Abstract(s)
Num cenário de crescente preocupação ambiental e procura por práticas sustentáveis, a
presente dissertação centra-se na criação de biomateriais utilizando uma abordagem
inovadora e ética fundamentada nos avanços da Biotecnologia, a partir do uso de
Celulose Bacteriana (CB) como matéria-prima para a Indústria Têxtil e do Vestuário
(ITV). Em conjunto com o Design de Moda, a investigação explora a versatilidade da CB
na produção de diversos biocompósitos, integrando elementos como biopolímeros e
biocompostos, e examinando as suas propriedades estéticas e funcionais. Esses novos
biotecidos podem ser aplicados em vários produtos do setor da moda, surgindo como
alternativa aos têxteis convencionais, sobretudo os que são altamente prejudiciais para
o meio ambiente e para a saúde dos demais seres vivos. Além disso, os biocompósitos de
CB permitem a criação de biotêxteis únicos e contribuem para a redução do impacto
negativo da ITV, promovendo uma Economia Circular (EC) ao utilizar excedentes de
outras indústrias que causam danos ambientais.
Assim, a presente dissertação pretende acompanhar a crescente conscientização,
iniciativas e leis vigentes sobre as questões éticas, tanto em termos de sustentabilidade
quanto no respeito aos direitos dos seres vivos, destacando-se o papel do designer em
adotar, promover e desenvolver produtos com materiais mais ecológicos, na procura por
um mundo mais aprimorado, uma vez que a indústria está a passar por uma revolução
com a introdução de novos materiais responsáveis e ecológicos.
Como resultado, a investigação culmina numa coleção-cápsula composta por peças de
vestuário e acessórios que não apenas demonstram a viabilidade desses materiais, mas
também inspiram uma mudança positiva no processo de produção, alinhando-se aos
valores de preservação ambiental e respeito pelos seres vivos e cumprindo com os
requisitos das questões éticas.
In a scenario of growing environmental concerns and demand for sustainable practices, this dissertation focuses on the creation of biomaterials using an innovative and ethical approach based on advancements in Biotechnology, utilizing Bacterial Cellulose (BC) as a raw material for the Textile and Apparel Industry (TAI). Together with Fashion Design, the research explores the versatility of BC in the production of various biocomposites, integrating elements such as biopolymers and biocomposites, and examining their aesthetic and functional properties. These new biotextiles can be applied to various fashion products, replacing conventional textiles that are highly harmful to the environment and the health of various species. Furthermore, BC biocomposites allow for the creation of unique biotextiles and contribute to reducing the negative impact of the TAI, promoting a Circular Economy (CE) by using waste from other industries that cause environmental damage. Thus, this dissertation aims to align with the growing awareness, initiatives, and existing laws on ethical issues, both in terms of sustainability and respect for the rights of living beings, highlighting the role of the designer in adopting, promoting, and developing products with more eco-friendly materials in the pursuit of an improved world, as the industry is undergoing a revolution with the introduction of new responsible and ecological materials. As a result, the research culminates in a capsule collection composed of clothing and accessories that not only demonstrate the viability of these materials but also inspire positive change in the production process, aligning with the values of environmental preservation and respect for living beings and fulfilling the requirements of ethical issues.
