Description

Pigments from textile waste for creating sustainable market ready products. The project aims to transform Australia’s mounting clothing waste by turning coloured clothing into pigments. Through scientific understanding of our innovative pigment production by milling and pigment properties, the project will ensure colour consistency, levelness and fastness of colour in applied products. Outcomes will lead to pigment manufacturing processes that use low energy and water and deliver acceptable pigment quality for textile dyeing/printing and paint formulations for artist paints, paper printing and other products. This will provide significant economic and environmental benefits through market ready pigment products, reducing textile waste, value addition to waste, and sustainable colour solutions for many sectors.. Scheme: Linkage Projects. Field: 4011 - Environmental Engineering. Lead: A/Prof Rangam Rajkhowa
