Über uns
Research Group Product & Textiles
The research group Product & Textiles focuses its diverse research activities on three key perspectives: circularity and systems, stakeholder participation and cultural transformation as well as recovery and secondary raw materials. The research group is interdisciplinary in its cooperations, methods and composition and its competencies range from textile and product design to historical research and environmental sciences. Drawing conclusions from our colla-boration with practice partners, we purposefully transfer the results produced in our projects and our contribution towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goals.
Design and Sustainability as the Product and Textiles research group’ main theme:
Circularity & Systems
The federal climate strategy and new EU regulation warrant swift action on the market and in the textile industry. In addition to slow growth and material circularity, the systemic rethinking of closed-loop processes is a pertinent area of research for a textile industry striving to become sustainable.
Recovery & Secondary Raw Materials
Short utilisation phases, poor recycling rates and reparability, and a low fibre-to-fibre recycling rate are hallmarks of the environmental impact of the textile industry’s linear economic model. We investigate concepts for novel recovery processes and secondary raw materials to address the real-life challenges associated with recycling.
Actors, Participation & Cultural Transformation
Our focus rests on the cultural impact of design. Unsustainable production and utilisation practices that have been entrenched since the industrial revolution are being scrutinised on our journey towards a more livable future.
