Design Brief

• A large textile manufacturer
• wishes to manufacture more
• environmentally friendly
• products and is looking at the
• use of renewable textiles. These are
• Textiles made from crops, and other sources that
  can be regrown.
• YOUR TASK is to present
• information to the manufacturer
• about renewable textiles to help
• them to make a decision about
• what to use in the manufacture of
• their products.

Lesson 2
Starter What am I? quiz. Activity Carry out
research into renewable textiles. Plenary -
Class discussion. Students to report back their
findings.
Learning Objectives
1. Carry out research into renewable textiles.
Learning Outcomes

• Knowledge about renewable textiles.- bamboo,
  nettles, hemp, flax, Ingeo, modal, cotton,
  Lyocell.
• Report back findings to the rest of the class.

Key words
Hemp, Flax, Lyocell, Ingeo, Modal

What am I?

• I can grow a metre a day
• I am used in Chinese medicine to treat infection
• I am often used to make furniture for the
  conservatory
• I am used for scaffolding
• I can grow in many different climates
• I am eaten by pandas

Research questions - www.nnfcc.co.uk

• How is the fibre produced? i.e. what do they do
  to the material to make it into a fibre?
• What properties does the fibre have? Is it
  strong, absorbent, warm, soft, rough, crease
  easily or elastic, washable, durable?
• Where can we buy it from?
• How much does it cost per metre?

Note You will be investigating the environmental
aspects later

• 2. Report on the environmental impact of a
  renewable textile.

Key words
environmentally friendly, bio-degradable,
sustainable development
15
What is meant by the term Sustainable Development?
"Sustainable development will enable all people
throughout the world to satisfy their basic needs
and enjoy a better quality of life, without
compromising the quality of life of future
generations.
16
Environmentally friendly
Something that does not harm the environment.
Renewable
Something that can be renewed or replaced.
Biodegradable
Has the ability to break down, safely and
relatively quickly, by biological means, into the
raw materials of nature and disappear into the
environment.
