?

The seminar is open to all interested, including researchers, industry officials, and students.

Biotextiles are often presented as a green solution to the climate crisis in the textile industry. But how sustainable are they really – and for whom?

This seminar challenges those narratives and explores what is actually required for biotextiles to become a meaningful biosolution. What do we already know – and what should we investigate?

Through a cross-disciplinary lens, the symposium will explore how biotextiles operate at the intersection of biology, culture, and society. It aims to uncover the knowledge gaps that must be addressed if we are to take sustainability ambitions seriously.
