About Project

The Bio-Invasive Textile Library project presents a win-win solution that harmonises the ecology and fashion worlds. It harnesses invasive plants and fashion technology innovations to establish a sustainable ecosystem, addressing both biodiversity loss and ethical treatment of animals.

Focusing on London's invasive plants, the project utilises them as raw materials for fibers and dyes, while mapping their distribution to aid invasive plant management and biodiversity conservation.

By utilizing invasive plants as raw materials for fibers and dyes, it aims to address biodiversity loss and promote ethical treatment of animals. The project focuses on achieving zero-waste dyeing and technical production processes, utilizing wasted textiles for the development of ancillary bio-invasive materials.

Innovative technologies such as “implanting,” “felting,” and “spinning” are employed to create new textiles, offering fashion designers a library of sustainable options.
