Products & Textiles Research Group

The global textile industry and the textile and design-oriented research community have the potential to jointly contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals SDG of the 2030 Agenda. Urgent fields of action include the reduction of resource consumption and CO2 emissions, longer life cycles for textile products as well as transparent and circular supply chains.

In our research work, we place our activities under the lead topic of "Design & Sustainability". We look at "Design & Sustainability" from three perspectives: 

  • Circularity in the context of net zero: in the sense of a circular economy with focus on design for circularity and in the context of stakeholders resp. (business) models.
  • Recovery and secondary raw materials: design-related challenges of resources, technologies and processes of textile recycling.
  • Actors, participation and cultural transformation: society and its actors as a significant part of a sustainable future and in the focus of design innovation.

Our research team acts in an agile and transdisciplinary way along the three perspectives with the involvement of relevant stakeholders. The research group sets an interdisciplinary background with competences in textile and product design, historical research and environmental sciences. The cooperation with practice partners, the process and results of our projects and our contribution to the SDGs are reflected upon and the findings from the projects are transferred and published.

Current projects (Partially German)

3D Printing Textile Waste

Using polyester as an example, the feasibility study investigates a monomaterial approach as a strategy with regard to optimized material circularity.

CIMProW

In collaboration with HSLU and four companies, concepts for local, circular processes for the production, use and reprocessing of protective masks/disposable clothing made of cellulose are being developed in order to secure the supply of hospitals.

Greenbrick

The "Greenbrick" materials research covers the basic research for a more advanced research project.

Viscosilab

The Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts, Viscosistadt AG and Monosuisse AG are creating a new research cooperation for sustainable textiles with the Viscosistadt Lab. This is intended to realign the textile competencies at the location in Lucerne-Emmenbrücke.

Experimente mit Verputz in unterschiedlichen Körnungen und Qualitäten

Materialität@hslu

The transdisciplinary team at the Lucerne School of Art and Design and the Lucerne School of Engineering and Architecture focuses on high-quality materiality and considers the entire life cycle of a product in an effort to promote the conscious use of resources.

Instructions for using the project list

There follows a list of projects. The projects can be filtered and browsed.

The relevant search field is marked "filtersearch"; the feature can also be accessed by pressing the "s" key.

The filters are divided into tabs, each of which can contain more than one filter or permit selection by date. The tab headers can be navigated using the "Tab" key and opened using the "Space" key. The "Esc" key can be used to close the tab again. If the tab permits date selection, the "Tab" key can be used to navigate between the input fields. If the tab contains filters, these can be selected using the "Enter" key. The arrow keys can be used to navigate between the filters.
