RETHINK: Wearing Kombucha in Santa Fe

Authors: Young-A Lee (Iowa State University) , Armine Ghalachyan (Iowa State University)

Abstract

Inspired by the concept “sustainability,” we challenged ourselves to rethink what constitutes sustainable consumer products in a world of increasingly stressed natural resources. We explored the innovative way to develop renewable biocomposite materials, leather-like nonwoven fabrics, which can be used for wearable products such as vest, jacket, bag, and shoes.
