    Countercurrent Washing:     the least contaminated water from the final wash is reused for the next-to-last wash and so on until the water reaches the first wash stage, after which it is discharged. This technique is useful for washing after continuous dyeing, printing, desizing, scouring, or bleaching.

    Digital printing     is one example from a growing list of new, more sustainable fabric-coloring technologies from both major suppliers and smaller chemical and biotech start-ups. 

    Reducing Carryover: Proper draining in batch drop/fill washing and proper extraction between steps in the continuous washing process are important.

    Anti-microbial finish by natural ingredients: Many plants have chemicals that have antibacterial effect when applied, such as tannin, flavonoids, and terpenoids.

    Implementation of nanotechnology:
    In the dyeing and finishing industry, nanotechnology is one of the most sustainable technologies.
    Following finishes can be obtained by implementation of nanotechnology:

I was part of group 2 and our theme was Beachwear. Firstly we thought we could do swimwear so we started looking for trends on WGSN. After Sarah spoke to us we were told we had to focus on accessories only. 
    We shifted our focus and divided our tasks. I was researching trends and deciding on which products to add to our range. We settled for multifunctional items that the customer could use in and out of the holiday setting. We also decided to use Luminology Technology fabric that made the garments 50+ UV protected. We thought this was a gap in the market and could be used as an area of opportunity.
    After realising our comp shop we decided on our last product: beach towel and bag. This would be 100% terry cloth (cotton) and recyclable. 
    Our final range was decided: bucket hat, sarong, head scarf and beach bag/towel. 
    Regarding sustainability we looked into a biodegradable poly bag. The latter could also be re-used as it is waterproof. 

    Overall, our team work was very good and we managed our time well. ]]>     2021-12-10 11:41:37 UTC https://padlet.com/400943321/gg4prv8ojiz0gt3/wish/1940158498     Repurposed Beachwear Presentation 400943321 https://padlet.com/400943321/gg4prv8ojiz0gt3/wish/1940569524 2021-12-10 15:28:15 UTC https://padlet.com/400943321/gg4prv8ojiz0gt3/wish/1940569524 400943321 https://padlet.com/400943321/gg4prv8ojiz0gt3/wish/1978919742 Looking at previous assignments, what did I do well?
