E11: Revolutionising Textile Dyeing with Enzyme Innovation with Chetna Prajaputhi.
Description
Meet Chetna, a brilliant researcher pioneering sustainable textile dyeing through groundbreaking work with laccase enzymes. Her research offers a low-impact alternative to the environmentally damaging dye processes dominating our industry today.
We explore how enzyme-based dyeing replaces high temperatures, harsh chemicals, and toxic auxiliaries whilst achieving rich, bold colours that challenge everything we thought we knew about sustainable dyeing. From enzymatic alternatives to discharge printing to diverse colour work with wool and nylon, Chetna's passion for transformation shines through.
Perfect for anyone curious about sustainable textiles, whether from design, science, or business backgrounds. Chetna's energy and dedication make this conversation both educational and genuinely inspiring.
