Abstract

Evolution is a survival instinct to find a safe environment to live in. Human beings are capable of developing intellect through various structures, may it be social, cultural, or critical thinking, in order to satisfy needs. Floods, pollution, smog, food shortage, rising temperature, or pandemic, are some of the crisis humans have never faced at this scale before. We have all contributed to it, whether directly or indirectly. It is therefore important that we start to change our lifestyle and preserve what remains of the nature. Ecology system needs recovery. This can be achieved through zero-waste production and consumption management such as use of biodegradable material and substitute materials. A recent study has successfully resulted in producing textile substitute by synthesizing melanin from soil. This is an alternative material. Every substance used in the process is natural rendering a biomaterial which is environment friendly. The material is made from a clean production process and is biodegradable. The researcher has further increased capacity of the innovative material by creating a genius pattern through which there is minimal waste from pattern cutting. It is designed based on a physics shape, amplituhedron, which is used to quantify matters, a geometrical shape created mathematically. The purpose of the shape is to explain relationship between particles, the smallest point of an object. This is an innovative garment fit for the future. It demonstrates a balance of utility and humility to the nature. Most importantly, it symbolizes the return to simplicity, safety, and sustainability.
