Researchers at Cornell discover method to use old clothes as waterproofing
A group of researchers at Cornell University have developed a new temperature synthesis technique that uses heat to transform discarded textiles into a waterproof coating for garments. The new method not only helps reduce textile waste but offers a safer alternative for impermeable clothing coatings which usually contain various chemicals. The technique offers a promising solution for tackling environmental issues related to textile disposal and encourages the development of circular economy strategies.
