A New Material for a New World | Carmen Hijosa | TEDxClerkenwell

- In my field of design and research, the question is always: how to develop a product taking into account the whole supply chain, and what are our responsibilities as designers/creators/manufacturers to people and the earth throughout the full cycle of what we develop. Through my company Ananas Anam, and the product that I have invented, Piñatex, these questions form the backbone of our business model, from the farming communities, to continuous research and development, manufacturing process and product development; crossing many boundaries and merging different fields, in order to come about with something that makes economic, social and ecologic sense to our present needs.
Hijosa’s first company, which was based in Ireland, designed and manufactured leather goods for the home and export market.
As a result of her company’s achievements and reputation, Carmen started to do design
consultancy working in South America, Asia and Europe for several years.
One of these appointments brought Carmen to work with the Design Center Philippines in
Manila, the brief being to help upgrade the design and manufacturing of leather goods aimed at the export market.
These work brought the awareness of the need to look into the development of alternative
materials to leather, using local skills and sustainable raw materials.
The result of this research work, which culminated in a PhD in the Royal College of Art, London, has been the development of a unique new textile, called Piñatex.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx
These piña fibers are traditionally woven in our country often used in making traditional dresses and garments. 🇵🇭
Pina cloth is used for ages in the Philippines. There's nothing new! Give proper credits!
she did say they used it, but not like this
@Patriot Jefferson We actually create it into nice fabric for clothing like linen and cotton, thats the product that its actually well known for in the philippines. The leather thing was hers, although I wouldnt say she invented it cause it seems to me that she just added and tweaked some the steps to make it look that way. But she should awknowledged for it since it was her idea she just needs to give proper credits.
They're now a B Corp organisation and you're still complaining? If there's a Philippino designer or scientist who has achieved commercialisation and pioneers this material production globally then yeah, maybe they should say something.
So you steal a technique and then say you invented it. Then proceed to patent it and claim is YOUR invention. Nah...
Personal journey of stealing!!
She stole this from the filipinos
Stole it from the filipinos
Theif!
colonizer
And it's good for the nonhuman animals who are conventually used for leather too!
Except she stole this technology from the Philippines and claimed it as her own. And sues any Filipino product that recreate it.
Ohh so lovely! I'm really into this new innovation and I'm currently into saving up for a pair of pinatex based shoe!
Did you buy it? Thanks for buying from a stolen Philippine craft in which she patented and profited off from, all while litigating anyone from my country who tries to sell similar products like hers even though it's OURS in the first place.
She stole this invention in the Philippines. And claimed it as their own.
Our humble Piña.
Leather has a fibrous side and a smooth "skin" side. Fake leather usually has plastic on the "skin" side. Does this too?
I'm not sure but when looking at pinatex closely it looks like "skin" side has the texture but not the slippery part or of faux leather .
in another video i saw about this they said they add polymers and such. I think one of the tricky things of plant fibers is that more often than not they are made with plastics, synthetic chemicals and such and its almost impossible to find options that are really truly 100% organic and natural
I so want to do this. Have been reading this. We have lot of leather shoes and belts in our country. I am unsure where to start with this. Exact process, machinery, not too much funds as of now! :|
Hope you can develope board out from rice haul waste the waste is similar to lawanit board which is also made from wood waste
Does there exist a video here where someone discusses the product? Not the environment, or jobs, or their favorite color; just the product and what it is?
andrew weisel None..it’s suspect, her intentions. My2 cents
It’s is made from pineapples. Fibers from leftover.
I am from Bangladesh, I have much more resources to produce this fiber , only need good customer. If i get, we can do good business together
We need to know, what chemicals are used in the "finishing" step??? any form of plastic??? even if it does its still way better than pleather, using waste fibers for strength. A LOT less plastic would be used if any. Still better than leather obv. What if wax was used, like the way waxed canvas is being used in fashion?
I concur
Give proper credit to the people from the Philippines, she stole this from them
COLONISER
Solche Schuhe kaufe ich… Danke!
🌱💚👍
Would you like to teach how to make benefits of banana 🍌 Fiber Carbon on transformation in industries in the future of climate change?
Anazing
Nice . Introduction of new world. great work.👍🌈
Too bad she didn't work with US instead of China...but great idea
ummmm
china is not involved
Sourced in the Philippines > Produced in Spain > HQ in England
it was brief but she does mention working with Chinese manufacturers 17:32
Stolen from filipinos
