Abstract

Textile waste is an urgent but often hidden part of the plastic pollution crisis. At the heart of the problem is PET, a plastic fiber woven into millions of clothes worldwide and almost impossible to recycle once blended with cotton. Our project explores how engineered enzymes can provide a new solution by breaking down PET so that blended textiles can be reused instead of discarded. Through this approach, we aim to show how synthetic biology can help close the loop in fashion and move toward a sustainable future. Hence, our team worked across Wetlab, Drylab, Human Practice and software, and together, we achieved the following:

Liquid

Project Success

we did some really really cool stuff

Gamepad

Interactive Gaming

we also made some cool games for education

Magnifier

Advanced Analytics

also some really cool protein activity assays and stuff
