Alganyl: Cocinando ropa sustentable
Contenido principal del artículo
Resumen
En este artículo presentamos Alganyl, un biotextil creado a partir del conocimiento corporizado que suscita cocinar. Basado en recetas Do-It-Yourself (DIY) existentes para producir bioplásticos, Alganyl es fabricado con recursos renovables, se siente como vinilo al tacto y puede ser reutilizado antes de ser convertido en compost. Hemos esbozado tres principios rectores para diseñar con Alganyl: materialidad, accesibilidad y sustentabilidad. Nuestro proceso, que es replicable, incluye la cocción del Alganyl en la cocina del diseñador, para luego cortar el material y sellarlo con calor para crear la ropa. Aplicamos estos principios y procesos de diseño para confeccionar tres prendas de Alganyl: un vestido, una blusa y una falda. Por último, abordamos el ciclo de vida de Alganyl, prestando especial atención al final de la vida de la ropa, que abordamos mediante la recocción y la biodegradación (60 días para degradar el 97%). Luego de nuestras experiencias con Alganyl, creemos que tiene el potencial de acercarnos a un futuro en que la ropa se convierta en una forma autónoma de autoexpresión, con un impacto mínimo en el medio ambiente.
