A Danish-Swedish research team is investigating whether grass fibers can replace cotton in future sustainable clothing production. The first tests look promising.
Listen to Julia Ronkainen, project leader, Wargön Innovation, Nanna Lindgaard Skovborg and Emma Hostrup, research assistants at Aarhus University.
Is it possible to make clothes from grass? Not now, but in the future it is not unlikely. Researchers from Aarhus University and the University of Borås are well on their way to finding out whether grass fibers can be spun into textiles.
In the video you get a unique insight into how researchers are working on extracting and spinning fibers from grass. Initial results indicate that grass could be a sustainable alternative to cotton.
