Wool from remote mountain regions – be maximized into materials in local sustainable industry innovation systems that offer high returns on investment and contribute to an optimized, next-generation circular economy?
Mapping, understanding and further developing products from the biomass for interior sound-absorption/acoustic properties and for soil enhancement will be at opposite ends of our research scope – ensuring innovation, impact, resource and fibre-property utilisation. With both a highly practical and important theoretical dimension, the project leverages knowledge-transfer between a diverse set of industrial developments, alongside research and scientific approaches.
