Ecological engineering of textiles to reduce the pollution by fibre

PROJECT DETAILS

Project No 4967
Project Name Ecological engineering of textiles to reduce the pollution by fibre
Lead Organisation Water Research Australia
Research Lead Transforming Biosolids

Status: In Progress

Focus Area: Human & Environmental Health Impacts

National Research Priority: Liveability

Topics: biosolids, ecology, environment, environmental, environmental impacts, wastewater

Project Description

The aim of this project is to determine which physical features of textiles increase fibre release during washing, so they can be reengineered to minimise environmental impacts, improving the quality of bioresources such as effluent water and biosolids.

Thesis underway.
