Pesquisa de fibras naturais para desenvolvimento de produto com redução de impacto ambiental

Abstract

This project proposal aims to develop a material composite to create a sustainable product. With an interdisciplinary purpose, this study aims to come up with a practical solution for reducing the waste discarded by man's actions in the natural environment. In order to do this, a technical, aesthetic and functional study will be carried out focusing on three areas of knowledge: Design, Materials Engineering andBiomimetics.Bearing inmind that the planet's natural resources are becoming increasingly scarce due to ever-increasing consumption demands, thinking of innovative and intelligent ways to avoid disposing of waste in inappropriate ways is also the role of the product designer. In this way, our research goal will be to create a material that is resistant to physical shocks and water absorption and that does not present risks to the biological components of the marine ecosystem, making a more ecological proposal possible.
