The Bio-Invasive Textile Library project presents a win-win solution that harmonises the ecology and fashion worlds. It harnesses invasive plants and fashion technology innovations to establish a sustainable ecosystem,addressing both biodiversity loss and ethical treatment of animals. Focusing on London’s invasive plants, the project utilises them as raw materials for fibers and dyes, while mapping their distribution to aid invasive plant management and biodiversity conservation.
