- Bioplastic from Wool: A Flexible, Biobased Material for Sustainable DesignA team of scientists has developed a novel bioplastic made primarily from wool, offering a sustainable and circular alternative to conventional thermoplastics. This keratin-based…
- DoschawolDoschawol consists of 100% Keratine, also known as sheep wool. It does not contain any binders, flame-detergents or other chemicals. Keratine is a renewable, ecological and secundary natural resource.
- Human hair as insulation material?There are many types of insulation material available, from synthetic to natural. A popular one in the natural category is sheep’s wool, which contains…
- KairatinThis acoustic design panel has a dual function and is made of Keratine, also known as sheep wool. It purifies the air and at the same time offers high acoustic absorption. Toxic gases such as formaldehyde, sulphur dioxide and ammonia are impeded by the panels. The sound absorption coefficient has an NRC value of 0.90.
- Waste Wool Becomes Biobased Cladding and Insulation for Building RetrofitsResearchers at Harvard University have developed wool biocomposite panels that use discarded textile fibres as both reinforcement and binder. The project, Upscaling Wool Ecologies,…
- ādara® woven fabricādara® woven fabric is a textile developed from keratin based fibres derived from human hair, engineered to perform as a durable interior material while offering a lower impact alternative to conventional fibres. Functionally, the material benefits from the inherent properties of keratin.
- A sweater made from human hairHuman Material Loop, a project founded by Studio Zsofia Kollar, explores the possibilities of waste human hair as a material and its integration into…
- Daemwool natural wool insulationDaemwool is insulation material made from natural wool. Sheep's wool is an excellent insulation material even when it's damp, so that sheep keep warm in the rain. Wool also provides protection against overheating, thus cooling rooms in summer. In addition, wool is moisturising, acoustic, fire resistant, self-extinguishing, and neutralises harmful gasses and odours.
- Rhino-Inspired Cellulose Fibres Combine Strength And BiodegradabilityResearchers from Anhui Agricultural University and Zhejiang University have developed high-performance cellulose fibres that combine the strength of advanced synthetic fibres with toughness comparable…
